More about Wanetta

  • 16 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

Thank you for seeking counseling for yourself. I look forward to getting to know you and working with you in a professional capacity. Please note: BetterHelp is not technically regulated by HIPPA because they are not a covered entity under the statute.

I have been a licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Colorado for 16 years. I am only available to work with clients who reside in the state of Colorado per my licensing board DORA. Per client request and availability ~sessions are 45 minutes in length. If you need to cancel please make ever effort to do so 24 hours in advance. This allows others to possibly use this time slot for their sessions if you can't attend your session. Typically, clients who meet weekly on a regular basis are able to work on therapeutic goals. Please note, due to weather the internet may not be available, when this happens, I ask that you reschedule your appointment and I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you. If you are in a crisis, please go to the nearest ER, and or use the hotline numbers listed on the BetterHelp website.

My counseling approaches utilize several counseling theories that are customized to meet your needs. I believe that by treating each client with respect, honor, sensitivity and compassion a working therapeutic alliance can be formed as we interact with one another.

I believe and honor the courage you are using to seek a more satisfying and happier life. You have taken the first steps towards change and if you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.

Kindly,

Nita (Wanetta) Hughes-Bise PhD, LPC

About online counseling

Affordable.

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.

Dr. Hughes Bise has given me some concrete tools to help me with some of my issues in communication that have been really helpful so far. She's a great listener and I feel like she reaches out frequently to see how I'm doing. I feel heard and helped.

I would highly recommend Dr Hughes Bise for her expertise and her ability to make sure my counseling needs were well met. She actually listens and has helped me overcome several issues. She is definitely a 5 star therapist and I'm grateful I've had the opportunity to work with her!

Reviewed February 2019

I so appreciated the fact that Dr. Hughes Bise met me where I was and addressed the problem I was having, rather than me having to explain my lifestyle to her and defend the parts that I already accept. That kind of respect and acceptance was why I sought out a counselor through PRIDE, rather than chance it with a "general" counseling site.

Dr. Hughes Bise is knowledgeable, kind and personable. She offers sound advice, teaches different ways to view and approach different situations, practice self-love as well as self-care in order to be better equipped to deal with life and difficult situations.

Reviewed July 2020

Dr. Hughes has been an incredibly patient, calm, and wise counselor throughout our six months working together. She has the ability to simplify what I deem to be a set of very complex and overwhelming emotions first by naming, explaining, and then giving me the tools to find peace. In addition, Nita has been very flexible with my nomadic lifestyle the past four months. We have rescheduled multiple times because I am unexpectedly (although now expectedly because it is so frequent), out of service. Nita has not only understood my crazy lifestyle, but works with me to ensure I keep up with counseling. I so appreciate it Nita, thank you!

I have enjoyed the conversations with Nita and I’m always excited on the days of our session. She’s helped me develop boldness in tackling life’s issues, having uncomfortable conversations and always choosing to think that is conducive to happiness, even in unhappy and confusing circumstances. I instantly felt comfortable having these tough conversations with her that I have never had before outside of my mind. I have better emotional intelligence from this experience with Nita. I shared with Nita that I love the fact that for one hour a week, I can say the wildest things that I’ve held back for so long and there’s no repercussions, judgement or the other persons feelings hurt. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed this experience and one of the smartest things I’ve ever done for myself. My soul and mind is going to thank me for this in the number of years to come. I’ve also taken big practical steps in fixing my issues thanks to Nita’s one advice that could change my life literally. Nita has given me Hope that I’ll be okay. Thank you Nita and thank you BetterHelp!!!!
