She works with people experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and many issues related to family, intimacy, parenting, anger, and self-esteem. Her practice also addresses concerns such as abandonment, communication problems, family-of-origin issues, and difficulties common to young adults and first responders.

Desiree approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and she shapes conversations and treatment plans to fit the distinct needs of each client. She emphasizes practical coping strategies alongside deeper exploration of life purpose, guilt and shame, and recovery after sexual assault or other traumatic events. Taking the first step toward a more fulfilling life can feel daunting, and she offers steady support through that process while collaborating with clients to set goals and track progress.

As an LCMHC - a licensed clinical mental health counselor - Desiree combines evidence-based techniques with a person-centered attitude to help clients navigate life changes, rebuild self-love, and strengthen relationships over time.

Evidence-informed approaches for online therapy

Desiree uses practical, evidence-based approaches tailored to the concerns people bring to therapy. For stress and anxiety she emphasizes skills-based strategies that help calm the body and manage overwhelming thoughts - these teach concrete tools clients can use between sessions to reduce reactivity and improve daily functioning. For trauma and abuse she employs trauma-informed methods focused on safety, stabilization, and gradual processing, helping clients build tolerance for difficult memories while strengthening coping resources. She also incorporates family- and communication-focused work when relationship dynamics, parenting, or family-of-origin issues are central to a client's goals, helping people repair patterns and improve connection.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is part of the work, and Desiree collaborates with each person to determine what fits best given their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts strategies over time and invites feedback so the plan remains responsive and relevant.

Online therapy with Desiree can occur by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexible options to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home or another convenient location, and integrate therapeutic tools into everyday life.
