My name is Silka Steele; I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) located in the state of Virginia. I work passionately with children, families, and provided mental health support for the past 10 years within many capacities.
Therapy with me is built on rapport, judgment-free, and leaves you feeling safe and empowered. My counseling style is motivating and collaborative. I am a believer that everyone has a life purpose and the inner strength that will impact change. You are the writer of your story!
I specialize in the healing process and will help you navigate through childhood and generational trauma, anger management, stress management, relationship problems, self-esteem related issues, veteran, and active military.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
