Therapists in Florida

Hello! I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 18 years of experience serving individuals in Indiana. My Master's degree from Northern Illinois University provided a strong foundation for the diverse therapeutic strategies and models I use to help clients navigate complex relationship challenges. I focus on thorough assessments, accurate diagnoses, and the development of tailored solutions to foster improved communication, emotional well-being, and overall functioning for everyone I work with.

I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 26 years of experience counseling others around grief and loss, depression, anxiety, couple’s issues, and chronic health issues. My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don’t believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic, and meaning centered therapies. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take steps toward change. I am here to support and empower you on that journey.

I’m a resilient therapist from the Caribbean who knows what it’s like to face challenges and start over. My personal journey has given me a deep understanding of what it takes to navigate change, adapt, and heal while carrying your story with you. With years of experience supporting people through anxiety, depression, grief, relationship struggles, and life transitions, I help clients make sense of their experiences and find balance and self-understanding. I create a space where you can show up as you are seen, heard, and supported and work with you to build real, lasting change at a pace that feels right for you.

As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with more than 15 years of experience, I work with adults and couples to help them build healthier relationships, develop effective coping skills, and create meaningful, lasting change. I also have experience supporting individuals during the prenatal and postpartum periods, recognizing the unique emotional and life adjustments that can come with expanding your family.

You may have spent your life showing up for everyone else, navigating spaces where you have to work twice as hard to feel seen. You deserve a space where you don’t have to translate your experience or explain the weight of 'the hustle'—a space where your culture and identity are honored, not just acknowledged. I provide expert, culturally-attuned support through evidence-based therapy to help you work through barriers and live fully. Vulnerability isn’t a weakness; it’s your greatest tool for change. You’ve got the vision—let’s build the path to get you there.

I want to know if you are tired of feeling anxious or depressed, you've tried, but nothing has helped, it just keeps spiraling? Do you feel confused and conflicted, maybe feeling like you need to change but have no idea how? Are you feeling stressed about a job, a relationship, not having a social life, or like you're functioning at a low level? Are you experiencing mood swings, in relapse mode, or struggling with post traumatic stress? Understanding that the situation isn't resolving on its own is already progress. We walk part of your path together; I may be your guide but you are the driver. I take a holistic, solution-focused approach, focused on what you need in your life right now. I am certified in Accelerated Resolution Therapy, a modality that helps clients quickly make changes by accessing what lies beneath the thoughts and words, making changes in the emotional brain; by the end of the session, you feel empowered, happy, light-hearted.

You may be feeling overwhelmed, emotionally drained, or stuck in painful patterns that make it hard to manage daily life, relationships, or your sense of self-worth. Sometimes these struggles are tied to current life challenges, and other times they are connected to earlier experiences that continue to affect how you feel, relate to others, and respond to stress today. Therapy can help you better understand what is going on and begin making meaningful changes. I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) speaking licensed psychotherapist and the author of Healing Childhood Trauma. I work with adults navigating anxiety, trauma, low self-worth, and relationship difficulties. I help clients explore the patterns that may be keeping them stuck while building healthier ways of coping, relating, and moving through daily life. My approach is warm, straightforward, and collaborative. I work with respect for your pace and aim to create a space where you can better understand your experiences, work through emotional pain, and build more secure patterns in your life and relationships. You do not need to have everything figured out before starting therapy. I support you through this process with the goal of helping you feel more secure, more confident, and better equipped to handle life’s challenges. When you feel ready to begin, I invite you to schedule our first session today.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I have experience providing psychotherapy to children, youth, adults and families for over a decade. I have been trained in several modalities and I specialize in individual treatment. I strive to create an environment where you’ll feel safe and open to be yourself. I enjoy bringing humor into the therapeutic room, can provide a solution-focused lens, but will always work with you to find the style that will be most helpful.

Hi, I’m Victoria Freeman, I’m really glad you’re here. I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida, and I work with young adults, adults, and families who are tired of holding everything together. Many of the people I see are living with anxiety, depression, emotional burnout, or a quiet sense that they’ve lost touch with themselves somewhere along the way. If you’re used to being the strong one, the responsible one, the one who keeps going no matter what, therapy here is a place where you don’t have to do that. With me, you don’t have to perform. You don’t have to explain everything perfectly. You don’t have to pretend you’re okay. You can cry. You can sit in silence. You can struggle to find words. You can just be. There is no judgment here, only honesty, patience, and room to breathe.

I provide compassionate, client-centered online therapy services for adults navigating behavioral health concerns, life transitions, relationship challenges, anxiety, depression, stress, and other emotional difficulties. As a licensed mental health professional, I create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their experiences, develop healthier coping strategies, and work toward meaningful personal growth. My approach is individualized to each client’s needs. It incorporates evidence-based therapeutic modalities and techniques, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and Strength-Based Therapy. When the client desires, I also offer faith-based therapy, integrating Christian faith and spiritual principles into the therapeutic process. I tailor my therapeutic approach to each client's individual needs, goals, preferences, and readiness for change. Depending on the client's concerns, we may incorporate techniques from multiple therapeutic approaches throughout counseling. My goal is to help clients better understand themselves, build on their strengths, navigate challenges, and develop practical tools for positive, lasting change.

I am a licensed therapist with more than 10 years of experience. I believe everyone deserves support and a space to process their feelings and needs. My goal is to help you manage anxiety, improve low mood, and feel more balanced and understood. You don’t have to do this alone—I am here for you. I believe in meeting you exactly where you are and creating a supportive, non-judgmental space where you can feel understood and empowered. My approach centers on collaboration, compassion, and helping you recognize your strengths as you work toward meaningful change. I’m passionate about guiding clients toward their mental health goals, building resilience, and creating lives that feel more balanced, fulfilling, and aligned with what matters most to them. Helping people grow and heal is truly the heart of my work. I take a collaborative and client-led approach, tailoring each session to what feels most relevant and helpful in the moment. Whether someone is navigating anxiety, stress, life transitions, relationship challenges, or simply seeking greater clarity and balance, I’m here to walk alongside them with compassion and intention. I’m passionate about helping people develop healthier coping skills, build resilience, and create habits that support long-term emotional well-being. Together, we work toward goals that align with who they are and the life they want to create. Supporting people through their healing journey isn’t just my profession—it’s something I truly care about and feel honored to be part of.

My name is Shavone Marie Williams-Moss, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I entered the field of social work largely because of my family background; I was raised by a single father while my mother struggled with substance abuse and mental health issues and could not perform her role as a parent. One day as an adult in my 20's, I saw my mother sitting on a bench on the main street in Kentucky. I welcomed her into my home only to discover she not only suffered from homelessness but bipolar disorder, major depression, and substance abuse. My mother lived with me for a year, after which she passed away. This situation made me wonder, what if, in her younger years, she would have met someone who was supportive, understanding, kind, selfless, and invested in helping her be the best version of her, she could be. It was then that I decided to enter the Social Work Field. I wanted to provide help to those who could not help themselves and aid to those in need.

Hi, I’m Demetria Agharese, and I help adults who may look like they have it all together on the outside but are quietly struggling on the inside find relief, confidence, and a way forward. My ideal clients are adults who are used to being strong, dependable, and capable—but privately feel overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, or disconnected from themselves. You may be navigating anxiety, intrusive thoughts, OCD, body dysmorphic disorder, depression, self-doubt, burnout, relationship difficulties, or the pressure to constantly “hold it all together.” Maybe your mind rarely slows down. You overthink decisions, question your feelings, replay conversations, worry about what might happen, or feel trapped in cycles of rumination, avoidance, checking, or reassurance-seeking. Perhaps you’re navigating a breakup, divorce, major life transition, low self-esteem, or simply wondering, “How did I lose myself?” You don’t have to continue living that way. I offer a warm, genuine, and judgment-free space where you can let your guard down and talk openly about what’s really happening. I believe therapy should be more than checking boxes on a diagnosis list. You deserve to feel heard, understood, supported, and gently challenged when needed. Using evidence-based approaches including CBT, ERP, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, behavioral strategies, mindfulness, and solution-focused techniques, I help clients break unhelpful cycles, face fears, manage difficult emotions, strengthen self-worth, establish healthier boundaries, and become less controlled by anxiety and uncertainty. My approach is collaborative and personalized. I’m not here to tell you who you should be. I’m here to help you understand yourself, identify what matters most to you, and develop the confidence and skills to live accordingly. If you’re ready to stop simply surviving and start creating a life that feels more peaceful, authentic, confident, and meaningful, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.

Hi, I'm Shante'. I am passionate about working with ambitious women (16+) who are dealing with anxiety, burnout, career difficulties, academic pressure, or relationship struggles.

Together, we'll work on building more balance, confidence, and calm in your life, so you can reconnect with yourself and create a more fulfilling life.

I have provided counseling & therapy to children, adolescents, and adults in various settings including schools, group homes, residential treatment facilities, in-office, in-home and virtually. I earned my B.A. in Psychology from The College of Wooster in 2001. In 2003, after working for 2 years at a non-profit in Washington, DC, I joined the staff of HB Woodlawn Secondary Program, in Arlington, VA, as a counseling assistant and college counselor for students in 6th – 12th grade. In 2006, I moved to Philadelphia, PA, and earned my M.A. in Counseling Psychology & School Counseling from Rosemont College in 2009. During my two practicum experiences, I worked primarily with children and adolescents with a variety of behavioral and mental health issues. I was a guidance counselor at Jack M. Barrack Hebrew Academy, where I provided counseling for students struggling with depression, anxiety, and school or family issues. I was also a therapist at St. Francis St. Joseph Homes for Children, where I provided group, family and individual counseling for homeless or displaced boys who often needed support for trauma and grief. Since 2009, I have provided therapy in both a Residential Treatment Facility (RTF) in Portsmouth, VA, and as an independent counselor providing in-office and in-home services in San Antonio, TX and Gambrills, MD. At the RTF, I was a co-leader of the Young Women’s Center, which specialized in intensive care for girls aged 12-18 who required treatment for mood disorders, depression, trauma, anxiety & PTSD. Independently, I've worked virtually with children, adults, blended families, as well as military families & veterans.

Hello! I am a licensed psychologist and licensed marriage and family therapist, with addiitonal post graduate training in emotionally-focused marriage and family therapy. I have tremendous respect for individuals who are open to addressing their difficult experiences. To do so, requires courage, and I will partner with you on this journey. Painful life experiences leave an unfinished learning, and the purpose of therapy is to complete this learning. In individual therapy, I help client’s to say, “No,” without feeling guilty, and to move away from repetitive overthinking. We will address your “inner critic” to help you to be present in relating to others. Individual therapy can address your motivation and vitality, helping you to manage stress, rather than stress managing you. With couples therapy, I help couples stop having the same argument over and over. After infidelity, couples may find the path back to “us.” Partners with parenting differences can learn to collaborate for their kids. I also provide Parent-Child Interaction Therapy for parents of young children, who have temper tantrums, defiance behavior, and/or attention difficulties. Although, I provide therapy for coping with Autism Spectrum Disorder, I do not provide psychological assessment at this time.

Welcome! There is no beauty in "settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living." It is time to be courageous and see what might be causing you to settle.

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 15 years of experience, I strive to create a safe, supportive, and collaborative space where you can explore life's challenges with honesty and curiosity. My role is not to tell you who to be or what decisions to make.

Do you have feelings of hopelessness, sadness, anxiety, maybe you're unmotivated, or need assistance with identifying healthy coping skills? Is your goal to get that joy back in your life? Life isn't always beautiful and perfect, often times it's challenging, frustrating, and confusing. I help my clients acknowledge and experience those unwanted feelings. The idea is to experience them but not to live in them. Making a decision to seek therapy is a courageous one. It is a beautiful start to the healing process, and self-discovery. If you are interested in beginning this brave journey please feel free to reach out to me.

Hi, I’m Alyssa, a licensed clinical social worker who works with teens and adults navigating anxiety, trauma, ADHD, and life transitions. I have over three years of experience helping clients better understand themselves, manage overwhelming emotions, and build healthier relationships with themselves and others. I believe therapy should feel both supportive and practical, so I focus on helping clients gain insight while also learning tools they can use in their everyday lives. My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to each individual, because no two people or journeys are the same.

I’m a master’s‑level therapist with 18 years in the field, and I bring a mix of warmth, directness, and a good sense of humor to the work. I’m highly relational and love getting to know the real person behind the symptoms. I’m also a well‑researched therapy nerd who enjoys blending different approaches to fit each client, not the other way around. I’m eclectic, energetic, and a natural storyteller, and I’ve spent my career helping people make sense of their experiences in a way that feels grounding and empowering. My goal is to create a space where you feel understood, supported, and able to grow at your own pace.
