Pamela (Pam) Skon, LICSW, LCSW

Pamela (Pam) Skon is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 12 years of experience. She practices in Idaho and works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship strain, parenting challenges, grief, and anger. Pam also supports people handling career pressures, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, sleep problems, and coping with life changes.

She uses straightforward conversation and practical strategies to help people manage difficult feelings. Pam draws on cognitive behavioral tools and mindfulness exercises to reduce reactivity and shift thought patterns. She also brings attachment-informed thinking to help people understand how early relationships affect present responses.

Pam earned her Master’s degree in Social Work with an emphasis in counseling in 2009. Her training background and years in practice inform a mix of client-centered and psychodynamic ideas together with skill-based methods. She favors short, clear interventions and collaborative planning rather than long lectures.

In sessions she will listen closely, reflect what she hears, and suggest small steps to try between meetings. That might include brief behavioral tasks, thought records, grounding practices, or experiments in expressing boundaries. Sessions aim to make emotion easier to name and manage in daily life.

People turn to her when anger shows up as snapping at loved ones, building resentment, workplace frustration, or when someone else’s anger feels overwhelming. Pam helps people notice patterns, learn calm-down strategies, and practice different responses. If you want to change how anger shows up, she focuses on practical, repeatable tools and clear next steps.
