More about me

Licensing: Ph.D., LPC, NCC Years in Practice: 29 State: Georgia

My purpose is to assist you in maintaining a joyful, healthy, and productive lifestyle by introducing and sharing strategies that promote a mindfulness attitude, rational behavior, responsible choices, and fulfilling relationships. I embrace an all-inclusive paradigm, and an eclectic theoretical approach via Client-Centered, Mindfulness, and Solution-Focused Therapies. I believe that all persons deserve to be served and treated in a respectful, dignified manner; in a safe and compassionate environment.

I have had the fortune of serving children, adolescents, adults, and older adults over a 29 year span in Georgia. Depression, anxiety, caregiving, anger management, and LGBTQ challenges are some of the areas that I have explored with clients. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, National Certified Counselor, and Board Certified Coach.

I earned my BS degree in Industrial Engineering Technology from Southern Polytechnic State University, MA degree in Counseling and Human Development from Clark Atlanta University, and Ph.D. degree in Counseling and Psychological Services from Clark Atlanta University. I also earned a MA degree in Biblical Studies from Newburgh Theological Seminary And College Of The Bible.

Your interest and time in reviewing my profile is sincerely appreciated. Be good to yourself, LAUGH, and have a wonderful life journey!

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online 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.

Overall

Dr. Anderson has provided me a judgement-free space to discuss the mental and physical health issues that I have been struggling with. She is kind, supportive, understanding but most of all she listens to what I am saying. She gives me space to discuss what I am feeling and what I have experienced but also gives me the opportunity to think about how I am feeling and what that means.

We've only had a few sessions together so far, but I feel like she really understands me and my needs, and she's very easy to talk to and we have a great time cutting up in our sessions.
