Lenora has been an absolute beacon of light on my journey in healing.

More about Lenora

  • 28 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW

I truly believe that self awareness and acceptance are the building blocks for creating meaningful and lasting change. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 25 years of experience working as a therapist, behavioral coach, and medical social worker, I have witnessed people overcome great obstacles and reach their goals.

I have worked with clients of all ages with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, stress, OCD, ADD/ADHD, grief and loss, pain and living with chronic health issues. I have completed multiple specialized training programs required for Post-Graduate Certifications as a Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional; Certified Family Trauma Professional; Certified Dialectical Behavioral Therapy Professional; with a Certificate in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I): Evidence-based Insomnia Interventions for Trauma, Anxiety, Depression, and Chronic Pain; and a Certificate in John and Julie Gottman's "10 Core Principles for Effective Couples Therapy."

My counseling style is supportive, interactive and motivational. I offer a non-judgmental approach that combines cognitive-behavioral, mindfulness, dialectical behavioral, acceptance based, and solution focused strategies. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs, while encouraging the areas to observe and the skills to practice.

It takes courage to take the first steps towards self improvement, and I applaud you for being on this journey. I am here to support and empower you. One of my mindful mantras I like to share: "I accept, therefore I am. I let go, therefore I grow. I believe, therefore I can."

I look forward to working with you and being your guide to improved wellness and mental strength.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a 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.

In such a short time, Lenora has helped me in more ways I have never thought could be possible. She has listened and underground my points of view and has helped me with the things I need to work on. My anxiety has improved and I look forward to speaking with her! She makes me feel so comfortable and I never feel judged for talking about what I am going through and what I am feeling. I am so beyond thankful I decided to go with BetterHelp and for being matched with Lenora.

Lenora was everything I needed when I didn't know I needed it. She gave me a gentle nudge in the right direction everytime I came to her with a problem. She was very supportive and never judged! I am very grateful for her kind words and reassurance. I wasn't in a great place with my anxiety and became depressed because of it. She helped me transform into a healthier and happier version of myself that I thought couldn't exist.

I was matched with Lenora about 6 months ago and I could not be more grateful for her support and guidance navigating through life challenges. Lenora is kind and resourceful and her encouraging words have made the last few months so much easier to handle. I will be suspending my subscription shortly as I feel like I am in such a good and balance space. But ONLY after I verified that Lenora will be available to me should the time come I need her support.

Because of her, I feel more confident and in control of my life. I am truly so grateful that I was matched with her as my counselor.

Lenora is an amazing counselor and a wonderful person to talk to, I would absolutely recommend her. When I started my sessions I was still hesitant to open up to someone about the thoughts that were running in my mind, and now after a couple of months I feel like I would miss talking about my day with Lenora - she is very patient, and understanding and made me feel comfortable from the very beginning. I trust her advice and absolutely love her practical tips for the day-to-day stressful things which changed my outlook on important areas in my life. Throughout our conversations I never felt uncomfortable like I was being interviewed or analyzed - it just felt like I was talking to a friend who was wiser than me :) And Lenora always made sure she checked-in on me frequently while giving me my space and let me decide the pace at which we were working on some of my issues. My days are not completely ruled by my emotions now and I think I am more centered than I was couple of months ago. Thank you so much Lenora.
