The Difference Between a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a Therapist – Margery Tannenbaum

Description

When seeking mental health support, you may wonder about the difference between a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a traditional therapist. At Margery Tannenbaum, we recognize the importance of finding the right professional for your needs. While both LCSWs and therapists provide mental health counseling, LCSWs have additional training in social services, case management, and community resource coordination. This means that, in addition to therapy, our LCSWs can connect clients with external resources such as housing assistance, financial aid, or medical support to ensure holistic care. Our licensed clinical social workers specialize in treating mental health disorders, trauma, grief, and life transitions using therapy techniques such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and trauma-informed care. The comprehensive approach of an LCSW ensures that clients receive not only emotional support but also practical solutions to improve their overall well-being. If you’re unsure whether an LCSW is the right fit for you, Margery Tannenbaum is here to help you explore your options and find the best path to mental wellness.
