More about Ula

  • 10 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

Hi, my name is Ula and I am a licensed professional counselor in the state of Michigan. I would describe myself as easy-going and down-to-earth with a good sense of humor. My mission is to help others experience being seen, heard, and understood. In doing this, I hope to empower individuals to find ways to grow to their full potential.

In order to provide therapy to others, I attended Siena Heights University to earn a master's degree in community counseling. For about seven years, I have been working with individuals and families with a variety of challenges such as family conflict, trauma, depression and anxiety, stress-related issues, communication challenges, self-esteem, and much more. I utilize an eclectic approach to counseling to meet the unique needs of individuals that support them to work on their mental health goals. These evidence based approaches include Mindfulness-Based Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

I truly look forward to helping you!

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.

I have trauma based issues starting in childhood that Ula has done an excellent job addressing. I'm able to process this trauma and move forward with my life, which is exactly what I was hoping for. I highly recommend Ula if you are dealing with trauma and have specific goals in mind.

Reviewed November 2021

Ula has been such a great support for me over the last 6 months. I have been able to work through some difficult trauma that has surfaced, as well as trauma I have experienced from my job. She always listens to my concerns and challenges me to look at my reactions/behaviors to certain situations. She’s a wonderful therapist! The best one I’ve worked with!
