More about Benita

  • 20 years' experience
  • Female
  • LMSW

With over 20 years of clinical experience, I’m dedicated to creating a space where you feel safe, valued, and genuinely listened to—a place where you can speak freely, explore openly, and be yourself without fear of judgment. I offer a calm environment where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences at your own pace. Whether you're navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, or major life changes, I understand how isolating it can feel—especially when it seems like no one is really listening.

My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in evidence-based practices—combined with authenticity and genuine care. I believe therapy is a partnership: You know yourself better than anyone—I’m here to walk beside you, listen deeply, help make sense of what’s weighing on you, and support your journey toward healing, clarity, and feeling more like yourself again.

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.
