I am a licensed professional counselor in Texas with 3 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with coping with addictions, relationship issues, family conflicts, & coping with grief and loss. I have been described as supportive, caring, easy to talk to, and down to earth. I am naturally solution oriented so I use a strength based approach to help clients over come their obstacles. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.

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.

Better help and my therapist have been a game changer. Easy, accessible, and helpful.
Desireah always knows how to put things in perspective. She doesn’t judge me and I feel very comfortable opening up to her. I’ve made huge progress in my emotional and mental health from working with her. I can’t thank her enough because that growth is priceless. Highly recommend!
Desireah listens attentively and reminds me of the tools that i have in front of me and helps me understand how to navigate many circumstances in life. I would highly recommend her. Having a therapist that reminds us that we are indeed in power is wonderful.
Desireah is kind, compassionate, clear and offers strong support and advice around very complex issues. She has been so helpful to me almost immediately.
