Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started! When working with clients I strive to make the therapy experience respectful, safe, and genuine. I believe that individuals are the expert of their stories and that they have many strengths that will assist them in overcoming things that challenge them.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Fairbanks , Alaska with 7 plus years of experience working with people making a change in their life. I have worked with individuals challenged by depression, anxiety, anger issue, abuse, and life-changing situations. I have worked in several clinical settings including community mental health, hospitals, school, and prisons. I have experience in counseling couples, adolescents, and adults, and facilitating groups. My approach is strengths-based, solution-focused, client-centered, motivational interview, and cognitive-behavioral theory.

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.

Isatu Sidibe is an amazing therapist! She has given me several tools to cope with depression and anxiety as well as support along my healing journey/learning to stand up for myself. I highly recommend working with her!
She's awesome! And really listens and gives you a lot to think about
Isatu is always understating and supportive when I talk with her. She helps me gain perspective and refocuses me on my goals by helping find ways to reinforce better habits. She makes me feel comfortable and safe when I talk with her. I also love that she checks in on me even when I don’t have an appointment scheduled or we just talked recently. Extremely happy that she is the therapist I got paired with through BetterHelp.
She is awesome and continues to help me though my roughest times!
I haven’t been paired with Isatu long, but she is always thorough with her responses and explanations. From day one she has been incredibly helpful with sifting through my mental/emotional struggles and providing relevant suggestions for strategizing. I look forward to continuing to learn more about my thought process with Isatu.
Isatu is compassionate, persistent, wise, and practical. I have written down many of her insights and have re-read them over and over again. She has advocated for me and has helped me find my voice. I hear from her most days--usually through her outreach. Her gentle guidance has helped me navigate through a very challenging situation with grace.
