She works with concerns such as bipolar mood changes, grief, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem, ADHD, and career or life transitions. Her approach is practical and collaborative.
Sessions aim to identify immediate needs and set clear, manageable goals. Desiree mixes techniques to keep sessions active and focused on what matters most to each person.
Background and approach
She draws on acceptance and commitment ideas to help people notice difficult thoughts and still move toward their values. Cognitive behavioral strategies are used to spot unhelpful thinking and build new habits. Emotionally focused and Gottman-informed work guide conversations about attachment and communication in close relationships.
Desiree trained and practices as a licensed professional counselor - LPC - and has about four years of clinical experience in Texas. That experience includes working with people who have a range of psychiatric diagnoses and life situations. People who choose her often want a therapist who is direct, warm, and interactive.
Sessions are built around small, achievable steps so progress feels concrete. She encourages anyone who is ready to try therapy to take the next step and begin a short matching process to get started.
Approaches that translate well to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can help when anxiety, depression, or life transitions make it hard to move forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce distress and build healthier habits. It is useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at attachment and emotional patterns in close relationships and supports clearer communication and stronger bonds when relationship stress is present.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work together with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change as progress is made, so sessions stay tailored and relevant.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people use face-to-face interaction when they want it. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins, ongoing reflection, and support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping the focus on making steady progress.
