Therapists in Florida

Hi! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida with a Master’s degree in Social Work from Florida State University. I’ve been in practice for seven years and specialize in helping individuals of all ages navigate anxiety and the everyday stressors of life. I’m passionate about walking alongside my clients as they work through their fears and challenges, empowering them to become the person they were created to be. For clients who desire it, I also incorporate faith-based principles into the therapeutic process, offering a space where both emotional and spiritual growth can take place. My approach to therapy is primarily supportive and grounded in a faith-based perspective. I strive to create a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, valued, and encouraged. I often incorporate biblical guidance to help individuals make sense of the trials and stressors that come with being human, offering both emotional support and spiritual insight. Whether you're facing anxiety, life transitions, or simply feeling overwhelmed, my goal is to walk alongside you—helping you find peace, clarity, and purpose through both practical strategies and faith-based reflection.

Hello! I’m Kenneth Todd, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over a decade of experience helping individuals, couples, and families move toward the lives they truly want. I earned my degree from the University of West Florida and have worked across diverse settings, always guided by one core belief: you are the expert on your life. My approach is rooted in Solution Focused Therapy (SFT) — a dynamic, forward-looking method that emphasizes your strengths, your vision, and your capacity for change. SFT is built on four pillars: • Description: What does your best life look like? • Difference: What’s already working, even a little? • Change: What small steps can build momentum? • Outcome: What will life be like when things improve? Together, we’ll explore your goals, uncover your inner resources, and build a path toward meaningful outcomes. Whether you're navigating a life transition, seeking clarity, or simply want to feel more like yourself again — I’m here to help you discover who you are at your best. Kenneth Todd Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), Certified Solution-Focused Practitioner - L2 (CSFP-L2)

Take a few minutes to learn a little about me. If something resonates with you, I'd love the opportunity to support you on your journey. I am a compassionate and goal-oriented therapist who specializes in supporting individuals navigating ADHD, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. I strive to create a safe, supportive, and welcoming space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered. As a person of faith, I value purpose and perseverance, and I believe healing involves caring for the mind, emotions, and overall well-being. My faith reminds me that every person has inherent worth, which shapes the way I listen, connect, and walk alongside clients as they heal and grow. My values help guide the empathy, encouragement, and support I bring into the therapeutic space. My therapeutic approach is collaborative, direct, and rooted in kindness. I utilize evidence-based approaches including CBT, DBT, Solution-Focused Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, and Humanistic techniques to help clients build practical tools, increase emotional insight, and create meaningful change. I believe healing is about growing into a healthier version of yourself while remaining connected to your authentic identity and values.

My goal is to help clients feel empowered, supported, and capable of moving forward with greater confidence, balance, and self-understanding. Its time for you to feel like you again!!

Hello, my name is Luiza and I am the owner/therapist of FIT MIND counseling services. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in FL & MA and a Licensed Professional Counselor in DC, GA & VA. I am from Brazil, and I speak Portuguese as well :) I can understand Spanish pretty well too, but I do not speak fluently. FIT MIND counseling services enjoys empowering clients finding a more meaningful way to live their lives and assisting them learning about the importance of self-love. Helping clients to focus on themselves and on their self-care is a precious thing. When they learn to embrace and unconditionally love for being themselves, they become stronger in the face of negativity and more able to hold onto positive thoughts when faced with challenges. Mental illness is as real as any physical illness. We talk normally about cancer and diabetes, although the same should apply to mental illness. Emotional and mental health are just as important as the physical health of a human being. The emotional trauma that a brain endures in various of the human life cycle can be damaging and in the long run, just as detrimental as a psychical illness. People donate their organs, but they cannot donate their brains. Some people live with human-made hearts, but there is no such thing as human-made brains. I believe that our brain is the most important organ in our human body, so why don’t we start taking good care of it? Therapy is not only for people with mental illness. Therapy is for everyone. We all have faced or currently face some hardships in life. Talking to a therapist can help you deeply in improving your mental health, decrease your stress and live with more joy and intention!

Hi! My name is Semir. Are you looking for a way to develop skills to overcome anxiety, depression, and other issues within your life? Well, together we can work on creating a plan to achieve your goals. Therapy is a collaborative effort we will focus on catering it to your needs. Whether you have anxiety, depression, struggling with substance use, trauma, and mood disorders. We can develop strategies to empower you to be the best you. I have 4-years of experience working with those suffering from trauma, anxiety, depression, substance use, and other forms of issues. I use a variety of therapeutic modalities to address a variety of issues. I provide EMDR therapy, CBT therapy, or DBT therapy depending on your needs. I believe what makes therapy successful is the relationship you form with your therapist. Therefore, my approach is to create a safe, and empowering environment for you to feel supported. Seeking help can be a scary first step but it is the first step to positive change. If you feel ready to make that first step, let's get started!

Overwhelmed? Trouble saying "no" to people? Do you sometimes feel like you're making decisions based on other people's opinions/wants/needs/expectations over your own? Are your feelings and needs getting neglected? Or maybe talking about feelings is just really difficult for you, as it is for most people. It's common to avoid communication all together because it just feels like conflict. I am an openly a queer person, running a private practice since 2021, but practicing therapy full-time since 2018. I focus on trauma work, anxiety, shame, identity exploration, and boundaries/setting limits! When I say trauma work, sometimes people always assume the most extreme - but with all clients I find it beneficial to reflect on impactful or very painful past experiences and how it shapes our relationships and present-day life. I can offer you a better understanding and education of your body's nervous system, because the mind and body are connected, and trauma is held within our bodies. My goal is to work with you on improving self-awareness, understanding your automatic reactions, and having direct coping tools based on your specific experiences and mental health symptoms, so you can enjoy the present and feel more free and in control. I’ll help you identify your unmet needs and your emotions, and practice better communication and conflict-resolution often, too. However as educational, direct, and action-oriented I try to be, I also work from a place of compassion. Therapy is very vulnerable! I am ultimately giving you the space and time to get any current worries off your mind, and I try to always work from a place of patience, empathy, and flexibility, too. I've been in the client's chair many times, and I know exactly how important it is to feel free to talk without being judged.

I am an LMHC therapist, public speaker, community organizer, social and environmental activist, and have been listening for decades. My Master of Clinical Psychotherapy, 2013 came from the University of North Florida. I experienced a Clinical Pastoral Education, in deep listening. I worked in the Talk program at Wounded the warriors talked; I listened. Trauma Supportive Therapy is used to safely address, as slowly as need be, the pain of the past that keeps coming to trip your defenses in the present at all the wrong moments. I can be that supporting presence who will help sort it out by listening, sincerely hearing you, reflecting the depth of your feelings back to you. I practice the therapy of defining personal meaning, so, together we will think about your options, planning, purpose, and goals for living a meaningful life without being afraid of tripping over your past or yourself. I practice person centered therapy by meeting you where you are. I strive to be culturally sensitive, non-prejudicial and use strength-based therapy as a jump point, truly believing I am the guide for you, but you are the treasures and wisdom keeper. Of all the reasons people come to therapy: anger, guilt, anxiety, changes, transitions, depression, trauma, jealousy, and “it is just not working anymore”, the extra burden of race and racism is more than just a nuance to be nodded at in therapy. I will view race as central to all the other pieces, when it is central to you. I am inclusive, secular, competent, affirming, and non-judgmental. I have worked with people in transition, people who are very much defined, “but things got complicated”, people in the communities of LGBTQA, Polyamory, Kink, non-gendered. Each are safe and welcome here.

Hi, my name is Vijaya Siddalingappa also known as VJ. I am a licensed clinical psychologist PhD, and currently practice in Florida. I have been in the mental health field for 25 years. I speak 2 additional languages( Hindi and Kannada) and I am currently offering telehealth appointments. I am very happy to be a part of the Grow community! I have a holistic approach with a non judgmental stance as I believe each individual is unique. So I tailor interventions to client's needs and not use "one size fits all" approach. I have an unconditional approach and appreciate diversity in each person accentuating their strengths. I use passive approach (providing space for venting their feelings) and an active approach by teaching cognitive behavioral skills which clients can easily learn and use these skills when needed. I like to cook, exercise, watch football and volunteer at community events for the less fortunate. I maintain a healthy balance with work, recreation and self- care. I work hard and play hard! My experience includes working with adults, geriatrics, children and women in outpatient and inpatient settings. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, (CBT); Dialectical Behavioral therapy (DBT); Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT); and Trauma focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TFCBT). I am also passionate about individual differences and multicultural studies. My expertise is working with addictions (dual diagnosis), trauma, depression, anxiety, bipolar, Obsessive compulsive disorders, schizophrenia, domestic violence and sexual abuse, stress management, loss and grief, and adjustment disorders. We never arrive! I learn something new and grow every day. Look forward to working with you!

Hello! I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor from Puerto Rico based in Orlando, Florida, who blends warmth with structure to help you make real, measurable progress. I primarily work with Hispanic families, supporting parents, partners, and teens to untangle intergenerational patterns, navigate acculturation stressors, strengthen communication, and rebuild secure attachment while honoring culture, values, and family bonds. My style is active and evidence-based: expect a mix of DBT and solution-focused tools for quick wins, emotionally focused and attachment-informed work to get to the root, motivational interviewing to strengthen follow-through, and mindfulness skills to steady your nervous system. The clients often tell me they appreciate that I validate deep feelings without losing sight of action, and that I’m direct while still being kind. I bring a longstanding passion for psychology and a strong sense of fairness; that shows up as advocacy for your needs, thoughtful attention to context and culture, and a steady focus on rebuilding self-trust. I especially enjoy working with women, helping professionals, and busy parents who want both a safe space and a clear plan. When you’re ready, you can book a session directly from this profile.
