Shanita Burch, LCSW-C

Shanita Burch is a Licensed Certified Social Worker (LCSW-C) practicing in Maryland with 22 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, relationship and family concerns, and life changes. Shanita also lists blended family issues among her focus areas and helps people facing care-related strain, codependency, and communication problems.

She favors a practical, goal-oriented approach that looks at how problems show up in daily life. Sessions are conversational and focus on what a person wants to change. Shanita uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused work to identify patterns and try small, manageable changes.

Motivational interviewing and client-centered methods are part of how she supports people who are dealing with addiction, ambivalence about change, or low motivation. Psychodynamic ideas inform how she notices long-term patterns and recurring relationship themes.

Shanita has worked across settings that included adults, seniors, service members, veterans, and people coping with grief or substance use. That background shapes how she sees practical barriers and everyday pressures that interfere with progress.

People who choose her typically want clear steps and talk-based work rather than heavy paperwork or long assessments. She encourages realistic goals and small wins. To start, readers should confirm current session formats and then follow the site steps to schedule a first appointment.
