I am the wife of a Retired Combat Veteran and a mother to four beautiful children. I understand the complexities of being separated from your spouse for extended periods and feeling alone in the relationship and raising the children. Even the most well-prepared and successful person can find themselves wondering how things became so complicated, messy, or challenging, and feel at a loss when it comes to what to do to put the pieces back together. People have been shaped and molded by their past experiences, both good and bad. Often, people feel drawn to focus on the bad experiences, leading to pain and struggles of many kinds.

Hello, it will soon be great to meet you as you visit my Grow Therapy Provider Profile. I'm Jacqueline Gibb, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC). I work with all ages in the Tampa FL area. You can meet with me for an in-office visit or teletherapy. I enjoy working with clients who feel they struggle with a wide range of mental health concerns including depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, focus and concentration issues, ADHD, and obsessive-compulsive disorder to name a few. It can be frustrating when an individual is struggling emotionally with more negative than positive feelings and it can keep an individual feeling stuck in their emotional pain. I have diligently studied the understanding of the amygdala in the brain and how the amygdala and hippocampus interprets emotional, physical, and sexual abuse that can keep a person feeling that they can't break free from the negative memories of their past. Also, these painful memories will continue to remind individuals of the traumatic event(s) they went through. Remember, you're not alone and you are valuable. The trainings that I've received can move you forward toward your life goals and the good news is that you and I working together to reduce the negative thoughts and feelings you have had to suffer through. Now, you can obtain the sense of belonging and joy you deserve in this life without negative thoughts and feelings popping up in your head when you least expect them. I also believe psychoeducation is an important part of the healing process. This helps you to understand certain types of thinking patterns and behavior reactions the human brain does and how you can reduce and stop those type of negative feelings as you move forward with healing. My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating individuals with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. I work with all faith denominations, ethnic and cultural backgrounds. It takes courage to reach for a more fulfilling and happier life! By making an appointment with me, you're taking the first brave step towards change.

As a licensed clinical social worker with 16 years of experience, I’ve had the privilege of supporting individuals on their unique paths toward healing and personal growth here in the beautiful State of Florida. Through my counseling journey, I’ve discovered that real, lasting change begins with self-compassion. My goal is to create a safe, nurturing, and nonjudgmental space where you feel empowered to express yourself and explore the challenges you’re facing. Whether you’re navigating feelings of stress, anxiety, or depression, we’ll work together to uncover the root causes and develop personalized strategies to overcome them. My therapeutic approach is eclectic, drawing on mindfulness practices, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and solution-focused techniques tailored to your individual needs. It takes courage to seek support and take the first steps toward a more joyful and fulfilling life, and I’m here to guide you every step of the way. Together, we’ll work to help you build a life of purpose, resilience, and happiness. Let’s begin this transformative journey—you don’t have to do it alone!
