Ju Liu, LCSW-C
Clinical Social Worker licensed in Maryland and Virginia
Are you experiencing anxiety symptoms like panic attacks, social anxiety, excessive worry and/or sleep issues? Do you experience low energy, low self-esteem, negative thinking, hopelessness and/or helplessness? Do you struggle with relationship difficulties in areas of marital, family, peer and/or other significant relationships? Or are you seeking support in overcoming and working through major life transitions?
My approach is tailored to each individual, however, I primarily incorporate ISTDP (Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy) in my work. ISTDP is an evidence-based approach that seeks to bring about rapid symptom reduction by focusing on goal setting, experiential processing and clarification of emotions with the feedback and insight of the therapist. Through this process, you may come to recognize the coping patterns and roadblocks that maintain your difficulties as you learn to live more freely.
