Lavonne Freeman, LCSW, LICSW — Therapist in New Jersey

Hi there, I'm Lavonne!

I offer short-term goal-oriented therapy whereby you will have opportunities to use strategies outside of the therapy platform as a means for overcoming intrusive thoughts, doubt, worry, anxiety, and or depression.

My focus

Struggling with anxious thoughts or self-doubt? I work with adults navigating anxiety, life transitions, depression, grief, and pain management. Together, we’ll build coping skills and create a personalized growth plan that feels empowering and achievable.

My approach

I use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help you identify and reshape unhelpful thoughts. My approach is practical and collaborative, giving you tools to feel more in control. I may also incorporate mindfulness or other techniques to support your unique goals and progress.

My communication style

My communication style is supportive and understanding to assist you throughout the journey of counseling.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey to become a therapist began with a curiosity about human resilience and a desire to help others find strength through life’s challenges. I’m driven by the belief that everyone has the capacity for growth, healing, and lasting change.

My goals for you

I see therapy as a partnership. Together, we’ll set goals that matter to you. As you gain new insights, we’ll adapt your plan to stay meaningful and supportive as you move toward where you want to be.

Our first session

Your first session is a chance for us to get to know each other and discuss what brings you to therapy. We’ll move at your pace, one step at a time, and I’ll be here to guide you throughout.
