Ledrea Taylor is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with clinical experience providing individual therapy, couples counseling, and family therapy to clients throughout Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, DC. She offers telehealth sessions across all three jurisdictions and works with teens, adults, couples, and families.

Ledrea works best with women who have spent years being the person everyone else leans on. Women who perform at work, manage everything at home, hold back what they actually feel in relationships, and somewhere along the way stopped asking what they need. Many of her clients are women of color who are done being “the strong one” and are finally ready to address their own anxiety, trauma, emotional exhaustion, and relationship patterns that keep them stuck. Ledrea brings warmth, directness, and cultural awareness to every session. Her clients stay because they do not have to code-switch, over-explain, or shrink themselves to be understood in her space.

Her clinical approach is grounded in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) and integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), EMDR, somatic techniques, and motivational interviewing. She is collaborative and goal-oriented from the first session. She does not do passive therapy. She helps clients get to the root of what is keeping them stuck, build stronger emotional awareness, develop healthier coping strategies, and make practical changes that last beyond the therapy room.

Ledrea also specializes in couples and family therapy. She helps partners break out of repetitive conflict cycles, rebuild trust, and communicate without defensiveness. For families, she focuses on restoring connection and addressing dynamics that have created distance or tension over time.

Her background includes more than two decades working with military populations and their families, supporting service members through the unique pressures of military life, deployment, and reintegration.

Whether you are a woman looking for a therapist who actually gets it, a couple trying to find your way back to each other, or a family working through conflict, Ledrea has the experience, honesty, and clinical skill to help you move forward. She offers evening appointments, accepts most major insurance plans, and is currently welcoming new clients.
