Jess Williams
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSS, LCSW
When you're living your life just a little bit differently from other people, it can feel like the world just wasn't made for you - and it sucks. Whether it's how or who you love, how your brain works, the way you seem to worry about absolutely everything, or the decisions you make about what you want your life to look like, it can feel super isolating and discouraging to not feel seen and understood by those around you. When I work with clients, that is my main goal - to help them feel seen, understood, and accepted for who they are. Sure, we will work on your anxiety, I'll give you new techniques to try and different ways to think about the world around you, and we'll explore practical advice for things like workplace stress, relationship issues, and family drama, but I also want to help you like YOU more than you ever have before. It might sound cliche (in fact, I know it does), but developing the ability to back yourself, accept your emotions without judgement, and make decisions that feel truly right to you can make all the difference in the world. AND with online therapy, we can do all of this from the comfort of your own home - no traffic, finding a parking spot, or worrying about being on time! I work with clients virtually throughout Delaware, Pennsylvania, and Maryland.
Starting therapy can be anxiety-provoking at times, which is why I offer free consultations to all prospective clients. You can book a free 20 minute phone call directly on my website, and I'll reach out to you right away to confirm. We can chat about what you're looking for support with AND make sure everything feels like a good fit before scheduling an intake. I can't wait to connect with you!

Loren Conaway, PhD
Psychologist, PhD
I am a clinical psychologist specializing in the treatment of anxiety disorders and related issues. I have specialized training in evidence based treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder, body focused repetitive behaviors (trichotillomania - hair pulling - and skin picking/lip chewing), panic disorder, phobias, social anxiety and generalized worries.
I received specialized training via the University of Pennsylvania Center for the Treatment and Study of Anxiety for the treatment of trichotillomania (hair pulling), tics, and obsessive compulsive disorder. I completed the International Obsessive Compulsive Foundation Behavior Therapy Training Institute. I also participated in an observership at Mayo Clinic in the Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Psychology as a visiting professional in the OCD intensive outpatient treatment program in 2019.
Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviors (BFRBs) are quite common and include trichotillomania (hair pulling), nail picking/biting, skin picking, lip/cheek biting, tongue chewing, etc. I completed the TLC Foundation for Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviors Professional Training Institute.
I utilize evidence based cognitive-behavioral therapy (including exposure and response prevention) integrating mindfulness strategies and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). I completed a 2022 ACT "bootcamp" training with founder Steven Hayes, PhD.
I completed basic training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) via the University of Pennsylvania in 2024.

Jennifer L Abel
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I've devoted my career to helping people effectively manage anxiety. Most of the tools you will learn are quick and easy strategies that require very little time out of your busy schedule. You'll learn why your prior methods have failed and what to do differently.
A unique service I provide is allowing you to answer three pages of questions and anything else you want me to know, prior to our first session. I read that, write it on paper, sometimes research (e.g. medications or disease), such that I know you pretty well before we even meet. This gives us a great head start before we meet!

Whether you are down the street or hundreds of miles away, trust that you will feel the same warmth, connection, and attention from me over video as you would face-to-face.

Virtual sessions allow clients to receive support from the comfort and privacy of their own space, whether at home, in the car, or during a quiet moment in the day. For many, this flexibility reduces barriers to care and makes it easier to stay consistent with therapy.

I specialize in working with teens and young adults with anxiety, depression, and school avoidance. I now provide Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) treatment for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD).
As an adolescent or young adult, you might spend most of your day in school with a variety of feelings to manage. If you have trouble in school, you might hate where you are most of your day. The anxiety and depression make it all feel unmanageable. Maybe you are just realizing that you don’t have to live each day hating your life. Together, we can work on skills you need to take control of your feelings and improve your daily life.

Jennifer L. Lechliter
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC, NCC
Hi, I'm Jenn. From a variety of my own experiences & challenges over the years, I've learned firsthand how stressful & overwhelming life can be - especially during forced or unexpected changes such as moving, starting college, getting a promotion, or facing an unexpected loss of any kind. If you find yourself feeling stuck, burnt-out, frequently questioning yourself with imposter syndrome, & striving for perfection in ways that impact your school/work, relationships, & everyday realities: I want you to know you are capable of finding relief in ways beyond what you might initially believe. My personalized, trauma-informed approaches have supported numerous individuals in leading more fulfilling, balanced lives.
My online practice allows you the convenience of meeting from the comfort of your home when time is short.

Margaret Graham
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, LCPC, LPCC
About My Practice
I provide specialized online therapy for adults (18+) navigating anxiety, trauma, and complex life challenges. Through evidence-based therapeutic techniques delivered in a secure virtual environment, I create a supportive space for healing and personal transformation from wherever you are. My approach focuses on getting to the root of what's creating your struggles rather than just managing surface symptoms.
My Approach
My practice centers on what I call "updating your operating system"—we explore the roots of your patterns, understand how you got where you are, and consciously choose where you want to go next. This isn't about dwelling in the past; it's about understanding yourself more deeply so you can move forward with clarity and confidence. I bring together evidence-based techniques like CBT, ACT, Coherence Therapy, and clinical hypnosis with mindfulness practices, creating sessions that are collaborative and organic rather than rigid or prescribed.
Here's what might surprise you: one of the most powerful dimensions of real change is acceptance. Not the passive, resigned kind, but the courageous turning toward where you are with care and curiosity. This approach allows you to look squarely at reality and move forward from a place of truth rather than resistance.
Areas of Specialization
I specialize in supporting clients with:
Anxiety: Managing generalized worry, social anxiety, perfectionism-driven anxiety, decision paralysis, and the anxiety that stems from unprocessed trauma
Trauma Processing: Working through childhood trauma, parentification, relational wounds, and past experiences that continue to shape how you move through the world today
Complex Family Dynamics: Navigating challenging relationships with adult children, aging parents, partners, and other family members where boundaries feel blurred
Grief and Loss: Processing loss in its many forms—of people, relationships, the life you thought you'd be living, or your sense of purpose and identity
Patterns That No Longer Serve: Breaking cycles of people-pleasing, over-functioning, perfectionism, and abandoning your own needs to care for others
Benefits of Online Therapy
My virtual practice offers several advantages:
- Access specialized trauma-informed therapy from the comfort of your own space
- Greater scheduling flexibility across multiple time zones
- Elimination of travel time and transportation barriers
- A familiar environment that may enhance feelings of safety during vulnerable work
Getting Started
I work best with people who are managing to keep their heads above water but know something needs to shift—those experiencing mild to moderate concerns rather than acute crises. I welcome clients who are curious, open to looking at their lives holistically, and interested in a partnership approach. If you're willing to do the sometimes uncomfortable work of growth and want genuine understanding rather than therapy-speak, we'll likely be a good match.
My style is warm, direct, and refreshingly real. Research shows the most important factor in successful therapy is whether you feel genuinely understood and emotionally safe with your therapist—building that authentic connection is central to how I work.
