Social Worker Online

Hello, my name is Darlene Albury I am an Online Social Worker. I live in Queens, NY. My time away from work is basically spent with my husband, children, grand-children and sisters. I have a very close knit family and often come together on weekends and holidays. With time on my hands through the day I felt this was a perfect opportunity for me to become an Online Social Worker through this sight to help others.

I earned my Bachelors Degree in 1996 specializing in Human Services and counseling, and my Masters Degree in Clinical Social Work in 1999. I have been licensed since 1999 in the State of New York, and now working as an Online Social Worker. I spent my career working with Families and Children affected by substance abuse, Veterans who suffer with substance abuse and PTSD. Counseling parents whose children were remove from their homes because of substance abuse and neglect. I functioned as a liaison for parents in Family Court working towards getting their families returned to their care and entering into substance abuse treatment and counseling. Families I worked with dealt with the issues mentioned above as well as sexual abuse from early childhood to similar situations happening with their own children. I help with issues of parenting, entering into long term and short term treatment, family reunification, housing, court advocate and individual and family counseling. I also functioned as a liaison for and between the foster parents and biological parents. I assisted parents entering back into society for work placement or returning to school to further their education, parenting skills and treatment for their children.

Behavior modification is the basis of my work meeting the client were they are at. I like taking a psychosocial approach to counseling. According to Erickson, human life as the individual experiences it is produced by the interaction and modification of three major systems the biological system, the psychological system, and the societal system. I worked hard to improve the lives of my clients and help them confront and resolve their personal dilemmas and cope with loss and changes. I considered myself to be a skilled professional who helps people help themselves, by providing useful information and a wide range of resources available for those in need. This requires me to have access to cutting-edge ideas, current information, and high quality resources.
