Helen Woodrum, LCSW

Helen Woodrum is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with ten years of outpatient practice experience. She began in community mental health centers and later worked in an outpatient behavioral health clinic inside a hospital. Helen focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, ADHD, and related life challenges.

Her work grew from an early interest in trauma and how complex trauma can affect daily life. She uses a mix of practical approaches to help people process difficult experiences and regain steadiness. Sessions often include learning skills, building self-awareness, and weaving self-care for both mind and body into treatment.

Helen prefers to start with what feels most urgent to the person in front of her. She helps people identify realistic steps, develop resilience, and practice techniques that fit their daily life. She values clear goals and ongoing learning as parts of the therapy process.

Her Master’s in Social Work informs how she considers a person’s environment and relationships when planning care. That perspective helps tailor work to each person’s situation, not just symptoms.

Clients can expect a therapeutic space that aims for safety, predictability, respect, humor, and connection. The overall tone is supportive and practical, focusing on useful strategies rather than abstract theory.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Attachment-Based Therapy helps people understand how early relationships affect current connections and emotional responses. It focuses on how to feel safer in relationships and improve communication with important people in life.

Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's own goals and pace. The therapist listens, reflects, and supports self-directed growth so people can discover what changes feel most meaningful.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical tools to change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Helen will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to emphasize and adjust as progress is made.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm current session options before booking since formats were not specified in the bio. Online work can make scheduling easier, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and remove the need to travel to appointments. Therapists can adapt exercises, teach skills, and help process emotional material effectively in remote sessions when that format fits a person's life and needs.
