More about Thomes
- 4 years' experience

- LPC, LPCC
As a licensed therapist practicing across Alabama, Texas, and Ohio, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My approach centers on understanding each person's unique journey, with a deep commitment to addressing challenges like depression, anxiety, relationship dynamics, and self-esteem.
I bring a compassionate, culturally responsive perspective to therapy, particularly focusing on women's experiences, young adult transitions, and multicultural concerns. My practice honors diverse lived experiences, creating a supportive environment where clients can explore personal growth, heal from past challenges, and develop meaningful strategies for emotional well-being.
My therapeutic work encompasses a wide range of focus areas, including communication challenges, social anxiety, life purpose exploration, and support through significant transitions like pregnancy, divorce, and personal transformation. I'm dedicated to helping clients build resilience, cultivate self-love, and develop healthier interpersonal connections.

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.
