01About Desirea

Desirea Russell greets people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to turn. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who aims to make therapy straightforward and practical. Her style is direct and caring, and she focuses on clear steps clients can take to feel better.

Her work centers on common struggles like stress, anxiety, depression, mood challenges, and addiction. She also helps with relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting stress, workplace issues, and career questions.

Background and approach

People come to her for help with grief, trauma and abuse, ADHD, and self-esteem struggles. Desirea uses approaches that put the person’s goals first. She draws on client-centered care, cognitive behavioral techniques, solution-focused strategies, and trauma-focused methods to shape sessions.

That means conversations are guided by what matters most to the client, with practical tools to try between meetings. She has seven years of experience as an LPC and has worked in mental health settings since 2007. That background includes supporting people with personality and mood disorders, co-occurring concerns, and vocational or career questions.

She is comfortable addressing multicultural and financial stressors alongside clinical issues. Sessions are offered in English and are available to international clients. The practice aims to meet people where they are and build manageable plans for change.

04Online support

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client’s priorities. In practice this means the therapist reflects concerns back, asks what matters most, and helps people set their own goals; it works well for relationship strain, life transitions, and self-esteem work.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. It uses short exercises and homework to reduce anxiety, depression, and mood symptoms by changing thinking patterns and actions.

Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes small, practical steps and what is already working. Sessions often include concrete goal-setting and brief strategies clients can test between meetings, which can speed progress for career, workplace, or coping-with-change issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose or blend methods based on needs, goals, and preferences. Together they review what helps and adjust the plan as therapy progresses.

Online therapy offers flexibility and practical benefits. Video calls let people see body language and build rapport. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat or text-based messaging supports quick check-ins, brief coaching, or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent when life is busy.
