LMHC, 10 years of experience
Hi, I am Victoria B. Freeman, Founder and Lead Therapist of Cosmic Couch Counseling. I’m glad that you are here. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida with experience working with young adults, adults, and families. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including: anxiety, depression, confidence/self-esteem, grief/loss amongst other personal issues. With me, you don’t have to hold it all together. You can let it out. You can sit in silence. You can just be. No pretending. No judgment. Just honesty.
How We’ll Work Together In our sessions, you don’t have to filter anything. We slow down, breathe, and start tapping into what’s been buried , the emotions you’ve had to hold in for too long. Sometimes that means crying. Sometimes it’s silence. Sometimes it’s just naming the heaviness for what it is. My role is to meet you right where you are with no expectations and walk beside you as you begin to reconnect with yourself. Together, we’ll make space for everything you’ve been carrying, and through mindful self-compassion, start to soften the edges of the pain. You won’t have to pretend here. You get to be fully human and we’ll move at your pace, one small, steady step at a time.
My counseling style is compassionate, solution-oriented, and warm. I believe every human being deserves to be treated with respect, dignity, unconditional positive regard. I use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) approaches to counseling, meeting each individual in their position of life.
I’m the right therapist for you if: ✔ You’re a parent who feels overwhelmed, numb, or disconnected ✔ You’ve tried to “push through” but nothing helps for long ✔ You’re carrying guilt, shame, or a quiet heaviness you don’t talk about ✔ You want a safe space where you don’t have to be “strong” ✔ You’re open to exploring your emotions without rushing the process ✔ You want a therapist who is deeply present, grounded, and human ✔ You want someone who can sit with your pain without trying to force a silver lining If you’re longing to feel alive again — even if you’re scared to hope — you’ll feel validated, understood, and supported here.
Making Sense of the Thoughts That Pull You Down In the beginning, we focus on helping you understand the thoughts that make everything feel heavier — the “I should be happier,” “I’m failing,” or “nothing ever works for long” loops that play in the background. With CBT, we slow down enough to notice these patterns and begin separating you from the thoughts that are hurting you. You don’t have to “think positive” — that’s not what this is. Instead, I help you see the emotional stories your mind has been telling and gently shift them into something more truthful and less punishing. This is often where your sense of “I might be broken” starts to soften.
Reconnecting You With Yourself Again When you’re not just surviving anymore, we shift into reconnecting — with your body, your breath, your relationships, and the parts of yourself you’ve been disconnected from. Mindfulness-based therapy helps you: Slow down enough to feel present Notice moments of peace — even small ones Develop self-compassion instead of self-criticism Reconnect to meaning, purpose, and hope It’s the phase where you begin to actually feel again — not in a scary or overwhelming way, but in a human way. This is where many moms say they start waking up with a sense that life might be worth living again.
Finding Stability When Your Emotions Feel Too Big or Too Numb Once you start noticing your thoughts, we begin working with the emotional waves underneath. DBT gives us practical tools — real-world, mom-life tools — to help you feel less overwhelmed and more steady. Together, we’ll: Learn how to ride out intense emotions without shutting down Build skills to respond instead of react Strengthen your ability to stay grounded when everything feels like “too much” Create space between you and the spiral This isn’t about perfection. It’s about giving you the internal stability you’ve been craving — the ability to get through a hard day with fewer moments of snapping, zoning out, or feeling like you’re drowning.
How These Approaches Work Together We move in this order — CBT → Mindfulness → DBT — because this mirrors how healing naturally unfolds: We understand what’s happening in your mind. We help you reconnect with yourself and create a life that feels meaningful. We build emotional stability so you don’t feel swallowed by your feelings. Healing isn’t linear, but this framework brings structure to the chaos and gives you something solid to lean on as you move forward.
