Therapists near me in Jacksonville, FL

I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the State of Florida with over ten years of professional experience working primarily with clients who have experienced trauma or who have PTSD. I have specialized experience working with people who have been involved in cults or high-control groups. I believe that everyone can benefit from counseling. We all have situations and phases of our lives where it's helpful to have a neutral sounding board. We can all benefit from having a person who listens and really hears what we're saying and a place we feel safe to say anything at all without fear of judgment. Whether you are struggling with a long-term problem or you're trying to navigate a new situation, I can provide the space and support you need as we work together toward your goals.

"You are your best thing"-Toni Morrison. Growing through this journey we call life will unfortunately bring things you can't control & it's not always easy to cope & it's not always easy to talk to someone. Going to therapy doesn't "fix" you. It enhances you, it helps you to better understand why you struggle with certain patterns & behaviors & why you feel stuck at times. So, pat yourself on the back for choosing yourself, right now in this moment & for making the right decision to strive beyond where you are. Know you don't have to walk this journey alone. I'm a diverse & creative therapist who is passionate about helping people rise above unfortunate obstacles to help them reach a potential they didn't know they had within them. Yes, you have the potential to be a better version of yourself. It has always been there. It's the inner strength you haven't tapped into yet. Some of my specialties are helping individuals who struggle with: low-self esteem, relationship issues, PTSD, over-thinking, boundary setting, codependency, low-confidence, self-worth & perfectionism, high achiever's. Ask yourself this one question in this very moment, what's holding you back? Let's walk this journey together. You got this!

Hi there, I am Charly. As a clinical therapist, I admire your willingness to seek therapy support. I want to offer understanding, and empathic emotional support to assist anyone experiencing emotional distress. Most individuals experiencing acute emotional distress due to mental health conditions often fail to realize that unresolved, deep emotional pain or heartache they are silently accepting or tolerating is not healthiest coping style. And, the European/Australian research based talk therapy called, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), offers us a unique way to understand and cope with Life. ACT proposes that the lack of the capacity for "Psychological Flexibility" in our thinking due to unresolved past difficulties and inner value conflicts. This causes our brain's default, or Survival Mode functioning to take over without our intentional know ledge and awareness. However, decades of Psychological research shows us that we are born with the inherent capacity for change and life is not a curse, but, is a blessing for us to experience. As, your therapist, I am willing to support you in exploring your difficulty or distress and examine the mental barriers or psychological blinders causing you to feel internally conflicted and stuck. Some of my past and current clients tell me that "my ability to relate to them with an open mind and withholding personal judgment and a solution-focused perspective," helps them to feel at ease and connect with me and my style of therapy. I follow an eclectic approach to therapy, drawing from academic learning, experiential knowledge, and over 30 years of learning and clinical experience using evidence-based treatment modalities. I have training and experience in the following major treatment modalities such as CBT, REBT, SFBT, ACT, Mindfulness, and specifically to deal with trauma, a newer form of Rapid Eye Movement Therapy (Accelerated Resolution Therapy).

I'm Jeani Hobbs, LCSW, and I'm passionate about helping adults navigate grief, loss, and life's most challenging transitions. I believe everyone deserves a safe, compassionate space where they can feel heard, understood, and supported without judgment. With five years of clinical experience, I have worked with individuals from diverse backgrounds facing bereavement, health challenges, relationship changes, and significant life transitions. My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to each person's unique needs, recognizing that grief looks different for everyone and there is no right or wrong timeline for healing. I understand that loss extends beyond the death of a loved one. It can include changes in health, independence, relationships, identity, or the future we once imagined. These experiences can leave us feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or uncertain about what comes next. My goal is to help clients process these emotions, develop healthy coping strategies, reconnect with their strengths, and discover ways to move forward while honoring what they have experienced. My specialized training helps me approach each person's story with sensitivity and compassion. I believe therapy should meet you where you are, whether you need space to process difficult emotions, support through an unexpected change, or help finding hope during an especially difficult season. I also respect the importance of personal values and beliefs in the healing process. I offer faith-friendly and secular approaches, creating a therapeutic experience that aligns with each client's preferences. You don't have to have all the answers before beginning therapy, and you don't have to face life's hardest moments alone. I would be honored to walk alongside you as you navigate your experiences, rediscover your resilience, and find a path toward healing and renewed meaning. Together, we can make room for both grief and hope as you move toward a life that feels meaningful to you.

If there's one thing that's taught me, it's that healing looks different for everyone.

I look forward to meeting and working with you. I am a licensed mental health counselor with a certification as a clinical trauma professional. I moved from Pennsylvania in 2019 as I could not handle winter anymore and needed to be somewhere warm! I have two Master of Arts degrees from Kutztown University - one in Counseling Psychology (obtained in 1995) and the other in School Counseling (obtained in 2004). I started in mental health therapy in 1995, moved into substance abuse counseling for several years, then to school counseling while I raised my son for 18 yrs, and now have returned to mental health/substance use counseling as that is my passion. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my husband doing outdoor activities - especially riding the Harley and going out on the water. I love to exercise and walk daily and enjoy knitting in my spare time. Everyone in life (including therapists at times) need someone to talk to in order to help resolve problems, manage stress, process trauma or enhance coping skills. I believe in looking at what you want to accomplish as the goal of therapy and then working on skills to achieve that goal. I utilize trauma stabilization and reprocessing strategies, cognitive-behavioral techniques as well as person-centered and solution focused techniques. I believe everyone has the tools inside them to achieve their goals; it is just about unlocking them and utilizing them. I have worked extensively with trauma survivors in addition to clients dealing with depression, anxiety, eating and substance use disorders. I have worked with the LGTBQ+ community. I enjoy working with all clients but prefer working with those ages 8 and older. I offer individual, couples, and family counseling.

You carry big responsibilities, and it’s been heavy for too long. At PBH Behavioral Consulting and Counseling LLC (PBHBCC), 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. Constant stress and exhaustion aren’t the cost of success. Drive and focus don’t make you immune to anxiety, burnout, sleepless racing thoughts, shame, manipulation, family complexity, or the echo of old injuries. Excellence doesn’t require perfection and saying no is okay. With over a decade of experience across multiple states, I blend psychotherapy with practical solutions by offering confidential, results-focused care tailored to your unique world. I also provide corporate mental health training, parent coordination, custody evaluations, co-parenting, reunification, and other psycho-legal consultations all delivered with discretion, expertise, and a deep understanding of high-stakes environments.
