More about Gerard

  • 4 years' experience
  • Male
  • LPC

I am licensed in Maine with 4 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger management, & motivation, self esteem, and confidence. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.

I also wanted to add, I have worked with patients and clients at the State's Psychiatric Facility in Augusta, and also had the pleasure to work at Togus the State's primary Veterans' Hospital. In addition to this, I have had the opportunity to work within the Department of Corrections at the Farm and at MSP in Warren, Maine.

During the early years of my career, I have worked in the Augusta Maine area around the State House. All of the people with whom I had the chance to work with are exceptional people, each one with their own skill but with exceptional empathy and compassion traits that are second to none.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
