Dr. Jerome Anderson, LCSW, LICSW

Dr. Jerome Anderson is a licensed clinical social worker who brings 24 years of practice to his work. He holds LCSW and LICSW credentials and practices in Maryland. He focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship problems, grief, and trauma and abuse concerns.

He uses clear, practical methods in sessions. He draws on client-centered approaches to follow each person's priorities. He also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors that make daily life easier.

Dr. Anderson's background includes roles in behavioral health for the U.S. Air Force and clinical leadership in correctional settings. Those roles shaped his experience assessing complex situations and setting realistic goals with people facing severe or persistent mental health challenges.

In a typical session he listens carefully, helps set short-term goals, and works with clients on skills they can use between meetings. He applies mindfulness and solution-focused ideas to help people manage stress and cope with life changes.

People who choose him often want focused problem-solving alongside space to talk through feelings. He also offers coaching-style support for career and life transition issues. International clients may be accepted, and sessions are conducted in English.

How his approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's priorities. In practice this means sessions begin by asking what matters most and shaping the plan around those goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and then tests small changes to see if they help. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep, and stress management.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will work with clients to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. That might mean starting with client-centered conversations, adding CBT skill practice, and using mindfulness techniques between meetings as needed.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the exact session options before booking since formats are not listed in the biography. Many people find online sessions easier for fitting care into a busy week, keeping regular appointments during life transitions, and making shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Online work can support the same goal-setting, skill practice, and problem-solving used in person, with the therapist guiding how to adapt exercises for remote sessions.
