Therapists in Florida

I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida, and I provide therapy exclusively through telehealth for adults and teens. My goal is to offer a supportive, down-to-earth space where you can explore what’s been weighing on you and begin to make sense of your experiences in a meaningful way. Over the years, I’ve helped clients work through a wide range of challenges, including ADHD, trauma, anxiety, depression, addiction, anger, grief, communication, and major life transitions. I also work with people who feel stuck, unmotivated, or uncertain about their direction in life—those moments when questions about meaning, regret, or identity start to surface. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in evidence-based practices like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and trauma-informed care. I believe therapy is not about “fixing” you—it’s about understanding yourself more fully, finding what works for you, and building a life that feels more balanced, authentic, and fulfilling. I value creating a safe and nonjudgmental space where you can speak freely and be met with genuine empathy and respect. Whether you’re looking to process painful experiences, manage difficult emotions, or gain clarity about your next steps, I’m here to help you navigate that process at your own pace. All sessions are held online for your comfort, privacy, and convenience—making it easier to access support wherever you are in Florida.

Congratulations on taking the first step towards a brighter and healthier future! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) located in Florida with almost a decade of experience and a passion for helping others. Whether you're facing long-term trauma or just trying to get through the week, I’m here to help you make sense of things and move forward with more confidence and self-compassion. I am a native German speaker, so am more than willing to provide therapy in German as well, if requested. In my free time, I enjoy doing arts and crafts, traveling, and being in nature.

Hi. My name is Beth Marsh and I am a licensed mental health counselor living in Florida. I have been practicing since 2000. I have worked in community mental health, large private practices, small private practices, for a professional medicine department with a local university, fancy residential rehab, and as a case manager for a large insurance company. My clients have been diverse and run the gamut in socio-economic status. I enjoy working with most people. My favorite clients are the ones who are ready for a change in their life…no matter how big or small. I enjoy couples counseling with traditional and non traditional couples. I have had a lot of success with clients with anxiety and depression. Sometimes life throws a lot our way and you need a safe place to think, regroup and make a new plan. I can help with that! I am seminary educated and am a Christian, but you do not have to have the same belief system I do. I understand different cultures and religion and love diversity. In the end, we are all humans trying to do the best we can. If you are struggling with a relationship, anxiety, depression, self esteem or stage of life issues, reach out. You do not have to go it alone and there is hope. I am here.

Hi, I am Georgia and I am of Caribbean heritage. I initally began my career in technical problem-solving in the fields of Environmental Science and Engineering, but my deeper calling was always in helping people navigate their own challenges. While working as an engineer, I served my church community as a lay counselor and intercessor, which sparked a growing passion for more meaningful, people-centered work. That calling led me to pursue a degree in Marriage and Family Therapy, and I haven’t looked back since. Today, I serve as both a private practice clinician and a workplace mental health consultant and trainer. This work allows me to blend my analytical skills with a deep commitment to emotional wellbeing—and I truly feel I’ve found my purpose.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I have over 20 years of experience helping adolescents, adults, couples, and older adults facing life challenges. I employ a wide range of therapeutic techniques, that include but are not limited to Cognitive Behavioral, Client centered and Solution focused therapies. Appreciation of the brain body connection helps to bring about change in a substantive way. To begin this change process, I encourage the use of mindfulness for the purpose of calming brain and body. There is no person who is deserving of living in pain, therapy and support can make a difference in how a life is lived.

I have been a therapist for over twenty years. It is an honor to support clients to achieve their goals for joy, peace, and understanding. I enjoy watching clients "find themselves" again after a period of performing on autopilot. Whatever your goals are, I believe that with the right support you will be successful. I am here to listen and to support you as you explore where you are and where you would like to go.

Hi! I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor that has been practicing for over 25 years. I went to the University of South Florida for my Master's degree in Mental Health and Rehabilitative Counseling.

I have experience working with PTSD and dual diagnosis. I look forward to helping you on your journey to better mental health.

Hello, my name is Icaro Franco. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Florida. I received my Masters in Social Work from Florida Atlantic University in 2021. I'm here to help adults ages 18 to 65 who are struggling with depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, body dysmorphia, and performance anxiety. I also help gay & bisexual men with challenges that are unique to them.

What typically surprises people is that I am the 11th of 13 children - all from the same parents. Growing up with so many siblings has given me a great opportunity to learn about family dynamics and effective discipline. My parents did a great job of maintaining a safe and well-behaved home, and I use their example as a template while also incorporating my own experience as a parent for working with families today. As for my approach to therapy, I use several different theories depending on the need of the client; however, my primary mode is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). It just fits my personality. If you are looking for a therapist who focuses solely on your emotions and how you're feeling on any given day, then I will not be a good fit for you. On the other hand, if you're looking for a therapist who not only does all that but who will also listen to everything you say (as well as the meaning behind what you say) and then challenge your thinking habits to help you find more effective and productive thinking patterns, then I'm on board for that. I learned a long time ago that many clients do not want things "Sugar Coated", but rather prefer their therapist to be respectfully bold and blunt. If this is who you are looking for in a therapist, then let's get to work.

With a career spanning over 27 years, I am a distinguished Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida, recognized for my extensive work in both high-paced agency environments and specialized private practice. My professional journey has been defined by a deep-seated commitment to human resilience and a nuanced understanding of the systemic and psychological barriers that impact mental health. Throughout my two and a half decades of practice, I have cultivated a unique expertise in navigating the intersection of culture, socio-economic status, and individual mental health. Having worked with a vast spectrum of clients—from adolescents finding their identity to adults navigating complex life transitions—I bring a seasoned, evidence-based approach to every session. My clinical philosophy goes beyond symptom management; it is rooted in the belief that adversity is a catalyst for profound personal evolution. By integrating a wealth of clinical modalities with a culturally responsive lens, I empower clients to dismantle long-standing obstacles and build a foundation for sustainable health and professional excellence.

I’m a licensed mental health counselor with over a decade of experience supporting individuals who are struggling with depression and anxiety. I understand how isolating and overwhelming it can feel to navigate these challenges, and how much courage it takes to seek support. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, seen, and genuinely supported. My therapeutic approach is rooted in compassion and grounded in evidence-based practices like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I also bring extensive experience in grief work, helping clients move through loss and life transitions with care and understanding. For those who desire it, I’m able to integrate a Christian perspective into our work together. Whether it’s drawing strength from faith, exploring spiritual questions, or grounding our sessions in biblical principles, I honor and support each client’s individual beliefs and values. Healing is a deeply personal journey, and I believe that with the right support, you can overcome what feels impossible today. Together, we’ll work to ease the weight of anxiety or depression, develop meaningful coping strategies, and help you reconnect with hope, purpose, and inner peace.

I believe in the healing that comes when we find our resting place in this fast-paced society; where we can “be” rather than “do”.

Ultimately, I strive to provide a warm, welcoming space for you to be yourself, partnering with you as you take the courageous steps towards reaching your goals.

Hi, I’m Whitney, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (licensed in Florida and Minnesota). I specialize in working with women who are navigating life transitions and feeling stressed, overwhelmed, or emotionally off-balance. Many of the women I support aren’t in crisis—they’re adjusting to change, juggling multiple responsibilities, or noticing that the coping strategies that used to work no longer feel enough. They often come to therapy looking for clarity, validation, and practical tools to help them feel steadier and more confident in this current season of life. My approach to therapy is warm, supportive, and solution-focused. I believe therapy doesn’t have to feel heavy or emotionally overwhelming to be effective. Instead, I offer a calm, compassionate space where you can talk openly, feel understood, and gain insight into what’s contributing to your stress. Together, we focus on building coping skills, strengthening emotional awareness, and finding realistic ways to reduce stress and improve day-to-day balance. I work collaboratively with my clients and tailor therapy to fit your goals, personality, and pace. Our work is often short-term and goal-oriented, with an emphasis on helping you feel better equipped to handle life’s transitions within a few months rather than engaging in long-term, intensive therapy. If you’re looking for a therapist who offers validation, gentle guidance, and practical support during a time of change, I’d be honored to support you.

I hope I can be part of this part of your healing journey.

As a licensed marriage and family therapist and certified life coach, I am here to guide you through the many challenges we face as we navigate life. Since 2005, I have provided a number of specialized therapeutic services to those dealing with challenging life experiences. Patient well-being and satisfaction is my number one priority. I am passionate about working with every individual and their families, whenever needed, to help reach the goals we set together.

As a Latino war veteran and Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I bring both cultural understanding and firsthand experience with resilience, transition, and recovery to my work as a therapist. I am dedicated to supporting individuals navigating crisis, depression, PTSD, and anxiety, offering a compassionate and empowering space for healing. My approach integrates Crisis Stabilization, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Motivational Interviewing, helping clients build coping strategies, strengthen emotional well-being, and rediscover balance in their lives. Drawing from my military and cultural background, I strive to connect authentically with each client and guide them toward meaningful growth and stability.

Welcome to my practice… Whether you’re adjusting to a new chapter, carrying the weight of loss, or feeling overwhelmed by stress, I provide a safe and supportive space to reconnect with your strength and values. I use evidence-based approaches like ACT, mindfulness, and solution-focused therapy to help you move forward with purpose — even when life feels heavy. 17+ years of supporting others from various backgrounds and life circumstances, I am honored to serve with you in this journey.
