My name is Annastasia Gallo and I'm a LMHC located in Florida. I have expertise in opioid use disorder, substance use, and mental health. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Qualified Supervisor, I am trained in behavioral health with almost 10 years of clinical experience. I have a background in trauma and crisis counseling. I am a strength based counselor who will assist my clients in learning life long coping strategies and skills. I specialize in working with teenagers but I am of course open to seeing clients of all ages.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In the first session we will get to know each other. Your reason and goals for therapy and any questions you have for me.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

My greatest strength as a provider is listening to my clients and working together to accomplish the goals intended.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

My clients are eager to improve, but don't yet have the tools needed to make this goal a reality. They often feel stuck, overwhelmed and anxious about their personal struggles.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

CBT helps you become aware of inaccurate or negative thinking so you can view challenging situations more clearly and respond to them in a more effective way.

Motivational Interviewing

The benefits of motivational interviewing include: Helping clients to take responsibility for themselves and their actions. Encouraging clients to envision a future free of substance abuse or mental health struggles. Preparing clients to become more receptive to treatment.

Trauma-Focused CBT

TF-CBT uses exposure principles and cognitive-restructuring techniques that are specific to the traumatic experience. Exposure involves gradually introducing individuals to reminders of the trauma that may be tangible, such as places or people, or intangible, such as specific memories of traumatic events.
