About Watisha
Watisha Sims is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Michigan with 21 years of experience. She focuses on common problems like depression, anxiety, stress, sleep difficulties, and low self-esteem. She also supports people facing trauma, addiction concerns, ADHD, bipolar mood challenges, and career-related strain.
Watisha draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside cognitive behavioral and mindfulness approaches. In sessions she helps people name and make sense of strong emotions and the patterns those emotions create. She uses straightforward conversation and practical steps to help reduce worry and improve daily functioning.
Her style is client-centered, which means conversations are guided by each person’s concerns and goals. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) tools are used when someone wants to build willingness around difficult feelings and take action on personal values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques are used to identify unhelpful thinking and try small behavior changes.
People often bring questions about sleep, coping with major life changes, addiction, or long-standing trauma. Watisha also addresses issues such as guilt, shame, isolation, and obsessive thoughts. She works with multicultural concerns and first responder stress when those topics come up in therapy.
To begin, readers are encouraged to follow the practice’s online intake steps. The profile explains how to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session so practical next steps are clear.
How her approaches translate to online work
Watisha combines Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Client-Centered methods. EFT helps people notice and name intense emotions and the interaction patterns those emotions create. ACT focuses on accepting difficult feelings while taking meaningful action toward values. Client-Centered work keeps the focus on each person’s concerns and pace.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that fit a client’s needs. If something doesn’t feel useful, changes are made together so sessions stay practical and relevant.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find remote sessions help fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and make it easier to check in during the day. Watisha aims to apply EFT, ACT, and client-centered techniques in ways that fit everyday routines and individual circumstances.
