More about Efrion
- 3 years' experience
- Male
- LMSW
I am a Master Level Clinical Practice Licensed Social Worker in the State of Michigan. I have been Clinically licensed for the past 21 years. My experience has ranged from counseling to program management including in-home and office based services. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, mood disorders, military-related issues, gender identity related issues and people who have experienced all forms of trauma.
I obtained my BS in Social Work in 1997 from Prairie View A&M University. I obtained my MSW in 1998 from The University of Michigan School of Social Work. I have worked in many clinical settings including nonprofits and hospitals. I have experience in counseling couples, individuals (adults and children) and facilitating groups. I have received specialized training Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for Depression (CBT-D).
My therapeutic approach combines cognitive-behavioral therapy, spiritual-based therapy, goal-directed therapy, solution focused therapy and reality-based therapies. I ultimately believe that we partner in the therapeutic relationship to make progress.
My goal is to help individuals recognize the power that they have in their mental health recovery.

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.
