I am a client-focused, compassionate, and experienced Therapist who is dedicated to helping clients determine their best courses of actions for improved living.
Hi, I’m Erica Burns, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Frederick, Maryland. I work with clients who are ready to understand themselves more deeply, heal old wounds, and create healthier, more fulfilling lives and relationships.
Many of the people who find their way to my practice are thoughtful, self-aware people who have already done a lot of reflecting, yet still feel stuck in certain patterns. Maybe anxiety shows up at the worst possible moments. Maybe relationship dynamics leave you feeling confused, hurt, or questioning your own worth. Or maybe you’re simply exhausted from trying so hard to hold everything together.
If you’ve ever wondered, “Why do I keep repeating the same patterns?” or “Why can’t I seem to quiet my mind no matter how hard I try?” — you’re not alone. These struggles often come from experiences, beliefs, and coping strategies that once helped you survive but may no longer serve you.
I believe therapy works best when it feels real, collaborative, and even a little lighthearted at times. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I help teens and adults understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and actions — and how to shift them in a healthier direction. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you can explore, grow, and start feeling more like yourself again.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Towson, MD
Searching for therapists in Towson starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. You may be looking for care related to anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, or work stress. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties, training, and therapy styles that match what you want to address. A therapist’s bio can also show how they structure sessions, what populations they work with, and what you can expect from their approach.
In a smaller city like Towson, local appointment options may vary by neighborhood, schedule, and specialty. Virtual therapy can expand your choices while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in Maryland. As you narrow your search, consider whether you prefer in-person or virtual sessions, how soon you want to start, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether a free phone consultation is available. Reading profiles before booking can help you compare communication style, experience, and scheduling fit in one place.
Therapy in Towson can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before your first appointment. Headway helps you find therapists who match your needs, accept a wide range of insurance plans, and offer clear cost estimates before you book. You can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
