Thank you for joining Better Help! My name is Lacresha Reid White and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have 3+ years of clinical practice with providing therapy. However, I have worked in the mental health field for quite some time. I have worked with a variety of populations, including young adult to late adults. In previous years, I have worked and advocated for more support and resources for aged out foster youth. My passion is helping others to achieve their goals and overcome obstacles. At least once a week, I facilitate a group at a local homeless shelter providing encouragement, insight, and support.
My technique or style for therapy is based on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution Focused Therapy theoretical framework. I would love to provide you with more information and increase your insight regarding how these models will be effective in treatment. I have experience with severe and persistent disorders, including Bipolar Disorder, Schizophrenia and other forms, Major Depressive Disorders, Post Traumatic Stress, and Anxiety -- just to name a few.
Should you feel in need of urgent help or that you are in crisis at any time during our work together; please call 1-800-273-TALK 24 hours a day; or 911. This forum does not provide any type of emergency services, so I want to be sure you know who to contact if you need immediate help.
Reach out for help is the first step. The next step is developing a trusting therapeutic relationship to work through presenting goals. The goal is to improve skills and ability to function.
I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
