About
As a counselor who has struggled with ADHD and social anxiety, I understand the impact that mental health can have on daily life.
Before earning my master’s degree in counseling education, I worked with autistic children in a clinical setting and teenagers in an inpatient setting. I primarily work with children and adolescents experiencing anger, anxiety, and depression, particularly those with ADHD or autism. I also have experience working with adults and families.
I believe in building a strong therapeutic relationship where clients feel comfortable enough for me to be honest, direct, and straightforward when needed. I draw from a variety of therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy, to meet each client where they are and tailor treatment to their individual needs.
I don’t just believe that people have the power to change—I know they do. I’ve seen it happen. When we work together toward a goal that is meaningful to you, I believe you can make lasting, meaningful change.

As a person who has experienced lots of loss, I can understand how feelings can be overwhelming and come in waves.
Hi my name is Desiree Shaw and I am a LPC. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology from Louisiana State University. I also earned a Master's Degree in Mental Health Counseling from University of Phoenix. I work with adult individuals who have experienced grief, loss, chronic illness and those going through tough life transitions.
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as my therapeutic model. I help you challenge negative thoughts and help you find thoughts that are more useful.
With 6 years of experience, I know how heavy life can feel when things are out of place. My practice is a safe, warm space completely free of judgment where you can truly be heard. I meet you exactly where you are with deep empathy.

With Thriveworks, Online therapy is an effective alternative to in-person therapy services in which a client can speak to a Thriveworks therapist remotely via online video conferencing. Online sessions are just as effective as in-person treatment, but they can also provide added benefits like reduced travel time, saving money on transportation or childcare, and increased access to care.
Online therapy works much like traditional in-person therapy but takes place through secure video conferencing. Clients can attend Online therapy from any safe place they choose that has access to the internet, whether that be their home or another easily accessible place. Like in-person treatment, a therapist will work with their client to address their concerns, create goals, and establish an effective treatment plan.
There is no best option for online therapy—instead, it’s best to focus on finding a provider that meets your specific needs and with whom you can form a professional connection with.
Yes, online therapy is just as effetive for many clients as in-person sessions.
Online therapy can last for a few months to years depending on the goals and symptoms of the client. The treatment process will be unique to each client and lend itself to their specific concerns, which means that the time it takes to treat them will always be different. Timing is also up to the client themselves; they are free to stop therapy whenever they please, especially if they feel they have reached their goals and addressed their concerns.
At Thriveworks, we accept most major insurance plans, allowing many clients to pay as little as $0–$50 per session with their co-pay. We also offer self-pay options for those out-of-network or without insurance. Self-pay rates for talk therapy range from $160 to $240 for intake sessions and $135 to $195 for follow-ups, depending on your state. For psychiatry services, self-pay intake sessions are $255–$375, with follow-ups ranging from $175–$300, also varying by state. More information on current self-pay costs is available on our pricing page.
While we don’t always open up about how we’re feeling, we do all experience a range of emotions on a daily basis. We might feel angry one day and then sad the next; we might feel disappointed or defeated after a tough conversation with a loved one; we might feel unmotivated or unenthusiastic about going to work. This list could go on virtually forever. The takeaway is that we all encounter emotional struggles as well as other mental health challenges that threaten our wellbeing.
Fortunately, we can learn to manage these emotional and mental challenges, with the help of a mental health counselor. Counselors, therapists, and psychologists all have unique skills, experience, training, and specialties that enable them to help people with these varying problems.
Give yourself a break. Stop beating yourself up. Everyone makes mistakes, has setbacks and failures. You don’t come with a book on how to get it right all the time. You will fail sometimes, not because you planned to, but simply because you’re human. Failure is a part of creating a great life.” –Les Brown
