More about me

Years in Practice: 22 State: Connecticut

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the state of Connecticut with over 20 yrs. experience in areas that include trauma, anxiety, parenting challenges, ADHD, autism, racism, varying levels of depression, grief and loss and emotional/psychological impacts of the pandemic. Specifically, some of my work experiences have been in an outpatient clinic, working with homeless, all school aged children, coordinating a trauma first responders' team, adults and family situations that including grief and loss related challenges. I interact naturally with a friendly and professional style. Honesty and giving my undivided attention in each session is part of who I am as a therapist. Expect that sometimes and sometimes not you may hear what you want to hear in our session. I believe everyone deserves an abundance of respect and not to be judged or treated unfairly. Anyone that wants help, takes the time to seek out help deserves a compassionate, sincere and professionally motivated response. This is something I can do. Utilizing my professional training and experiences couples with my life experiences we can get to the other side with positive outcomes.

I have a natural thinking process that's aligned and targets restructuring thought processes that are harmful. I believe people who desire can little by little adjust the thought patterns that are creating the most challenges in their lives to more positive routines of thought. It's essential to take the necessary journey aimed at improving the quality of your life. Take pride in reaching out the right way for support. Share this portion of your journey with me. I offer the best of my personal life and professional experiences to guide us to the other side or to the healthier thought processing.

Let's start the conversation and move toward improving whatever thought processes that may be getting in your way or holding you back from where or who you want to be.

I'm excited to meet you and look forward to our future conversations.

Good job for taking the step to a healthier you!

In the meantime, take care and stay safe.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Ethel is a very kind and compassionate listener. I just started counseling with her and so far I've enjoyed talking to her during my sessions.

Thank you Ethel, God's blessings be with you.

She is a happy contagious person

Ms Ethel Dickerson offers a lot of insight quickly and is on point in leading the therapy session. I recommend her to anyone seeking assistance!

Ethel is a wonderful therapist! She’s incredibly kind and understanding. She also helps to give you a different perspective on your situation. I am very grateful to have been connected with Ethel, and I feel truly understood and seen when I speak to her. I think many people will benefit from having her as a therapist.

I recommended my therapist this past week! When we worked directly, she was a great source of support. Ethel provided me with resources and ways to reflect on what was critical to get through the "crummies." Thanks, Ethel, for continuing to follow up with a weekly hello! It is most appreciated.

Wonderful, compassionate, and understanding. The sessions have been a tremendous help.

Ethel is understanding and knows what is best for me. She cares, offers advice and personal connections, is always positive and helpful! Thank you for all you do, Ethel!

Wonderful, kind, and understanding. She tries to offer helpful tips and different perspectives on my situation and I appreciate my therapy with her.

Ethel is very attentive and has a keen sense of understanding. She often helps me see things from different perspectives. My world can be chaotic at times, and she helps me bring calm. Definitely agree Counselor to have!

Over the course of this past year, where I truly did not know if I would make it to the end of my week. Ethel not only helped me get myself out of an incredibly awful time but managed to give me the tools I needed to get myself out. I have become a much stronger person while being more true to myself. I would not be where I am today if it weren’t for her. Whether it be her warm demeanor or inviting presence, it allowed me to open up - which is not something that is easy for me to do. She is an amazing person and we need more like her in this world.

She is great! and listens very well to my issues and provides great advice and viewpoints to help understand and approach my issues differently.

Ethel gives sound and supportive advice. Her personality and clinical background make her a wonderful therapist and I’m so grateful for her in my corner.

I have actually already recommended better help and Ethel to friends looking for therapists. Even in this short time I feel a connection to someone who understands me, she listens and shares her own experience with me which makes me feel understood.

I can’t put into words how wonderful Ethel is…

Ethel is so kind, listens as I go on and on, is complimentary and understanding. She offers techniques that make sense not only in general, but that are specific to me. I love talking with her and appreciate her so so so very much! Thank you for all you do to support me, Ethel!!!

Ethel is a great listener and always brings an upbeat attitude to every session! She is encouraging and motivating. I never feel judged when I tell her something personal or deep. She always responds to my messages and makes sure I bring up what I want to talk about.

Ethel is incredible. She genuinely cares about the people she works with, and it shows in the work she does. I always leave my conversation with Ethel feeling like I got to talk about everything I wanted to discuss, and with some new take away that is helpful. If everyone had someone like Ethel in their lives, the world would be a better place.

Ethel is extremely knowledgeable. She is kind and an excellent listener. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is in need to to talk with someone.

Ethel is wonderful and honest. I feel like she has taken the time to get to know me and the issues with which I'm seeking help. Great listener, compassionate, but she'll also give you her objective opinion, which I greatly appreciate!

I really appreciate how Ethel sends me messages a couple of times during the week just to check up and see how I’m doing. I always enjoy our sessions and she never fails to help me with anything I’m going through.

Ethel is by the far the best listener and understanding therapist I’ve had! I enjoy all of our sessions. No matter how I feel going into the session, I always feel better after. Would recommended her 1000 times over.

All I can say is that she’s great and really cares.

despite me only knowing Ethel for such a short period of time, I have been able to connect with her in ways that I have not been able to do with people, I’ve known my entire life. Her warm and sweet demeanor allows me to open up and talk with her, I recommend her to anyone.

Ethel has worked through many issues that I've had. Especially how to help my sister who lost her son last year.

I’ve already recommended my therapist and BetterHelp to someone that is in a position to help people.

She is great and gives me great advice and guidance

Ethel was wonderful to talk to, very possitive, affirming and empathetic. Would certainly recommend her services.

Ethel is wonderful to talk with

Really have a nice time talking to Ethel. She listens and talks out any issues I may have. She very supportive and caring.

Ethel is a wonderful listener and caring person. She quickly understood my needs. I feel very comfortable speaking w/ her. She has been so very helpful to me.

Ethel is such an amazing therapist and human being in general. She helped me work through a low point in my life, gave me tools to cope and make it to the other side as a more assertive person (still learning, but getting better) in control of my own happiness. She actually listens and truly provided me the tools to help work towards becoming the best version of myself as possible.

Very helpful and understands my needs. Easy to talk to.

Very good listener and empathetic

Very kind and understanding.

I have asked for a Christian therapist and need to confirm

Ethel is a wonderful therapist who has helped me with my issues immensely

Ethel is a wonderful therapist. She is kind, supportive, and helps you to think about things in a different way. She helps you get some perspective on your situation. I have enjoyed my experience with her and would absolutely recommend her to others.

Right from the start, she is extremely easy to talk to and relatable. You can tell she really cares.

She is fantastic!

Ever since our first meeting, Ethel has done an amazing job of not only validating my feelings but giving me feedback and opinions I had not yet seen before. She truly is such a compassionate and caring person. Anyone who is going trough anything in there life, I just know Ethel can help them through it. Her calm and sweet spirit allows her to mellow me out and talk about the problem at hand and not just my reaction to it.

Ethel is great! I feel like I’m taking to someone that knows me for a very long time. She is interested in my growth and I talks to me like someone that actually cares about my well-being.

Thank you Ethel

I just started therapy with Ethel about a week ago and from the beginning I think we hit off well. She asked about my concerns and offered some suggestions to help get me on track with my goals. She's a good listener and she asks the right questions to get me to engage in therapy. Mel B

Ethel listens compassionately and offered constructive feedback when asked. She allows lots of space for and offers tools for self assessment.

Wonderful, insightful and supportive

Ethel is an amazing therapist and I really enjoy talking with her as well as sharing my struggles with her. I love her sense of humor and the questions she asked me so I can think of ways to help myself while she’s helping me. I truly appreciate her always reaching out to me to see how I’m doing throughout the week. I’m happy I have her as a therapist.

I think Ethel is great. The system for communications and scheduling is not good.

Ethel is so great! She really understands and can relate to how I have been struggling and she offers a lot of reassurance throughout the week. I never feel like just a client or a burden in any way. I am very grateful for all the support!

Ethel has been a breath of fresh air, always honest, but sensitive and incredibly helpful. She has so much life experience she can draw on alongside her professional expertise. I love chatting to Ethel!

Ethel is super awesome. She understands and listens.

I’m new to therapy and Ethel has already been so helpful. She’s so easy to talk to and gives me ways of dealing with issues I’m having outside of our sessions, which has been very valuable.

I really enjoy talking with Ms. Dickerson. She makes it really easy to talk to her and have a great conversation. I am truly grateful we connected and have a great report. I never thought this would be as helpful and needed as it has been. Thank you Ms. Dickerson!

Ethel is exactly who I needed to assist me through this time in my life. Ethel is understanding yet challenges me to look positively at myself during a time that it's difficult to do so. I look forward to speaking to her each week!

I love her

I love speaking with Edith. She gets me and I appreciate her enthusiasm and encouragement she provides. I’m so thankful I was matched with her.

Ms. Dickerson is AMAZING!.

Ethel has been very helpful she she's a great listener and she also is straight up I appreciate that very much

Review to come soon.

A good Listener and Advicer. Kind hearted and knows her job. Cc:Ernest

Ethel is a great person, and I like her but I'm looking for something a different in a therapist.

Ethel is particularly amazing as a therapist because of her wisdom. She openly, and honestly shares all of herself with you as a therapist and I feel, at least for me, that having this sort of transparency in communication makes it easier to open up about what I feel. She holds no judgements, and is very receptive to what you say. She will ask you questions, and tells you what you need to hear - not always necessarily what you want to. I’m therapy averse, and Ethel has completely changed my outlook on therapy. A GEM.

Ethel was very sympathetic with my situation and offered great advice to help me resolve my issues and talk me off the ledge.

She listens Provides great insight Makes you feel comfortable in these hard times

Ethel is very kind, positive, and easy to talk to. She asks the right questions. She is tough when she needs to be but also knows when to not push too hard. Thank you.

I love Ethel she and I connected quickly. Meeting her has helped to on my journey of mental health . Much Thanks

Ethel is an empathetic listener who is thorough in her work in supporting me. I would highly recommend her as a therapist.
