About Jerome

Dr. Jerome Anderson is a licensed clinical social worker with 24 years of experience. He holds the credentials LCSW and LICSW and practices from Maryland. He focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, relationship concerns, career changes, and coping with life changes. His background includes long work in clinical and forensic settings and in public service roles. He has provided psychotherapy, counseling, and consulting for a range of mental health concerns. That experience includes roles in behavioral health services for government organizations and work inside criminal justice settings. In sessions he uses practical techniques drawn from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral ideas, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused steps. He aims to help people identify what feels most useful, try manageable changes, and notice small improvements. Sessions are straightforward and focused on day-to-day problems. He often helps with sleep problems, parenting stress, anger, low self-esteem, depression, bipolar symptoms, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and intimacy or communication issues. He also addresses topics such as body image, codependency, blended family difficulties, and separation or divorce concerns. Dr. Anderson accepts clients who are comfortable working in English and those outside the U.S. who can join sessions internationally.

How these approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's own goals and perspective. It emphasizes listening, understanding, and following what the person feels is most important, which helps when navigating life changes or relationship concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It provides practical exercises and small experiments to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, or change unhelpful patterns in day-to-day life.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus. It can help with stress, anger, and managing mood swings.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences and will adjust the plan as needs change.

Confirm the available session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or letting someone avoid heavy bandwidth when video is difficult. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches to work over the internet, helping clients try tools and track progress between sessions.
