Hello! My name is Willie Mae Godfrey and I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker with over two decades of experience working in the mental health field. Throughout my career working within various specialties, I have a track record for being empathic, caring, understanding, and experienced with working with children, adolescents, and adults. My approach as a therapist is integrative, solutions-focused, humanistic, cognitive, psychodynamic, behavioral and practical. I am dedicated to helping others find positive solutions to their problems. I am committed to helping my clients improve various aspects of their lives to live their best life yet. You can live a life without limits as you reduce stress, gain focus and clarity, and improve your overall state of being. I believe that with the right support, anyone can overcome their problems and negative experiences. I also believe that communication is a vital part of our ability to overcome difficulties. My experiences include providing quality services for adults, children, couples as well as families on a wide range of areas including depression, anxiety, behavioral issues, relationships, communication, self-esteem, school/career issues, anger management, trauma/emotional abuse, stress management, parenting and life transitions.
My counseling style is warm and welcoming while giving respect to each individual’s need. Additionally, I am nonjudgmental, sensitive to your needs, compassionate, respectful, supportive and ready to help you to live their best life yet. Remember, the first step in finding this balance is with you! If you are ready to take that step and I am here to help you!

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Willie Mae Godfrey has been an amazing counselor and pillar of support as I've gone through some tough times. I always feel like I can turn to her with any problem I am facing and she helps me talk through it and find ways to overcome it.
I really like Willie and want to write. good review for her- but may I write it after my 4th session? Thanks
Willie is a wonderful listener that I can ask for. She is funny, super professional of the what she handled my situation and give out so many advices. Absolutely recommended her !!!!
She has been a great help to me. I have had bad experiences with counseling so I was skeptical when coming back to try it. She sends me messages to check on me, gives me worksheets to help. Teaches me how to cope with some of the issues I am dealing with and teaches me to stop being so negative about myself!!!
Willie Mae is fantastic! Could not ask for a more supportive, experienced and professional counsellor! I had another counsellor and their style was not really working for me, was going to cancel my membership but decided to try a different person first and I am so happy I did!
She is great! I feel like she has good insight and is empathetic.
Willie Mae understood me right away. She said things that I was thinking, but would never say out loud, but she assured me my feelings were okay to have. She’s helping me get through a very difficult time.
Willie Mae is very knowledgeable and down to earth. She has been helpful so far.
