Maryam Romagosa
Are you looking for a space to navigate current stressors—somewhere you can unwind and express thoughts or emotions that feel too heavy to carry alone? Do you want support in understanding mental health symptoms or building a personalized toolbox of coping skills? Hi, I’m Maryam. I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida, born and raised, and of Venezuelan descent. I’m bilingual in English and Spanish. I graduated from the University of South Florida with degrees in Psychology and Health Sciences and later earned my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Florida Gulf Coast University.
I’d describe my strengths as empathy, humor, creativity, active listening, and genuine motivation to help you move toward your goals.
My clinical experience includes working in mobile crisis response, outpatient counseling, addiction treatment, and telehealth therapy. Across all settings, my priority is to create a non-judgmental, safe, and welcoming environment where you can work toward your goals at a pace that feels right for you. I take a holistic approach and integrate a variety of therapeutic interventions, including art and music-inspired techniques, cognitive reframing to challenge negative self-talk, solution-focused strategies, and what I like to call “care-frontation.” I often offer optional tasks or reflections between sessions to help deepen your progress. I’d be honored to support you as we begin this healing journey together.
First session
In our first session together, we will start with brief introductions where we can get to know one another more and then dive into the specific challenges that you are facing. During this session we will discuss the goals you are looking to work on along with answering any questions you might have regarding therapy and services.
Strengths
I’d describe my strengths as empathy, humor, creativity, active listening, and genuine motivation to help you move toward your goals. I know that therapy and healing are not always easy, which is why I’m committed to walking alongside you with openness and care. My aim is to stay curious, nonjudgmental, and fully present as we explore what you’re experiencing. Clients have described me as “truly caring, understanding, professional, and fun,” and have shared that I offer compassion and comfort while still gently challenging them in ways that support insight and growth.
Ideal clients
My ideal client is someone who is open to the therapeutic process and willing to explore their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors with curiosity and honesty. I value working with clients who are willing to consider new perspectives and are open to making changes at a pace that feels manageable for them. I also appreciate clients who respect the therapy space and understand that therapy works best as a collaborative process. Open communication and feedback are especially important to me, as I want clients to feel comfortable sharing what is helpful, what may not be working, and how I can better support them. Ultimately, my ideal client is not someone who has everything figured out, but someone who is willing to show up, explore, and participate in their own growth.
Treatment methods
Integrative
Therapy doesn't always have to look like simply sitting and talking. I use an integrative approach to therapy, drawing from Gestalt, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Person-Centered Therapy. This allows me to tailor treatment to each client's individual needs, goals, and pace. Our work may include exploring emotions and patterns, developing practical coping tools, building on existing strengths, and identifying steps toward meaningful change. When appropriate, I incorporate creative and experiential activities such as timelines, drawing, movement, and even modern-day tik toks or other relatable forms of expression to help clients explore and communicate thoughts and emotions in ways that feel natural and accessible to them. My goal is to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to actively participate in your growth while also exploring yourself authentically and develop tools that feel meaningful and practical in your everyday life.
