My name is Adam Whyte, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in the State of California. I currently hold a position as a Senior Clinical Social Worker at the VA (Veterans Affairs) working with Veterans.
Since obtaining my MSW in 2001, I have continued to deepen my clinical skills as a counselor focusing on treating trauma, addition, depression, anxiety, confidence issues, wellness and health. I am experienced in providing support to people of a variety of ages, genders, cultures and sexual orientations. The techniques I have utilized to help individuals with their self-growth have included mindfulness, journal writing, recognizing supports, and developing inner strengths. I am well versed in many different therapeutic tools. In particular; Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Relapse Prevention and Strengths Based Therapy.
I feel I can be an effective counselor to individuals who are striving to improve themselves and gain more self-fulfillment in life.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Adam rocks!
We have not begun our sessions but he is very timely checking in.
Patient and easygoing. No feeling of pressure on my side. He had great knowledge of the specific issues I was dealing with (substance abuse), and when I wanted to explore other issues peripheral/core to that initial issue Adam was extremely adaptable and accommodating. Good internet connection. Adam is also very good about allowing the session to flow slightly overtime, and so I never felt pressured to end a session on a hasty note.
Adam has really made my nervousness with counseling a great experience. He gives me methods to deal with my anxiety. I always feel good after my sessions.
