Therapists in Florida

Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, but you do not have to navigate life's challenges alone. Whether you are dealing with anxiety, navigating a major life transition, working through past trauma, or simply seeking a clearer understanding of yourself, I provide a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental space to help you heal and grow. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who relocated from NY State to Florida and have been practicing for over 30 years. I enjoy teaching (and practicing) coping skills for stress, anxiety and depression. Everyone's journey is different and I see myself as respectfully accompanying one on their own journey, reflecting on experiences along the way.

Hi! My name is Vania Astudillo, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Florida with over four years of experience supporting individuals through a wide range of life challenges. Whether you're navigating stress, anxiety, life transitions, or just looking for personal growth, I'm here to support you every step of the way. I truly believe that therapy is a powerful tool for healing and self-discovery, and I feel honored to walk alongside my clients on their journey. You don’t have to go through things alone—together, we’ll work toward creating meaningful, lasting change in your life.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a doctorate in social work, but those credentials only tell you part of who I am. I’m direct, curious, compassionate, and neurodivergent. I have ADHD, which means I understand firsthand that the way someone’s brain works doesn’t always fit the expectations placed on them. I also know that understanding yourself and figuring out what actually works for you aren’t necessarily the same thing. My approach to therapy is conversational, collaborative, and sometimes unconventional. I ask questions, appreciate humor, and believe there’s room for both compassion and accountability. I won’t shame you for struggling, but I also won’t pretend that meaningful change happens without effort. I’ve worked with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and veterans, and I draw from a variety of therapeutic approaches rather than expecting everyone to fit into one particular method. I believe therapy works best when we can both be genuine. You don’t have to agree with everything I say, and I don’t expect you to have everything figured out when you walk through the door.

Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unheard? Struggling to navigate life’s unexpected challenges? Do past experiences or unresolved issues hold you back from living fully? I provide a safe and non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings. Together, we will develop personalized strategies tailored to your unique experiences and goals. Therapy is a collaborative process, and I believe in working closely with you to understand your needs, strengths, and challenges. This partnership allows us to explore different perspectives, identify patterns in your thinking and behavior, and create new pathways for growth As a culturally competent therapist trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I am here to support you in your journey toward healing and growth. My focus is on working with clients who face a range of challenges, including depression, anxiety, major life changes, unhealthy relationships and generational trauma. Together, we can work on setting and achieving both small and long-term goals. In our work together, we will focus on progress, not perfection. Your imperfections are not flaws—they are a fundamental part of who you are. By embracing them, we can work toward creating a life that feels authentic, fulfilling, and true to you.

I'm here to acknowledge that reaching out for support can be both challenging and empowering. Life often throws us curveballs, and it's okay to seek assistance when things feel overwhelming. Whether you're grappling with stress, life transitions, relationship dynamics, or just the daily grind, know that you're not alone in your journey. In our work together, my primary focus is on understanding what you're going through right now. I'm not here to overwhelm you with technicalities; rather, I want to hear your story, understand your experiences, and explore the challenges that brought you to this point. Our conversations will revolve around your current feelings, thoughts, and the goals you may have for our time together. I am committed to creating a space where you feel heard, supported, and validated. The goal is simple: to help you feel better as quickly as possible. I approach therapy with the intention of providing practical support and guidance, tailored to your unique situation. Together, we'll work towards fostering positive changes and enhancing your overall well-being. So, whether you're seeking clarity, coping strategies, or just a compassionate ear, let's embark on this journey together. Your well-being is at the forefront of our conversations, and my aim is to support you in navigating life's challenges with resilience and a sense of empowerment.

I help everyday people individuals, teens, and couples work through the stress, trauma, and conflict that build up in a real life. Some of the people I see are carrying the weight of high-pressure work like the military, healthcare, or first response; others are just tired of holding it all together on their own. Either way, you get the same thing: a grounded, nonjudgmental space to say what's really going on, and practical tools to build a life that feels purposeful instead of just managed.

You carry big responsibilities, and it’s been heavy for too long. I work with executives, founders, business owners, and high-performing professionals who balance demanding careers with the responsibilities of being partners and parents. Together, we transform overwhelm, perfectionism, chronic stress, and work-life imbalance into clarity, resilience, and purposeful action. We will identify blind spots, remove roadblocks, and build workable boundaries so you can lead well at work, show up at home, and feel grounded in your relationships.

Hi, I’m Abby, and I love supporting individuals who seem to have it all together on the outside, yet internally are navigating anxiety, overwhelm, stress, or a sense of disconnection.

Together, we’ll explore the underlying patterns shaping your experiences and work toward greater emotional clarity, resilience, and self-understanding.

I enjoy encouraging others who are struggling with anxiety, depression, grief and loss, as well as life transitions and changes. I have counseled with others for more than 20 years, in many different age groups and areas, from children to seniors and those struggling with issues surrounding life changes and transitions, chronic illness, disabilities and grief and loss. As of late, I have been working with others who are feeling anxious and depressed, isolated and fearful, as many have been struggling with since the beginning of the pandemic. I look forward to meeting you and walking along side of you through your journey!

Do you feel anxious about getting through the day? Do you feel overwhelmed by everyday tasks? Does the thought of pushing through another day make you feel sad or depressed? Do you wonder if life could be easier and if there’s a better way? If you should somehow feel happier? Now, more than ever more and more people are feeling anxious, overwhelmed, and uncertain.
