Odette Hoffmann
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with a master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. I work with teens, adults, couples, and families navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship concerns, and everyday life stressors. My approach is warm, relational, and collaborative, and I believe meaningful progress happens when clients feel safe, supported, and genuinely understood within the therapeutic relationship. I strive to create a nonjudgmental space where clients can openly explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences while feeling respected and valued. I understand that every person and family system is unique, so I tailor treatment to meet each client’s individual needs, strengths, and goals. I draw from person-centered, cognitive behavioral, and humanistic approaches to help clients build self-awareness, develop healthier coping strategies, improve communication, and gain confidence in navigating challenges. I am passionate about helping clients strengthen relationships, manage emotional difficulties, and create lasting positive changes in their lives. Whether someone is facing a difficult transition, struggling with anxiety or self-esteem, or simply looking for greater balance and clarity, I aim to provide compassionate support and practical tools that empower growth and healing.
First session
Sessions are guided by your needs and goals, and we move at a pace that feels comfortable and respectful to you. Therapy isn’t about having all the answers—it’s about discovering them together. If you’re looking for a therapist who values compassion, connection, and growth, I would be honored to support you on your journey.
Strengths
My greatest strengths include empathy, active listening, and the ability to build strong, trusting relationships with clients. I create a supportive and nonjudgmental environment where individuals feel comfortable expressing themselves openly. I am also patient, compassionate, and collaborative in my approach, helping clients feel empowered while working toward meaningful personal growth and positive change.
Ideal clients
My ideal client is someone who is open to personal growth and willing to work collaboratively toward positive change. I enjoy supporting individuals who may be struggling with stress, anxiety, life transitions, self-esteem, or relationship challenges and are looking for a safe, supportive space to process their experiences. I value working with clients who are motivated to build healthier coping skills, increase self-awareness, and create meaningful changes in their lives at their own pace.
Treatment methods
Person-centered (Rogerian)
I use the person-centered approach by creating a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where individuals feel heard and empowered to make their own changes. In my practice, I focus on active listening, empathy, and collaborative goal setting to help clients identify their strengths, build confidence, and take ownership of their personal growth and progress.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help individuals identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors that may be affecting their daily lives. In my practice, I work collaboratively with clients to develop healthier coping skills, improve problem-solving, and build self-awareness. CBT helps clients recognize the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, empowering them to make positive and lasting changes.
Humanistic
I use the humanistic approach by creating a supportive and nonjudgmental environment where individuals feel valued, heard, and respected. In my practice, I focus on empathy, active listening, and personal growth, helping clients build self-awareness and confidence. I encourage individuals to recognize their strengths and make meaningful changes that align with their values and goals.
