Therapists in Florida

Hi! I'm a Licensed Therapist (LMHC) based in Florida. I received my degree from Nova Southeastern University in South Florida and have been practicing for the past 24years. I have experience helping teens, young adults and couples manage stress and anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, & motivation, self esteem, and confidence. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.

I am happy you are considering a more satisfying way of life. Believe me, it is my pleasure to help you do that. Together, we can look at disappointments, core beliefs that support dysfunction, and determine the best way out. All that will be asked of you is to participate in therapy with the courage and honesty needed to be truthful about what is getting in the way of achieving your goals, be willing to cope with fear and learn something new. In addition, along the way we will practice guided meditation and visualization with progressive muscle relaxation as a means to facilitate improved focus and mindfulness.

Hi! I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor based in Florida. I received my Masters from Argosy University have been practicing for 7 years, licensed for 3 years. I aim to help adolescents (ages 13-17) and adults (18-65+) struggling with mental health and emotional challenges, problematic behaviors, and stressors with additional benefits of increasing insight and awareness to the mental health population.

As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida, I provide compassionate and solution-focused therapy to individuals across various life stages. With a Master's Degree in Counseling from St. Thomas University in Miami, Florida, and over 10 years of experience in psychology, I've developed expertise in addressing everyday stressors, anxiety, mood disorders, and life transitions. My therapeutic approach emphasizes collaboration, empathy, and evidence-based techniques tailored to each client's unique needs. My goal is to create a safe, non-judgmental space where individuals can explore their concerns, identify strengths, and work towards lasting growth.

My name is Carlos Izquierdo, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Florida. I work with individuals who are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and other difficulties that may leave them feeling stuck or overwhelmed. I believe that many psychological struggles are not signs of something being “wrong” with us, but rather the result of patterns and strategies that may have once served a purpose but are no longer helping us move forward. Therapy can provide an opportunity to understand these patterns, develop new perspectives, and discover more effective ways of responding to life’s challenges. My goal is to create a supportive and collaborative space where you can explore what is holding you back, recognize your strengths, and develop more flexible and creative ways of navigating difficult situations. I see challenges not simply as problems to eliminate, but as opportunities for greater self-understanding, personal growth, and meaningful change.

As a Licensed Mental Health Therapist, it is my mission to cultivate a safe, caring, and non-judgmental environment where healing can take place. For over 10 years, I have provided compassionate psychotherapy to adolescents, adults and senior adults enduring a myriad of social and emotional life stressors. I utilize evidence-based treatment and strategies proven to provide effective outcomes, customizing my approach to meet the needs of each unique individual and circumstance.

Supporting and empowering others in any way I can is my passion! I cater to most forms of mental health with my expertise most notably with complex PTSD from narcissistic abuse and ongoing abuse, anxiety, bipolar, and ADHD. I have the most experience with survivors of domestic abuse and in substance use. I truly honor the therapeutic alliance that lays the foundation to a collaboration effort where true healing and trust can occur. This allows for deep, impactful healing modalities to be utilized and for an authentic interaction to manifest into higher thinking, as well as guiding clients to attain a growth mindset for long term positive change.

What stops you from leading a happy, productive life? What causes you stress, anxiety and depression? I believe the answer to living a happy successful life rests in our relationship with ourselves and the people we choose to interact with on a daily basis. Self awareness is the key cornerstone to emotional intelligence. I earned my Masters in Social Work from Columbia University and am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, practicing in the state of Florida. I am a member of The National Association of Social Workers and received postgraduate certificates as a Certified Dementia Practitioner and a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional. As a client-centered clinician for more than 15 years, I provide individual, couples and family counseling utilizing a variety of modalities and techniques tailored to the individual's needs to help attain the personal growth their striving for. My treatment specialties include, but are not limited to depression, anxiety, mood/personality disorders, family dysfunction, low self-esteem, codependency, trauma, addiction and recovery (ACOA), conflict resolution, and phases of life issues for adults 18+. Treatment services are offered entirely through telehealth, giving us the flexibility to connect conveniently and safely. I am currently accepting new clients and look forward to meeting you!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida with over six years of experience helping individuals navigate a variety of mental health challenges.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and client-centered. I aim to create a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where you can feel comfortable exploring your thoughts and emotions. I work particularly well with individuals who feel unsure, stuck, or conflicted about making changes, and I help them build insight, increase motivation, and take meaningful steps forward at a pace that feels right for them.

I am authentic, down to earth, and committed to joining in on this journey with you or your loved one.

Greetings and welcome to my page. Taking that first step to seek help can be tough, especially when you're trying to find the right therapist. Allow me to introduce myself and provide you with a summary of my experience. My name is Florence, and I am a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 27 years of experience in Social Work practice. I believe that every person’s journey is unique, which is why I use an integrative, individualized approach to therapy. By drawing from a variety of evidence-based treatment methods, I tailor each session to meet your specific needs, goals, and life experiences. My practice is grounded in trauma-informed care and cultural sensitivity, creating a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered. I have experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and older adults facing a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, life transitions, academic concerns, chronic illness adjustment, caregiver stress, diabetes-related behavioral health concerns, and issues related to aging and later life. I am especially passionate about helping young people develop the emotional and social skills needed to thrive. Whether you are seeking support for yourself or your child, my goal is to help build resilience, strengthen self-confidence, improve emotional well-being, and develop healthy coping strategies that promote lasting growth and healing. Together, we can work toward overcoming obstacles, discovering strengths, and creating meaningful change that supports a healthier, more fulfilling life.

I offer a space to pause, reflect, and reconnect with what matters most. Whether you’re navigating loss, transitions, relationship challenges, or simply feeling stuck, our work together can help you explore meaning, clarify purpose, and move toward a more authentic and grounded sense of well-being. I approach therapy with curiosity, warmth, and respect, believing it can be a space not only for healing, but also for reclaiming parts of yourself and imagining new possibilities.

Hello. I am Eddie Do you feel constantly on edge—tense, anxious, or jittery? Are trembling, sweaty hands making everyday moments harder? Have dread and fear been weighing you down? Maybe your relationships feel strained—every conversation with your partner turning into a disagreement—or perhaps the simple joy and ease you once had feel out of reach. For over 20 years, I’ve helped people find their inner strength and build confidence they didn’t know they had. I dedicate my work to assisting individuals in achieving greater self-awareness, healthy assertiveness, and the courage to be vulnerable in safe, empowering ways. Drawing from my expertise and experience, I teach proven coping strategies that help you navigate life’s stressors with clarity and resilience. I’ve had the privilege of working with people from diverse cultures and backgrounds, each bringing unique strengths and challenges to the process. My approach is multifaceted, grounded in cognitive‑behavioral techniques. I am committed to challenging unhelpful thought patterns and inspiring fresh perspectives that facilitate change. My goal is simple yet profound: to help you trust yourself, rely on your abilities, and make decisions with confidence. Progress takes work—but the rewards are life‑changing. Whether you’re facing anxiety, relationship difficulties, depression, or substance misuse, I won’t promise to “fix” everything. What I can promise is my full commitment—sharing every skill, tool, and insight I have—to help you explore, grow, and learn. If you’re ready to take the next step, I’m ready to walk it with you. Let’s get started.

Hi, I’m Jaki Neering, LCSW. I’m a trauma-informed therapist who’s passionate about creating safe, affirming spaces where you can feel seen and supported. My approach is holistic and somatic, helping folks reconnect with their minds, emotions, and inner wisdom. Since 2017, I’ve worked closely with the LGBTQ+ community, offering care that’s affirming and grounded in compassion. I honor all the ways we learn to survive and gently support people in letting go of what no longer serves them. I believe healing is possible, and it starts with feeling truly met. You deserve that space.

I believe that change happens when people are given the proper guidance and tools needed to pursue their goals while also giving them the autonomy to pull on their own strengths and qualities that will get them to the finish line. I provide clients with a space full of compassion and support to help them overcome obstacles and move forward in life. My therapeutic experience mostly consists of services provided to adult and adolescent clients struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, family conflict, and stress related issues. I tailor various therapeutic modalities such as, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused, Positive Psychology and Motivational Interviewing according to the client’s individual needs and wants. I believe that everyone is entitled to pursue and live a fulfilling and happy life. I believe that a large part of wellness is having healthy, meaningful relationships, not just with others, but with ourselves.

I have over 10 years of experience working in mental health, and I have been in private practice for the last 5. I have spent the majority of my counseling career in community mental health, which has given me the skills to meet people where they are at, and to be able to work with a diverse client population. I have extensive training in the treatment of Postpartum Depression and Anxiety, anxiety disorders, phobias, eating disorders, and trauma/PTSD. I'm certified in EMDR, CBT, and integrate a variety of therapeutic modalities when working with clients. I grew up in the northeast, in a small town in rural Vermont. My family decided to relocate to southeast Georgia in 2023, and since then I have been providing telehealth therapy to clients throughout Georgia and Florida. I enjoy spending free time with my two children, my husband, and close friends and family. I enjoy being active and being outdoors as much as possible.

I am a licensed mental health client in the state of Florida. I have worked with an array of mental health conditions in many different settings. I have now been in private practice for 8 years and find true joy in providing my clients with a safe space in order to work towards meeting their own goals, whatever those might be. I also enjoy working with couples as well as providing parent skills to parents in all different stages of parenting.

With 17 years of experience in diverse therapeutic settings, I bring both depth and perspective to my work as a psychotherapist. My training is rooted in evidence-based practices, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), with additional expertise in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).

Welcome! I'm Denise Billings. Take a moment to acknowledge you've taken the first step towards bettering your mental health because let's be honest - starting therapy can be empowering, confusing, or scary, all at the same time. I strive to create a safe and welcoming environment that allows clients to explore obstacles with concerns related to anxiety, depression, and/or self-care. I focus on helping clients develop assertive communication & boundaries with themselves and those around them that can help improve their quality of life. Counseling can foster personal development in whatever way you may be seeking and help build the life you so deeply deserve. If that's what you're looking for, I'm here when you're ready to share.

I bring over 20 years of experience working with individuals across all ages—adults, young adults, teens, and children. Throughout my career, I’ve supported people navigating a wide range of challenges, including trauma, faith-related concerns, chronic illness, anxiety, depression, substance use, men’s issues, self-esteem struggles, decision-making difficulties, and grief and loss. My path into counseling began with a master’s degree in pastoral counseling. Over time, I felt called to serve a broader community, which led me to pursue a second master’s degree in counseling psychology. This training allows me to integrate both clinical expertise and a deep respect for each person’s lived experience. At the heart of my work is the therapeutic relationship. I believe healing happens when you feel genuinely heard, supported, and safe. My primary goal is to create a space where you can talk openly about the parts of your life that feel heavy, confusing, or painful—without judgment or pressure. I draw from a variety of therapeutic approaches, tailoring them to your unique needs and goals. Together, we’ll identify what feels most helpful for you and build a path forward that supports your growth, clarity, and well-being.

Hi, I'm Jacob. I specialize in helping adults heal from trauma, anxiety, depression, and stress. I believe therapy should feel like a place where you can show up exactly as you are—without judgment or pressure to have everything figured out. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where we can work together to understand what you're carrying, build on your strengths, and help you move toward lasting healing. My passion for this work comes from my own life experiences. As a young person, I lived through significant trauma, including abuse and profound loss. Like many people, I searched for ways to cope before I had healthy support. My healing journey began when I started serving others, which eventually led me to become an EMDR therapist. Experiencing EMDR for myself transformed the way I understood healing and inspired me to pursue advanced training and certification. Today, I use EMDR alongside a client-centered approach, always meeting you where you are. I believe healing is possible, even when it doesn't feel that way right now. Together, we'll work at a pace that feels comfortable while helping you process difficult experiences, build practical coping skills, and create meaningful change in your life.

I was inspired to become a therapist because I wanted to be the kind of safe, supportive presence for others that I needed during my own childhood. What I love most about this work is seeing the growth my clients make, but also being there through the tough times when they stumble and watching them find the strength to get back up.

Hello and Welcome! I'm Christy. Take a moment to acknowledge you've taken the first step towards bettering your mental health because, let's be honest - starting therapy can be empowering, confusing, or scary, all at the same time. I strive to create a safe and welcoming environment that allows clients to explore obstacles with concerns related to a wide array of mental health challenges such as anxiety, depression, and/or self-care, just to name a few.

Hi, I’m a therapist who believes therapy doesn’t have to feel intimidating or clinical to be effective. I help people sort through stress, self-doubt, relationship tension, and life transitions—with clarity, compassion, and a healthy dose of humor. My clients often tell me they chose me because I feel relatable and real, and because I’m not afraid to laugh with them even when things are tough. I’m straightforward and down-to-earth. I’ll meet you where you are without judgment, help you challenge what’s keeping you stuck, and walk alongside you as you make sense of what’s working—and what isn’t. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all therapy. I believe in real conversations, real growth, and helping you feel like yourself again (or maybe for the first time). Whether you’re navigating anxiety, burnout, relationship struggles, or just trying to feel more grounded in your life, I’m here to help you reconnect with your strength, your clarity, and your sense of possibility. You don’t have to be perfect or polished. Just bring yourself—we’ll take it from there.

Hi, I'm Aly! I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor whose years of experience include time in both inpatient and outpatient settings. I have worked with children, teens, and adults struggling with a variety of different mental health and substance use disorders. I take a client-centered and trauma-informed approach to counseling, using primarily solution-focused, cognitive behavioral, and dialectical behavioral skills to empower individuals to overcome challenges so they can live their best authentic lives.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker holding a Master of Social Work degree and a Substance Use Disorders & Addictions Certificate from the University of North Carolina at Wilmington, earned in May 2020. I am certified in Multi-Modal Attachment Therapy (M-MAT) Level III and Therapeutic Martial Arts Level II. I have education in Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy. I bring expertise in helping individuals navigate anxiety, ADHD, stress, and relationship issues. I am intentional about implementing a compassionate, client- and family-centered approach, tailoring care to the unique needs of children, adolescents, adults, and families. Through personal and professional channels, I have experience navigating the ever-changing and non-traditional experiences of military-affiliated individuals and families. With unconditional support and warm accountability, I foster a safe and consistent environment that emphasizes each client’s strengths and encourages personal growth. My work focuses on improving emotional regulation, building practical coping skills, and boosting self-esteem; empowering clients to achieve lasting positive change and cultivate stronger, more meaningful relationships. Outside of my professional work, I enjoy attending live performances, visiting amusement parks, engaging in arts and crafts, watching horror movies and true crime shows, spending time outdoors, savoring sushi, playing games, and training and competing in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

I have a lot of life experience and had several careers before becoming a therapist, and I have traveled extensively. There isn't much I haven't seen or at least heard about. I try to provide a calm, nonjudgmental atmosphere for clients so they can feel free to say whatever is on their mind. Believe me when I say that if you've done a thing or thought about it, someone else has too. You are not alone.

I'm a LMHC licensed in Florida, and I've worked with children, adolescents, families, and adults across homes, schools, outpatient settings, and social service agencies. I have particular experience with military connected families, blended families, and clients navigating ADHD, eating disorders, anxiety, mood and bipolar disorders, grief, and life transitions that shake your sense of self. Working with clients to help them learn how to help themselves is my aim in counseling.

I work especially well with action-oriented, goal-directed people who know something feels off but aren’t quite sure how to change it. Own a business or live the entrepreneurial lifestyle? I get the pressure that comes with keeping both your work and personal life functioning without running yourself into the ground. If you’re ready to level up your thinking, boundaries, relationships, or productivity, you’re in the right place. Think you may be dealing with narcissistic behavior at home or at work? We can sort through what’s happening, figure out what’s actually in your control, and build a strategy—whether that means navigating the situation more effectively or making a graceful exit. You have options. Real life usually needs more than a few social-media therapy tips and a catchy quote. Let’s get cooking. :)

In 2010 I became a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and a Certified Qualified Supervisor for Mental Health Registered Interns in 20015.

Hello! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Florida. I am originally from Philadelphia , PA, so I have come to enjoy Florida’s climate. I came to Florida via the military. I am retired military and after serving for twenty-four years, I felt compelled to redirect my life toward caring for others in a more personal and meaningful way. I decided that clinical therapy would best tie into my natural and learned abilities as well as my desire to help people. I earned my Master of Social Work from the University Of Southern California with a primary focus in Children, Youth, and Families. I chose this focus because I believe every aspect of the family is important from the individual to the couple and family with children, and in many cases, the extended family. I am EMDR trained. I am also certified to work with all anxiety disorders. I have extensive experience working with neurotypical and neurodivergent clients living with substance abuse, anxiety, depression, and trauma.

There’s no denying that life isn’t always a walk in the park. While I’m sure you can relate to this as an adult, the same goes for kids, teens, and college-age students. Don’t forget, they’re going through this life without a manual, just as you are. But life is also spectacularly beautiful. Unfortunately, the trials faced during any phase of life can often dim that beauty and hold your child back from living the life they deserve. Anxiety, depression, and self-doubt can creep into anyone's life at any age. Mental health challenges can rob them of happiness, self-confidence, and life-fulfillment. I get it. I’ve been in their shoes. As an experienced, understanding, and caring counselor for teens, children, and young adults. I can help support your child, whether they are elementary-school-aged, in the turbulent teenage years, or college-aged. And, because I value being an advocate for kids and an ally for parents, I can support you, too.

As a Christian woman, you want a therapist who understands both your faith and your struggles without judgement. I help women who feel anxious, overwhelmed, and unlike themselves find steadiness in their emotions, their relationships, and their walk with God. Maybe you’ve noticed changes in your mood, find yourself overthinking, or have questions about relationships that matter to you. It could be that you are going through a difficult season, hormonal changes related to perimenopause or PMDD, or due to memories and hurts that still affect you today. You may be telling yourself that if you prayed more or tried harder, you’d be fine. I hear this a lot. You’re not going crazy, and you’re not weak. What used to work just isn’t working right now. As a bilingual (English & Español), licensed therapist with 20 years of experience, I’ve walked with many women of all ages through hard seasons. In our sessions, we’ll figure out what’s going on and work on practical ways to calm your mind, manage your emotions, and relate to yourself with great self-compassion. As a Christian therapist, I can draw on biblical truths alongside proven approaches like cognitive-behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy, so your faith becomes part of your healing. If you’d rather keep faith out of our sessions, that’s completely okay too. También ofrezco terapia en español.

Biography: I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. I facilitate the spiritual, mental and emotional healing process through talk therapy. The focus of most of my adult life has been to be a skilled helper to people in need.

I am a compassionate, non judgmental, "Wounded healer". Yes, I have had to negotiate life's struggles like anyone else. So, it is not just an academic exercise with me.

Therapist | LMHC: I believe that the therapeutic relationship is one of collaboration. A therapist and client need to work together to help the client achieve their goals.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 12 years of experience helping children, young adults, and families navigate emotional and behavioral challenges. I specialize in anxiety, depression, parenting concerns, emotional regulation, family relationships, and life transitions. I especially enjoy supporting parents who feel overwhelmed by daily responsibilities, parenting challenges, or family stress, as well as college students and young adults navigating academic pressure, relationships, independence, and personal growth. My therapeutic approach combines compassion with practical, evidence-based strategies, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), and Triple P Positive Parenting Program. I believe therapy should be a collaborative experience where clients feel understood, supported, and empowered to make meaningful changes. I offer morning appointments for parents who prefer sessions during school hours, college students with flexible schedules, and individuals who enjoy starting their day by prioritizing their mental health.
