(she/her)
Hi! My name is Desiree, and I'm the founder and owner of Light at the End Counseling Services, LLC. As a mental health therapist in the state of Florida, I specialize in working with adults, children, and teens struggling with anxiety and stress management. I also see individuals who struggle with self-esteem, relationships, and family issues. My style of counseling is characterized by a kind and direct manner, combined with compassion, in a culturally sensitive context. I am also a certified school counselor. My past work enhanced my professional experience as an educator in St. Lucie County and as a dependency case manager for The Department of Children and Families (DCF). I graduated with honors from Webster University with a Master of Arts Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I returned to graduate school to receive my Education Specialist Degree in School Counseling from Florida Atlantic University, graduating with honors. I was born and raised in Florida and enjoy spending time with my family at the beach, especially during those hot summer days!
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
Usually, I'd review any intake paperwork completed in order to give me general information about you and build rapport. The first session is usually a time to get a good background and description of the problem you want to work on. It is also a good opportunity for you to ask questions of the therapist about their experience and discover if the counselor is right for you.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I provide a warm, structured, therapeutic environment, creating a "safe space" for my clients to authentically be themselves while addressing their challenges.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
Are you feeling like you're at the end of your rope? Have you tried everything, but nothing seems to work? If you answered yes, then I want you to know there is light at the end of the tunnel. You've already taken the first step in the right direction. I'd like the opportunity to become a part of your journey towards personal growth, and becoming a better you starting TODAY!

Virtual & in-personMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) strategies to help clients understand how their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are interconnected. This approach enables clients to identify and challenge unhelpful thinking patterns, ultimately developing healthier ways of coping and responding.
Couples Counseling
My goal with couples counseling is to focus on improving communication, building trust, resolving conflicts, and strengthening the connection between partners. I aim to support both individuals in the relationship while working toward shared goals.
Motivational Interviewing
I use this technique as a collaborative approach that helps clients explore the reasons behind their desire for change. I use reflective listening and open-ended questions to support clients in building motivation and confidence to move forward.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
This approach is used with clients to teach them to be more present and aware of their thoughts and feelings without judgment. It helps reduce stress and improve emotional regulation by encouraging grounding techniques and self-awareness.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
Solution-focused brief treatment is a goal-oriented and future-focused approach for clients. It helps clients identify their strengths and past successes, creating practical steps toward solutions rather than spending extensive time on problems.
