Hi, I'm Llane, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who focuses on supporting children, adolescents, and families. I have experience helping young people with anxiety, emotional regulation, behavioral concerns, life transitions, self-esteem, and family or supportive, and developmentally appropriate space where children and teens can feel comfortable expressing themselves, building confidence, and learning practical skills to manage difficult emotions.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to each child or teen's developmental needs. I incorporate evidence-based approaches such as CBT, exposure-based strategies, motivational interviewing, play, art, and skills-based interventions. I also value parent and family involvement when appropriate, helping caregivers better understand their child's needs while developing practical strategies they can use at home.
The first session is focused on getting to know you and understanding what brings you to therapy. For children and teens, I work to create a comfortable and welcoming environment while learning about their strengths, concerns, relationships, and goals. Parents or caregivers will also be involved to provide additional background and discuss concerns. Together, we will begin identifying goals for therapy and what support may be most helpful moving forward.
