About
Worsham El is an LCSW based in Illinois with 14 years of clinical practice supporting adults facing persistent stress, anxiety, trauma, and life transitions.

Therapy is collaborative and practical, centered on tools clients can use between sessions. Worsham assists people in setting boundaries, processing long-held experiences, and developing greater self-trust and balance.

Remote therapeutic options
Worsham integrates trauma-informed and culturally responsive principles into online care, creating a remote setting that attends to past experiences and present-day stressors. Her approach pairs conversational therapy with somatic and mindfulness-based exercises adapted for virtual formats so that attention to body-based responses can continue outside of in-person encounters.
Somatic practices focus on noticing physical sensations and gentle regulation strategies, while mindfulness-based work helps increase present-moment awareness and reduce overwhelm. Talk therapy is used alongside these practices to process memories, explore patterns such as attachment or codependency, and build concrete skills for daily life.
She collaborates with people who want practical tools, a paced process, and support in applying strategies between sessions. Worsham offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different communication preferences and needs.
