My passion is to help those who are feeling stuck. Perhaps you are trying to get out of an abusive relationship, or maybe just got out of one. Maybe you have experienced childhood traumas with your family, friends, or peers. Or, maybe you have daily stress you need to work through. Regardless of what it is, I enjoy working with those going through racing thoughts, anxiety, depression, panic worry and helping them learn to relax their nervous system.

"When you make peace with yourself, you make peace with the world"
As adults, we are responsible for changing things not because we are to blame for these things, but because we are the only ones who CAN change them. That can feel unfair, and it is. But it can also be empowering- you are the catalyst for personal change, you can always take a turn or step in a different direction, you can always act differently, feel differently, and (with the right tools and assistance) heal. I am here to help you with this noble work.
As a mental health professional, I am passionate about helping others feel more whole, hopeful and effective by developing deeper self-knowledge, self-respect, compassion, resilience and coping skills.

I began my work in the field in 2007 and have been fully licensed since 2017. I consider myself to be an exceptionally empathetic and caring counselor who meets my clients where they're at. I will push my clients to experience emotions and to sit with them in ways they haven't before. However, I do this in a safe manner where we simply expand the limits each time and create safety in each session to fully allow the client to embrace the process. I strive to help my clients make sense of their life and the experiences they've had. I have great respect for each individual's journey and understand there is value in all of us. I strive for all of my clients to feel seen, heard, respected, accepted, and not judged. From the very first session, my clients feel heard through my exceptional empathic listening skills. I ask evocative questions to get to the heart of the matter and to push the client to think more in depth and perhaps even with a different perspective about struggles or experiences that have caused them strife.

Have you experienced something frightening happen to you that even when you try hard, you still think about it? Does it keep you up at night? Does it make it hard to concentrate? Are you feeling overwhelmed with anxiety and/or depression? Sometimes when frightening things happen we have a hard time letting go. This is where therapy can help. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder can happen to all of us. It can happen from something we experience or what is called secondary trauma, from witnessing something that happening to someone else.
I would be honored to help you as you move through time in your life to empower you to be the best version of you!

My name is Richelle Direny, I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Qualified Supervisor with more than 14 years of experience. I am honored to join your journey towards personal growth and well-being. I am committed to helping each individual learn how to cope with the stress of life, having too many responsibilities, anxiety, setting clear boundaries, and coping with decline in functioning and other stressors in life. Through my practice, I utilize various therapeutic modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Emotional Awareness techniques, and Faith-Based Therapy, to name a few. My aim is to help you become the best version of yourself while managing whatever season of life may arise for you. My extensive experience spans various settings and populations. I have worked with teenagers, parents, employing Multisystemic Therapy (MST), an evidence-based modality that addresses all the interdependent systems within an individual’s life. Furthermore, I have had the honor of serving veterans through the Veterans Affairs system as well as individuals dealing with substance abuse through individual and group therapy sessions. I firmly believe in the power of creating an engaging therapeutic relationship where you feel heard, validated, and supported. Together, we will explore your strengths and challenges to recognize and overcome any barriers or hurdles to leading a more fulfilling life. My ultimate aim is to give you tools, insights, and strategies for positive transformation that lead to long-term change for a more fulfilled existence.

If your mind is running in circles or you're feeling disconnected from yourself, you are in the right place! Hi, I'm Gessica (Like Jessica, but with a "G")- a licensed mental health counselor with over a decade of experience helping people untangle the overwhelmed and move forward with confidence. I specialize in supporting women and young adults through life's big (and often messy) transitions. Whether you're navigating pregnancy or postpartum challenges, dealing with anxiety that won't quiet down, or working through grief of a breakup or shift in identity, you're not alone- and you don't have to figure it out by yourself. My style is down-to-earth, collaborative, and focused on helping you find practical solutions without feeling judged or rushed. I'm especially passionate about working with clients through perinatal mental health issues, relationship and identity struggles, and the anxiety that often comes with major life changes, like divorce, becoming a parent, moving to a new city, or starting a new career. If you're ready to feel more like yourself again, I'd be happy to be part of your journey!

Orlando, FL - Accepting clients in FL
I work with the client's envisioned goals in mind first and foremost. I want to be able to build upon someone's strengths and eliminate feelings of inferiority. I like to help people work towards the best version of themselves and to gain independence by pushing past their limitations. If you find that you don't have the confidence to approach life and accomplish your goals then let's have a conversation and make this possible for you again. I truly believe everyone is capable of pushing past their limitations if given the insight and willingness to step out of their comfort zones.
*** I'm currently running a special offer for any gamers out there. I will provide the first session free if you beat me in a best-of-3 set in Super Smash Bros Ultimate or Clash Royale. Feel free to send me a message or contact me at the phone number listed on my profile for details.
