About Zauditu

Dr. Zauditu McCants is a licensed clinical social worker with two decades of practice supporting people through relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, mood disorders, anxiety, grief, and life transitions.

Background and approach

She brings experience addressing sleep difficulties, self-esteem and career concerns, bipolar disorder, parenting questions, and stress related to caregiving, midlife change, and financial pressures. Dr.

McCants frames care around respect, sensitivity, and compassion while adapting conversation and treatment to each person's needs. Her approach blends evidence-informed methods with a person-centered stance, helping clients translate insight into practical skills and daily changes.

She holds LICSW and LCSW credentials and draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy alongside client-centered techniques to help people manage symptoms, rebuild connection, and clarify goals. Dr.

McCants works from Georgia and offers a range of remote session options to accommodate different schedules and preferences. She aims to create a collaborative process in which clients take meaningful steps toward greater wellbeing.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Dr. McCants blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy into remote care that aims to be both practical and empathetic. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, and sleep problems, while offering clear strategies clients can practice between sessions. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening, respect, and collaboration so the therapeutic relationship itself becomes a source of understanding and change.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. She works with clients to determine whether CBT techniques, a client-centered stance, DBT skills, or a mix of methods best match a person's needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as therapy progresses.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access regular support, practice skills in everyday contexts, and maintain continuity of care when life or location makes in-person meetings difficult.
