More about Kierra

  • 5 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

Hey there,

I am a licensed professional counselor in the state of New Jersey with over 5 years experience working with various populations. I have worked in acute, chronic psychiatric mental health facilities, substance use, in home therapy with families and eating disorder treatment facility. I have worked with various clients on managing depression, anxiety, relational issues, parenting issues and abuse to name a few.

My counseling approach is very much relational and warm but direct in communication style. I believe that we all have concerns and should not be judged, therefore treat all my clients with compassion and general human regard. Just because I am a professional does not mean I am above you or "know it all" we will work together!

If you are reading this regardless of if you sign up with myself, someone else or just are not ready yet, I am proud of you for taking the step and seeking mental health treatment and the possibilities it may offer you!

Lets normalize seeking mental help!

Hope to meet with you soon!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
