Welcome! Taking the step to seek therapy is an act of courage, and I commend you for being here.
My name is Desirre and I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I am dedicated to helping individuals navigate the challenges of stress and anxiety, relationships, self-esteem, motivation, career difficulties, and life changes. I understand that each person’s journey is unique, and I am here to provide a supportive and non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings.
In our work together, I utilize a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Mindfulness techniques to help you develop practical strategies for managing life’s challenges. My approach is collaborative, meaning we will work together to set goals and find solutions that align with your values and needs.
Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, facing a difficult life transition, or seeking to improve your relationships and self-esteem, I am here to support you. Therapy is a powerful tool for personal growth, and I am committed to helping you build the skills and resilience needed to create positive and lasting change in your life.
Remember, it takes strength to reach out, and by doing so, you are already taking the first step towards a healthier, more fulfilling life.
I look forward to working with you.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
