Worsham El, LCSW

Worsham El is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who supports adults navigating stress, anxiety, trauma, burnout, and major life transitions. With a trauma-informed and culturally responsive style informed by clinical experience and real-world understanding, she creates a space where clients can slow down, notice how their bodies respond, and begin to make sense of long-held patterns.

Her work centers on building safety, improving emotional regulation, and helping clients reconnect with their body’s capacity for resilience at a pace that respects their lived experience. She blends traditional talk therapy with somatic and mindfulness-based practices to reduce overwhelm, increase clarity, and encourage sustainable change. Therapy emphasizes practical, everyday tools that clients can use outside of sessions to manage stress, set boundaries, and process persistent experiences.

Worsham El approaches healing as a collaborative journey rather than a task of fixing. She offers guidance, information, structure, and compassion while helping clients explore attachment, abandonment, codependency, dissociation, family-of-origin concerns, and other relational or mood-related issues. Her goal is to walk alongside clients as they develop greater ease, balance, and self-trust rather than asking them to carry everything alone.

Trauma-informed and Somatic Approaches for Online Care

Worsham El uses trauma-informed care to guide sessions, centering safety and pacing to help clients who have experienced complex stress or past hurt. This approach focuses on understanding how trauma shows up in thoughts, emotions, and the body and on building strategies to reduce reactivity and increase regulation.

She also integrates somatic techniques that pay attention to bodily sensations and gentle movement or breathing practices to help reduce overwhelm and support emotional grounding. Mindfulness-based practices are woven into therapy to strengthen present-moment awareness and to improve clarity when stress feels constant.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is made collaboratively. Worsham El works with each person to determine which techniques best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting pace and methods as healing unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - so clients can access support from home or during busy schedules. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit sessions into daily life, and practice tools between meetings with licensed professionals and therapists.
