Helen Woods, LCSW, LISW

Helen Woods is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) practicing in Ohio with eight years of experience. She works with adults on a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, anger, bipolar disorder, addictions, and ADHD. Her background includes community mental health work supporting people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.

Helen’s style is interactive and person-focused. She uses clear conversation and practical tools in sessions. She avoids stigmatizing labels and aims to treat people with respect and sensitivity. Sessions focus on problems people bring, like relationship strain, work stress, or recurring anger.

She blends approaches from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. That mix lets her work on thoughts, behaviors, emotion regulation, and present-moment awareness. Expect active reflection, skill practice, and short exercises you can use between sessions.

Her experience in community mental health means she has worked with people facing complex life stressors and co-occurring issues. She has helped people cope with grief, trauma, workplace problems, and social anxiety. Sessions often include planning concrete steps and checking what works in daily life.

People who want to manage anger better - whether it shows up at home, work, or in relationships - will find practical strategies here. Helen encourages steady progress through small changes and focused skills practice.
