More about Miesha

3 years' experience
Female
LPC

I am licensed in Virginia with 3 years of experience with outpatient therapy and over 10 years with mental health. I have experience in helping clients with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, anger management, motivation, self esteem, & confidence. I also have experience working with depression. I believe each person has unique traits and individual needs; so, no therapy session can be replicated. Individualized support is provided to meet each client’s multifaceted needs. We will work together using various theories and techniques to help you reach your goals as you learn more about yourself. I currently do not operate from just one single theoretical approach and will borrow interventions from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Person Centered Therapy, and some Humanistic approaches. I believe that our thoughts influence our behaviors and each person is unique. I also believe that everything a person requires is already within them!

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.
