- LCSW
I am a White cis-gendered gay/queer male Licensed Clinical Social Worker licensed in the State of Pennsylvania who has been working in the mental health field for over 15 years. I have worked extensively with individual struggling with addictions, mood disorders, trauma, LGBT issues, and chronic medical conditions.
My therapeutic style is one of collaboration and empathy mixed with encouragement and motivation. I am particularly versed in motivational interviewing, which is a technique to assist individuals in discovering their own internal motivations for change.
Sometimes interacting with another person who is a skilled listener can be in and of itself helpful to someone looking for help. I am a skilled listener and additionally I have experience helping individuals to identify and create tangible plans of action to create change in their lives.
I look forward to working with anyone who desires and is motivated to make change in their lives.

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.

Very friendly and a very good listener. I definitely recommend him.
This was my first attempt at therapy and I turned out to be very lucky. Earl is exceptionally receptive, intelligent and has a way of distilling even complex ideas in an easy way sprinkled with his timely humor! I strongly recommend him.
Earl is great and is very easy to talk to. His experiences and knowledge as a queer man really help me as a queer man.
Earl has helped me build my confidence and to ask those hard questions of those I love in my life.
A very cool guy
Excellent professional and experienced
Earl is fantastic. He strikes a great balance of empathizing with you while also challenging you to broaden your horizons. He's authentic, and, most of all, a good man. Thank you, Earl, for all of the guidance!
So far Earl has been extremely helpful. I look forward to continue working with him.
He is easy to talk with and has helped in identifying issues and achieving effective goals.
Earl has been a great therapy match. The first couple weeks he just listened and absorbed but now we have back and forth conversation and he challenges me to get out of my comfort zone in hopes to fix my situation.
Great chemistry and very good listener. Makes me feel comfortable to speak upon significant experience with him.
Earl is a kind, wonderful person. He’s gentle in the way he addresses things. I’m lucky to have such a wonderful therapist.
From the get-go, I felt immediately at ease with Earl. Even though he worked with me for a short time, he provided an important outside perspective that helped improve my outlook on my situation. I appreciated our ability to be mutually honest with each other.
