Ciara Hoover, LCPC

Psychotherapist
MD
I have been practicing as a professional counselor for over three years. Two of those years have been licensed in the state of Maryland, and the third year was as an intern. I earned my Master's in Clinical Psychology from Capella University. My overall approach is client-centered to ensure I am prioritizing your individual needs and goals! My approach When it comes to different therapeutic approaches, my most common ones include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness, Exposure Therapy, and Hypnotherapy. My focus I love working with a wide range of populations. The conditions I feel most comfortable treating include PTSD/trauma, anxiety, depression, OCD, eating disorders, negative body image, low self-esteem, self-harming behaviors, grief/loss, and interpersonal relationship issues. My communication style The main goal when working with a client is to create a safe environment where someone feels understood, validated, and listened to. I like to believe that when clients are in session, they feel relieved and guided toward reasonable solutions. My goals for you When goal setting, I collaborate with clients to get their perspective on what brings them to counseling. Once this is understood, I assist them in developing SMART goals that will be reviewed frequently. It is common for me to review treatment plans with clients and engage in treatment reviews as sessions continue. My first session with you During the first session, clients should expect me to gather their history, which may include topics like medical, mental health, family, relationship, school, and career. I attempt to end my session on the topic of goals so I can then develop a treatment plan for moving forward.
