I have held a psychotherapist license for 12 years of professional work experience. I obtained my undergraduate and graduate degree in Louisiana. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, & depression. I also have experience working with coping with life changes. To include working with people transitioning and having difficulty fitting in and adapting to the way society views them. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment.
Everyone is different and they individual treatment approaches. What I have used for different people is psychoeducation, DBT, CBT, CPT, In vivo exposure therapy, trauma work, person centered, shadow work, inner child, and more. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!

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.

I really appreciate Desa’s care and guidance. She is very knowledgeable and gives great advice. She’s is easy to talk to and really cares about her clients.
I’m so thrilled to have met Desa. After a couple of absolutely horrible experiences I swore off therapy to help me with me issues. I decided to give Better Help a try ( I was really hitting rock bottom) and I am astounded at the change I feel already. Desa has such an ease about her that makes me feel like I’m just talking with a friend. Couple her easy going nature with her insights, knowledge, understanding and professionalism Desa has opened up a new world of “better” for me to forge ahead in, that I didn’t think was possible.
Ms. Desa is so patient with me and she “gets me”. I feel comfortable meeting with her and letting her into my world. She values my opinions and encourages me to provide feedback regarding her suggestions and strategies. I couldn’t of asked for a better therapist.
Radesa is great! She: truly listens to what I have to say with her undivided attention, doesnt have a drop of judgement for me, nor does she cut me off or offer unrealistic/off-topic solutions which can be the case w other therapists! She is the truth, I’m really looking forward to this continued clarity in life from future sessions, Thank you so much Radesa!
I’m really enjoying working with Desa! I feel like she really listens to me and has a lot of compassion for the things I say. she offers helpful takes on things and helpful ways of working through things!
