Ms Cheryl Caplan-Zalis

Licensed Clinical Social Workers

“I am a seasoned therapist who provides a direct approach. I will help create a solution to ones challenges.”

About Me

As a seasoned Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-C, LCADC), I offer a direct, collaborative approach to your challenges. We will work together to clearly identify obstacles and build tangible solutions. My aim is to equip you with practical tools, helping you navigate difficulties effectively. If you are seeking straightforward support to move past current struggles, I can help you discover a clear path forward.

Approach

Expect focused sessions where I pinpoint obstacles and guide you in testing concrete strategies that fit your daily life. In my Baltimore office, using English, sessions move at a steady, practical pace—short-term skill-building, honest feedback, and occasional involvement of family or partners when useful. Between meetings I assign simple exercises and tracking to make change measurable and sustainable. People facing addiction, anxiety, parenting challenges or major transitions often find this hands-on, results-oriented way of working useful.
