Therapists in Florida

Hi, my name is Maria Brooks and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over six years of experience providing psychotherapy to adults facing a range of life’s challenges. I specialize in helping individuals navigate day-to-day stressors, life transitions, and emotional struggles that can impact their mental health and overall well-being. With a compassionate approach, I empower my clients by providing tools and strategies to better cope with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and other personal obstacles. My therapeutic style emphasizes building trust, fostering self-awareness, and promoting growth through understanding and actionable change. Whether working with teens adjusting to school pressures or adults balancing work and family responsibilities, I tailors my approach to meet the unique needs of each individual I serves.

Hello There!!! I'm so excited to meet you! I am a LCSW that is based here in the state of Florida. I graduated with a Master's in Social Work from Florida State University. I have a history of serving clients in a vast array of ages. I specialize in working with families, couples, individuals and adolescents. I specialize in the field of trauma, and can help you find your path of healing! This is the time to navigate your emotions and find out what is best for you! I so look forward to meeting with you and also your family.

Since becoming a counselor, I have worked in a variety of community counseling settings. I have worked with clients from ages 3 through 80 and with individuals, couples, and families. With that breadth of experience, very little shocks or surprises me and I have gotten a pretty good sense of where the types of counseling that play to my strengths as a counselor overlap with the types of counseling that are helpful for my clients. This sense (along with learning about lots and lots of research into what helps people find and maintain mental health) has led to the following guiding principles that shape all the counseling I do: 1) The client is always in charge. I know a lot of things but you will always be the one who decides what you want to get out of counseling, how we work towards that goal, whether or not what we’re doing seems to be working, and when we’re done. 2) Change and health happen through relationships. No matter what you come in for, there are always relational implications of change and relational factors that contribute to whatever it is that you came to counseling to change. 3) Counseling should be efficient. Counseling has significant costs in time and money. I think the benefits far outweigh the costs but if I can give you the benefits while helping you save on the costs then I want to do that.

Sometimes people experience emotional problems (e.g., anxiety, depression), behavioral problems (e.g., overeating, smoking), or relationship problems (e.g., excessive arguing, poor communication) that interfere with their daily functioning. These difficulties result from the interaction of biological, learning, behavioral, and environmental factors, which influence patterns of thinking and behaving. Negative life events can contribute to the development of self-defeating patterns of thinking and behaving, which some people can have difficulty changing. In my work, which I have been practicing for 42 years, I help people identify these self-defeating patterns and develop strategies for dealing with them. I emphasize the importance of practicing these strategies consistently, with the goal of handling emotions more effectively and behaving in more responsible and healthy ways. I focus on life pattern changes with respect to relationships, depression, anxiety, anger control, impulse control, and stress management.

My name is Erica Thompson, and I am a Mental Health Therapist with over 10 years of experience. Being a therapist is a truly rewarding profession that allows me to support, guide, and empower others as they navigate life’s challenges. My passion lies in helping individuals grow, heal, and discover their strengths so they can live healthier, more fulfilling lives.

As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I believe in the power of emotional support to build resilience and personal strength during challenging times. It's not always easy to admit we may need help, but doing so is a kind of empowerment all its own. I have 23 years' experience in education (10 as a school counselor) and 4 in clinical practice. My main focus is working with individuals struggling with anxiety and depression, and those who have experienced trauma.

Trained as a psychologist (Ph.D. from Cornell University). Some 20 years later I earned a second graduate degree in Marriage & Family Therapy. I am a fully licensed therapist in the State of Florida. I have taught psychology at Princeton, Tulane, Cornell, and Harvard Medical School. We will spend most of our time creating solutions, instead of analyzing problems. So often, therapy gets bogged down in the endless exploration of problems. Problems are the results of behaviors that didn't work for you in the past. Solutions flow from changes that will work for you starting right now. Solutions make your life better. They bring joy and peace to your life.

Hi, my name is Toni-Anne and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I enjoy helping people feel seen, supported, and understood as they navigate life’s challenges.

I use my clinical skills and compassion to build rapport with clients and help them develop healthier coping habits going forward.

I help ambitious women redefine success, thrive, and embrace a softer approach to life. I guide you in formulating a plan to let go of the "I have to do it, or it won't get done" mindset and lead a balanced life through self-discovery. Many therapy approaches focus on a single issue, but life is rarely that simple. I have an integrative approach that combines traditional talk therapy with humor, insight, and intuition. Together, we will prioritize a plan that addresses each of your concerns.

Everyone wants to feel seen and understood — that’s the heart of my work. My goal is to create a space where you can be honest, curious, and supported as you figure things out. I’m certified in EMDR, Circle of Security Parenting International and TF-CBT, and I use a mix of evidence-based approaches, sarcasm, and real talk to help you feel seen and supported. Therapy with me is collaborative, grounded, and occasionally lighthearted — because healing is serious, but it doesn’t always have to feel heavy. I’m a therapist who won't just pat you on the back and agree with everything you say; I will make you feel seen and understood while also challenging you, holding you accountable, and pushing you toward becoming the best version of yourself and the person you want to be.

You are the expert of your own life and I will ensure that you have the tools to work through whatever struggles may arise. Therapy is hard work and it is very important that clients see the benefits of their dedication.

My journey to counseling has been both personal and professional. Before becoming a therapist, I spent nearly two decades working in the nonprofit world—helping people navigate challenges, systems, and life transitions. In my 30s, I went back to school to earn my master’s degree in Counseling and Psychology from Troy University and became a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. I’ve been practicing since 2014, seeing clients in person through 2020 and virtually ever since. Along the way, I’ve experienced my own seasons of loss, grief, family challenges, and major life transitions—including surviving cancer. Those experiences gave me a deep respect for the courage it takes to ask for help and the strength required to keep moving forward. I bring that understanding into every session, creating a space that is compassionate, grounded, and genuinely human. I am licensed in both Florida and Vermont and currently offer virtual therapy to adults who are going through life transitions—whether building their careers, managing family responsibilities, or moving through midlife changes. I also work with clients who are struggling with symptoms like anxiety, depression, trauma, and challenges related to chronic illness. I am licensed in both Florida and Vermont, and practice 100% virtual therapy.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and a Board Certified Art Therapist, and my approach is strength based and client centered.

I look forward to working with individuals on their own journey of personal growth and healing.

I also work with the geriatric population, providing compassionate support around issues like grief, loss, adjustment to life changes, and mental wellness in later life. I tailor my approach to each stage of life, offering a warm, respectful space for growth, healing, and connection.

My name is Nikki Caravella and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the State of Florida. I earned my Undergraduate Degree in Social Work at Youngstown State University in 1996 and my Master's Degree at Case Western Reserve University in 1998. Since that time, I have had the privilege of working with a diverse group of clients. Each of them came into service bringing a unique history and presenting with equally distinct needs and expectations of counseling. As a therapist, I treat a wide range of mental health issues and life adjustment challenges. I am experienced in helping clients relieve anxiety using various techniques, including neuro-linguistic programming. For those who have suffered past traumatic events, we can use cognitive/behavioral tools to help reconcile the emotions connected to the events. If you happen to live in or near Ocala and are able to come in person for session, we can utilize a treatment called Accelerated Resolution Therapy to neutralize heightened emotional responses.

There are times in all of our lives when we experience challenging emotional situations. When these situations arrive we can benefit from the support of a person outside of our inner circle. Whether you are struggling with an crisis or change in your life, or even if you are just feeling mildly upset, it can take a toll on your life. Everyone can benefit from psychotherapy. No problem is too minor, severe, or unusual to be explored and healed. I approach my clients with care so that together we can built a plan that will help them achieve their goals.

I enjoy supporting individuals who are navigating life transitions, experiencing emotional overwhelm, or seeking a deeper connection with themselves, others, or their purpose.

My person-centered approach blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Solution-Focused techniques to support sustainable, meaningful growth. I see therapy not as a process of “fixing,” but as one of deep understanding, alignment, and empowerment. The impact I aim to leave is more than symptom relief; it’s about helping you build resilience, clarity, and confidence that lasts beyond our sessions. I hope that you leave each conversation feeling more grounded, more seen, and more capable of creating the life you want.

I am licensed in Florida with more than 20 years of professional work experience. I have been employed with the same community agency for more than 20 years (yeah I'm not a quiter). I have extensive experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, coping with addictions, anger management, domestic violence, criminal justice issues, relationship issues, and parenting issues. I am a firm believer that you are the expert of your story!

By taking the first step to sign up for therapy, it takes courage and for that I am proud of you for getting started!

I predominantly work with young men struggling with social anxiety disorder. Do you struggle with social anxiety and poor self-confidence? I know that overcoming it is possible! Many come to therapy for social anxiety because of childhood trauma and how it has manifested in their adult lives. Often this manifests in feelings of poor self-confidence, poor self-worth, and poor self-confidence. At its root, the fundamental belief of those who have social anxiety is the belief, “I am not enough.” Clients get into the habit of comparing themselves to others and it makes them feel inadequate and insecure. Over time clients begin to avoid situations that elicit their anxiety, particularly social situations. This can lead to social isolation and loneliness. Clients will present with complaints of frequent panic attacks, not having a romantic partner, not having friends, not being happy in their jobs and feeling disconnected from life. They are labeled by others as shy, quiet, or introverted. This scenario described myself for much of my life which gives me lived experience to better able to assist you.
