Hi, My name is Velma Penermon Stevens, therapist with Soulistic Counseling and Therapeutic Services, LLC.. I am a licensed therapist (LCSW-QS) in the state of Florida. I attended Florida A&M University for undergraduate school then I went on to obtain my MSW degree from Florida State University. I have over 25 years working in the not for profit sector and 10 years in pastoral care. It is these work experiences where I gained my passion to help others, leading me to open my own private practice agency.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session, my goal is to make you feel heard. We'll start with a brief introduction, then move into the specific challenges you're facing. This not only helps with the rapport building process, it also aids us with developing an appropriate plan of care for achieving your desired outcome thus restoring harmony and balance back into your life.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Having worked in this field for so many years, I have developed a style of therapy that promotes a safe, judgement free atmosphere for open dialogue which can lead to clarity, effective coping skills and feelings of empowerment.

Virtual & in-personMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT is an evidenced based approach I've been using successfully with relationship issues, depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety disorders, anger and aggression, and stress management.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
Solution focused therapy is an evidenced based approach I've been using successfully with depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety disorders, anger and aggression, and stress management.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
Person Centered has been successfully used in my practice. It is one of the most common treatment modalities as it affords the client the opportunity to become more self-aware while achieving their goals for therapy. I have used this modality with a good degree of success with depression, anxiety, anger and stress management.
