Find a licensed online therapist in Mesa, AZ

I believe therapy should feel like a space where you can show up exactly as you are — without judgment, pressure, or having to “have it all figured out.” With more than 20 years of experience as a licensed therapist, I work alongside clients to help them better understand themselves, navigate difficult seasons of life, and create meaningful, lasting change. Many of the people I work with are dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, relationship challenges, life transitions, low self-esteem, or the emotional weight of caring for others while trying to care for themselves. Some feel overwhelmed or stuck, while others simply want a deeper understanding of who they are and what they need in order to feel more grounded and fulfilled. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and person-centered. I believe each individual’s story, experiences, and strengths matter, and I tailor therapy to fit your unique needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. Together, we can explore patterns that may no longer serve you, strengthen coping skills, improve self-awareness, and build a healthier relationship with yourself and others. I have experience supporting young adults, older adults, caregivers, and individuals facing major life changes or questions around identity, purpose, relationships, and personal growth. Whether you are navigating a difficult transition or simply looking for a space to process and heal, my goal is to help you feel heard, supported, and empowered throughout the process. I am licensed in Iowa and Arizona and am honored to support clients on their path toward healing, resilience, and self-discovery.

My name is Javonne Spivey and I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with over 10 years of experience. I have worked with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues, trauma, and relationship challenges. My counseling style is genuine and validating. I am passionate about building therapeutic rapport with individuals to help them identify strengths as they work towards achieving personal goals. I believe therapy consists of a collaborative relationship and therefore I welcome feedback and encourage individuals to be an active participant in their treatment. My approach to treatment combines cognitive-behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing. I am intentional about educating individuals about the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors and highlighting the power of thoughts and self-talk. I am a Christian and I enjoy utilizing scripture to help individuals achieve wellness that will lead to greatness. I have experience with implementing bible plans in treatment to help individuals address depression, anxiety, self-esteem, and purpose. I created a Christian mental wellness journal titled, Changing My Unhealthy Thoughts. The journal teaches the skills of utilizing scripture and taking thoughts captive to control and manage thinking patterns. The journal introduces a technique called prayerful thoughts. Prayerful thoughts are thoughts rooted in scripture. The journal encourages the reader to challenge unhealthy thoughts with scripture and replace unhealthy thoughts with prayerful thoughts. I appreciate your interest in working with me and I am looking forward to listening to your story and building a therapeutic relationship. My mission is to help you achieve wellness that leads to greatness. Let’s get started!

Sometimes clarity arrives one message at a time. Hi, I’m Mandy Lopez Azimy, LCSW, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New Mexico and Arizona. I work primarily through asynchronous messaging rather than live video or phone sessions. This creates a calm, steady space where you can write when things are actually coming up for you, not just during a scheduled appointment. I respond during consistent check-in times throughout the week. Some people prefer choosing one steady day as a more focused back-and-forth day, while others write as things come up. Together, we’ll find a rhythm that works and keep it steady. Because therapy through messaging is a collaborative process, I encourage active participation. Depending on your goals, I may incorporate reflection questions, journaling prompts, worksheets, or goal-setting exercises to help deepen insight and support progress between messages. While my practice is centered around messaging, there may be times when a live text chat is helpful for working through a specific issue in real time. When appropriate, we can discuss whether a live chat session would be beneficial. Many people who feel anxious about live sessions or have busy, unpredictable schedules find messaging to be a more comfortable and sustainable way to engage in therapy. I work with anxiety, stress, burnout, depression, life transitions, self-esteem, relationship concerns, communication difficulties, and family challenges. My approach is warm, structured, and focused on helping things feel clearer, more manageable, and more aligned with the life you want to create. This is a space to begin gently, explore honestly, and move forward at a pace that feels right for you. I look forward to working with you here.

My name is Marianne and I am a licensed professional therapist in Arizona with over 30 years of experience. In my many years of working as a therapist, the thing that has impressed me the most is the resiliency of the human spirit. I have worked with clients who have suffered through severe trauma, or who have had to make difficult life-changing decisions and yet, still find the strength to carry on. I am inspired by the strength and hope that I have witnessed in so many of my clients and carry that positive energy into my current therapy sessions. I strive to work with my clients to find their inner strength and resiliency to reach their full potential and achieve their desired goals. Even at a young age I was fascinated by human behavior and how biology and experiences shape the beliefs, personality and behaviors of individuals. While still in middle school I began reading books by Sigmund Freud, Carl Jung and other early founders of psychology, which only fueled my interest. But life events prevented me from pursuing my dream of becoming a therapist after high school. Several years later I was lucky enough to meet a clinical psychologist, who would become a dear friend and mentor. With his encouragement and support, I entered college, obtained my bachelor’s and master’s Degrees and ultimately became a licensed therapist. My personality influences my approach to therapy in many ways. I am friendly and easy going and I like to bring that into the therapeutic process to create a relaxed and accepting atmosphere. My communication style is straight forward and direct, but I respect the opinions, thoughts and feelings of others. I value diversity and believe that every person has the right to be who they are without judgement and believe we should embrace and celebrate our differences. Most of all I believe in authenticity and being honest and genuine. In therapy I strive to create a comfortable and safe environment in which clients can address their concerns and work on personal goals while feeling validated and valued. Please message me and provide several dates and times that are convenient for you so we can arrange our first meeting. My office hours are Monday through Friday, and I offer some flexibility in scheduling.
