About Adam

Adam Turkel is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with the LCSW-R credential, bringing 22 years of clinical experience to his practice. He developed extensive expertise while working with diverse populations at a large community hospital, supporting people facing mood disorders such as bipolar disorder and depression, psychotic conditions such as schizophrenia, and challenges related to chemical dependency. He also assists clients navigating relationship and family difficulties, parenting and fatherhood concerns, and intimacy-related issues.

Using a client-centered approach, Adam focuses on understanding each person as an individual and helping them identify practical paths to change. He combines that orientation with techniques drawn from cognitive behavioral and mindfulness-informed methods and motivational interviewing when appropriate to address stress, anxiety, grief, sleep problems, addictions, and life transitions. He offers both short-term and longer-term therapy, tailoring recommendations after a quick but thorough assessment of an individual’s needs.

Adam’s practice includes work on career and financial stress, coping with caregiving and aging-related concerns, and assistance with forgiveness, life purpose, and midlife issues. He provides services in English and applies his experience to help clients set and reach their personal treatment goals through collaborative, goal-focused counseling.

Approaches That Inform Online Care

Adam integrates client-centered work and cognitive behavioral strategies into his online practice to meet a range of needs. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes understanding each person from their own perspective and creating a supportive space for exploring goals and values - it is well suited to relationship concerns, life transitions, and self-esteem work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to stress, anxiety, depression, or sleep difficulties and then building practical skills to shift those patterns. Mindfulness Therapy adds techniques to increase present-moment awareness and stress management, which can be helpful for anxiety, grief, and coping with chronic life stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. Adam collaborates with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences and then tailors a plan that may draw from one or more of these methods. That collaborative process helps ensure the approach fits the person rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy with Adam is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexible ways to access care around work, family, and caregiving commitments. These options make it easier to schedule consistent sessions and to continue therapy through life changes while working with a licensed professional.
