Hello! Thanks for being brave and being willing to discuss your goals with me. My name is Floribeth. It will be my pleasure to become your psychotherapist and to see you soar through challenges. Do you feel that stress and anxiety is taking a toll on you? Do you struggle to cope with medical diagnosis or healthy eating behaviors? Is it hard to prioritize yourself and your wants and needs? I help my clients navigate these transition periods and build coping skills to allow them to feel better and develop a more positive outlook on life. My communication style is calm, empathetic, and active listening. I want my clients to feel comfortable talking with me about their issues. I pride myself on my ability to keep confidentiality, to provide a safe space, and to listen non-judgmentally. I love seeing individuals become more resilient and set an example for others. In our sessions, I will provide evidence-based techniques so you can overcome the hangups and habits holding you back. Let's work together on your journey to success!
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
What you can expect from our first session together is for us to spend most of our time talking about how you have been feeling, and me asking open-ended questions to better understand some of why you may be feeling that way. The first session is about us building rapport and for you to feel safe and comfortable talking. It will be my pleasure to become your psychotherapist and to see you soar through challenges.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I am a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Miami, Florida working with clients in a hospital setting and via telehealth, with 17 years of experience providing psychotherapy. My approach to therapy varies based on the needs of each client I work with. I use an eclectic approach of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and solution-focused therapy, as those modalities help my clients build a shared understanding of their reality and allow us to work together in their journey to success. I provide evidence-based techniques, mindfulness meditation, progressive muscle relaxation, and diaphragmatic breathing exercises to help eliminate or control symptoms to increase the clients' well-being and healing process.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I have found that my style and approach are a good fit for the elderly, adults, and teens, who may be dealing with the challenges of life. This often takes the form of anxiety, stress, PTSD, trauma, obesity, eating behaviors, depression, and chronic medical issues. I work to help my clients navigate these transition periods and build coping skills to allow them to feel better and develop a more positive outlook on life.
