More about Juliana

  • 12 years' experience
  • Female
  • LICSW, LCSW-C

I am a clinical social worker licensed in the District of Columbia and Maryland. I have provided services in the mental health and child welfare setting for more than 10 years. My clinical approach is client-centered, strength-based, and solution-focused. I use my skill set to assist clients to discover their strengths and improve on coping skills they have utilized and learn new approaches. I work with deaf, hard of hearing, and hearing clients. With hearing clients, we will use live chat or video with live captions. The clients will determine the options that are comfortable for them.

I believe that the clients are experts on what works on the issues they face. I have worked with clients on anxiety. adjustment issues, trauma, and stress-related concerns, coping with life changes using the strength-based, solution-focused approach as well as motivational interviews.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

God bless Juliana Sarkodee! She is truly a Bible based, Christian, woman of God!

Reviewed February 2023

I am a fast-talking, overly busy, highly introspective person and Juliana is exactly what I needed to slow down, focus on one challenge at a time, try new techniques and perspectives, and develop sustainable strategies. She is good at listening and tailoring her suggestions to get more traction, but also knows when to nudge you to try something. She also does an incredible job of circling back and revisiting topics to check in so therapy feels like it’s progress along an arc of improvement, not just a series of sporadic conversations.
