Watisha Sims, LPC

Watisha Sims is a Michigan-licensed counselor with 21 years of professional experience supporting people through depression, stress, worry, anxiety, addiction, trauma, low motivation, and struggles with self-esteem and confidence. As an LPC - a Licensed Professional Counselor - she draws on long experience to help clients find practical ways to cope and move forward.

She creates an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore thoughts and feelings and work toward meaningful change. Sessions focus on listening, collaboration, and building skills that fit each person’s situation and goals.

Taking the first step to begin therapy often requires courage, and Watisha acknowledges and honors that decision. She encourages prospective clients to reach out when they are ready to begin, offering steady support as they start the process of healing and growth.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify their values and take committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It is useful for addressing anxiety, depression, and patterns that get in the way of meaningful living. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical strategies for symptoms like worry, low mood, and sleep difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, empathetic relationship in which the therapist follows the client’s lead, helping people build self-awareness and confidence while feeling heard.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Watisha Sims works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts techniques over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, family, or other responsibilities and allow clients to access support from the comfort of their own environment. For many people, remote sessions provide a practical and effective way to engage in ongoing therapeutic work with licensed professionals.
