About me
I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in Ohio with over 20 years of experience. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, parenting problems, behavioral concerns, those on the autism spectrum ,ODD and ADHD. I also have experienced working with physical trauma or emotional abuse.
My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, person-centered, motivational interviewing, and EMDR. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Desirae Thompson. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
I have been to over 5 counselors in my 20 years of life and Desirae is the ONLY one who has actually helped me without dwelling on issues and only talking about medication. She helps me think through certain issues and events and we come up with solutions together. She truly cares about the people she councels. I cannot thank her enough for the insane amount of help that she has given me the past 2.5 months. I don't think she even realizes how much she's helped me already. She treats me and acts like an actual human being unlike many counselors I've seen. I don't want to see anyone else, she has been an actual GODSEND.

I have only talked with Desirae a few times now but I feel very comfortable with her. I start my sessions with her feeling very upset and end them with a lot more clarity in my situation. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is struggling with depression.
