⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Miesha Penn is truly one of a kind. She is so real, down-to-heart and down-to-earth, and genuinely invested in her clients. She respects my feelings while also being quick to give me the honest truth I need to hear. She holds me accountable when I try to take on too much and constantly reminds me of the importance of caring for myself first. What makes her stand out are the thoughtful touches—the homework, the surprise check-ins, the encouraging voice memos and messages. Hearing “I’m invested in you” means everything when you’re feeling deflated, and she makes sure you never feel alone in the process. I wish everyone had a Miesha Penn in their corner. She is a blessing, and I am proud of the way she continues to give her all to her clients, even when the world is pressing on her too. I admire how she always remembers to give herself the same care she so generously gives to others. If you’re looking for a therapist who is real, compassionate, and fully committed to your growth, Miesha is it.

I appreciate her commitment to helping me with my challenges.

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!

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
