Hello, my name is Clint and I'm a licensed clinical social worker in Florida. As we all know, life can be difficult at times. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, depressed, or dealing with a challenging life event, therapy can empower you to overcome these obstacles. So thank you for taking the first step of reaching out! Although everyone is different and has different needs, one common theme is self esteem. Oftentimes, symptoms of mental distress are related to having a poor self esteem. Using a variety of different therapeutic approaches, I have been successful in alleviating client symptoms by helping them build their self esteem. Once clients gain confidence in themselves, they find that they have the skills to manage those symptoms in a healthy manner.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
Before you decide on a therapist, it is important to know what the first session is going to look like. I first set the stage by assuring you that you are in a safe place and can be yourself. There is no judgement here. As the session progresses, we work together to identify the issue that is causing you to be distressed and formulate a plan to address it. That way when we come to the end of our first session, we have a direction to go into that assures you that you will overcome whatever it is that is troubling you.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
The art of therapy lies in using a balance of logic and empathy to address whatever it is that is distressing you so that you can feel empowered to have a more meaningful, happier life. This process must be done in the most compassionate way possible so that you feel safe to open up and be yourself. With this balance of competence and compassion, I have been able to empower several clients to face their issues head on and gain the confidence that they can overcome whatever hardship that they're having to face.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
My mission is to support adults facing a myriad of mental health issues by creating a safe, nonjudgemental space where you feel truly heard and understood. Using a collaborative, evidence based approach, including cognitive behavioral therapy, solution focused, and strengths based, among others, I can help you recognize unhelpful thought patterns, develop healthier coping strategies, and reconnect with your strengths. I'm passionate about walking alongside you in your journey-helping you feel more empowered, hopeful, and in control of your life. So let's book your first session and get started on our journey to a happier, healthier you.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I have been certified by the Association of Psychological therapies in CBT. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients by identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to emotional distress. By learning to recognize distorted thinking, develop healthier coping strategies, and practice new behaviors, clients gain greater control over their emotions, reduce symptoms such as anxiety and depression, and build practical skills that support long-term mental health and resilience.
Strength-Based
Using a strength-based therapy approach helps bolster self-esteem by identifying, validating, and building upon a person’s existing abilities, values, and successes. By shifting focus away from deficits and toward personal strengths, individuals develop a more balanced and compassionate self-view, which directly counteracts the negative self-talk common in depression. As self-esteem improves, clients often experience increased hope, motivation, and a sense of competence. This approach also addresses anxiety by enhancing confidence in one’s capacity to cope with stressors and challenges. Recognizing past resilience and effective coping skills reduces feelings of helplessness and fear of failure. Over time, strength-based therapy fosters empowerment, emotional regulation, and a greater sense of control, helping to alleviate symptoms of both depression and anxiety.
Interpersonal
Relationships are complicated. Although they are a source of our greatest satisfaction, they can also be quite stressful. I have found that through the use of interpersonal therapy, my clients have learned to be more empathetic to their partner's needs while also prioritizing their own.
Grief Therapy
I have spent several years working in hospice and hospitals working with patients experiencing the loss of a loved one or their independence. By providing space for them to be able to express their feelings of loss and encouraging them to give themselves the time and space to grieve, I have empowered patients to be able to adjust to their new lives.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
There are times when clients are limited by the amount of sessions that they are able to have. In these scenarios, it is important that we work together to define a goal and outline the steps to get there as soon as possible. That is why in all my initial sessions, I explain to my clients that we have to define the issue, establish a plan of care, and monitor that plan regardless of how many sessions they have available to them. I believe that it is very important for clients to know that there is a solution and that we are making measurable progress towards it.
