More about Althea

18 years' experience
Female
LMHC

I'm a therapist with nearly two decades of experience supporting individuals through life's most challenging moments. I work with clients navigating depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, grief, and mood disorders, bringing both clinical expertise and genuine compassion to our work together.

My approach is grounded in understanding the whole person—your faith, your values, and your unique life circumstances. I specialize in helping clients explore self-love, communication patterns, life purpose, and the deeper emotions like guilt, shame, and forgiveness. I'm also experienced in supporting those working through panic attacks, posttraumatic stress, attachment challenges, and financial concerns.

I believe therapy is a collaborative journey where you are the expert of your own story. My role is to create a safe, affirming space where you can heal, grow, and reconnect with your sense of purpose. Whether you're processing grief, rebuilding relationships, or finding your way forward, I'm here to walk alongside you with honesty, respect, and care.

Taking the first step toward therapy takes courage, and I'm honored to support you on your path to healing.

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.
