About
Hi there!! My name is Ayesha Thomas and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Georgia. The name of my practice is ""Purpose Driven Counseling, LLC"". I have over four years of counseling individuals from various backgrounds. My experience includes working with potential clients in various settings (home, religious settings, community, and academic environments). I further have experience working with those that are in crisis or who are diagnosed with Depression, Bipolar etc. My nonjudgmental and accepting personality allows for the foundation for an effective therapeutic relationship. Working with me means overcoming and powering through challenges in life by discovering healthier coping mechanisms and thought processes. Additional Experience: Stress, Anxiety, Addictions, Trauma and abuse, Grief, Intimacy-related issues, Anger management, Career difficulties, bipolar disorder, coping with life changes, Coaching, ADHD, Abandonment, Attachment Issues, R Clinical approaches: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing Online counseling is fairly new and I've found it to be really effective for various issues. My counseling style is pretty laid back. I have been described as supportive, encouraging, caring and compassionate with a good sense of humor. I like to focus on identifying your strengths and helping you to maximize them to overcome your obstacles. I'm here to assist you in sorting through the things that are most difficult for you. I allow a safe place to be open and honest without fear of judgement. I am happy that you have decided to take the first step by reaching out for help.
