Really great

Reviewed June 2024

Alesia is the perfect for me! She’s so sweet, funny, thoughtful, asks me questions that really make me think and reflect about myself, gives me practical steps/goals, and feels like she really cares and listens. As a believer in Christ she also is helping heal my relationship with the Lord and putting him back in the center of my life, but she would be great for anyone. 10/10!

More about Alesia

  • 15 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

I am a professional counselor licensed in Pennsylvania. My counseling experience has been in a general practice with relationship, mood, parenting, and communication struggles and also in a practice dedicated to working with adults dealing with sexual addiction, pornography addiction, and relationship issues with roots in sexual abuse. I have also counseled teenage boys in a residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility.

I did not start out with a career in counseling. I have a degree in industrial engineering from Georgia Tech. I married another engineer, worked a little while, raised children, and when they were in the process of leaving the home, I decided to pursue counseling. I acquired my MA in Marriage and Family Counseling from Lancaster Bible College and have been counseling for over 10 years.

I believe that our past is not as important as the thoughts and decisions we make today. My approach embraces solution-focused therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and client centered therapy. I believe that everyone's life history has taught them valuable lessons. It is my honor and privilege to help my clients develop these lessons into functional, effective, and beneficial thoughts and behaviors.

About online counseling

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.

I know that I am in good hands with Alesia. She listens and provides feedback that is always helpful. It is also very apparent that she has years of experience and knows that there is no “one size fits all” solution to everything.

After only 2 "sessions" and some messages, Alesia has proven that my concerns (and what I need) are her priority. It is clear that she is focused on keeping me on track and making sure I'm getting the most out of betterhelp. I look forward to her input and feel comfortable sharing things with her.
