- LCSW
I am licensed Clinical Social Worker in Mississippi with 14 years of professional work experience. I have worked with individuals, couples, families, and various groups to include active duty military and Veterans. Most of my career has been spent in mental health helping clients manage Depression, Anxiety, Bipolar, Addiction, and Post-traumatic stress disorder. I have helped clients address communication issues, interpersonal concerns, anger management, career challenges, infidelity, childhood traumas, and physical and emotional abuse.
I treat everyone with respect and compassion. I am an interactive counselor. My goal is to get the best understanding of who you are and the challenges you are facing in order to best help you address and overcome those challenges. My therapy style combines cognitive-behavioral, prolonged exposure, psychodynamic, solution focused, and rational emotive therapy. Together, we will develop goals and a treatment plan tailored to your specific and unique needs.
It takes courage to reach out and ask for help. I commend your strength. I am here to assist, support, and empower you. I am excited about the progress we will make and look forward to working with you.

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.

Fameika is great!
Fameika listens to me yet is so great at keeping the conversation and selecting activities which are relevant to each individual session and mood. She is knowledgeable, validates my feelings and emotions yet me on a positive track to process trauma which took several years to evolve.
very helpful and exceeded expecttions.
Very helpful
After a couple of sessions Fameika has an understanding of where I am today and where I have been for a while. She helps me work through my doubts and hesitations while listening to my concerns without letting me dwell on unnecessary feelings. She helps me stay positively focused and encourages me to dive into new ways of relating to the world around me. Helps me resume the personal growth I had put on hold for a long time. Thanks!
