More about Carnesha

  • 9 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

As a licensed therapist with nearly a decade of experience, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on empowering clients through challenges related to depression, anxiety, relationship dynamics, and life transitions.

I bring a compassionate, culturally responsive approach to therapy, with a deep commitment to addressing multicultural concerns, workplace issues, and the unique experiences of young adults. My work focuses on helping clients explore self-love, communication skills, personal purpose, and healing from experiences of isolation, guilt, and shame.

Drawing from an intersectional perspective, I create a supportive space that honors diverse identities and experiences. I'm particularly passionate about supporting individuals working through prejudice, discrimination, relationship complexities, and personal growth challenges. My goal is to walk alongside you, offering guidance that respects your individual journey and empowers you to create meaningful change.

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.
