Sara Fraser
Psychologist, PhD
Like many of you, the pandemic profoundly impacted the way I live and work. I moved my practice completely online in the face of COVID restrictions and have not returned to in person work. I was impressed with the way that online therapy offered clients many more options for their work with me and I found clients able to keep up with their sessions consistently and reliably with more connection options open to them. Via safe and secure telehealth sessions, I offer parent consultation for kiddos under 10, online therapy with older kids, teens and families and individual therapy for adults, specializing in trauma and trauma focused therapies.

Karla Lawrence
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC, BC-TMH, CPC
Hello, my name is Karla Lawrence, and I run a distance (online) counseling and coaching practice for adult individuals in Maryland. I specialize in self-care, anxiety, depression, codependency, stress and burnout recovery counseling for compassionate women & soulful introverts.
While online (tele-therapy) is not the right choice for everyone, in many cases it can be just as effective as in-person therapy. You can easily schedule an appointment during your work day, at home, or after you've put the kids to bed. You can save money and time while still making your mental/emotional health a priority. If you identify as a people pleaser, “nice” girl/guy/person, introverted, shy, and/or highly sensitive person in Maryland, I would love to help.
