More about Desireah
- 4 years' experience

- LPC, LMHC
As a licensed therapist in Texas, I specialize in supporting individuals through complex life challenges with compassion and expertise. My practice centers on helping clients navigate relationship dynamics, personal growth, and emotional healing. I bring a deep understanding of issues like social anxiety, self-esteem, grief, and addiction, with a particular focus on women's experiences and multicultural perspectives.
My therapeutic approach is holistic and person-centered, drawing from evidence-based practices to support clients in developing self-love, improving communication, and finding meaningful life purpose. I'm committed to creating a supportive, non-judgmental space where individuals can explore their experiences, heal from past challenges, and develop stronger emotional resilience.
Whether you're struggling with workplace stress, relationship transitions, or personal growth, I'm dedicated to walking alongside you with empathy and professional guidance. My goal is to help you build authentic connections, overcome obstacles, and create positive, sustainable change in your life.

About online counseling

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.
