Therapists near me in Orlando, FL

Hi, I’m Lilliam Pastora, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 6 years of experience helping adults navigate life’s challenges and create meaningful, lasting change. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based care. I support clients in building insight, strengthening coping skills, and reconnecting with their values—so they can move through difficult seasons with more clarity, confidence, and self-compassion. I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, and eating disorders, and I also enjoy working with men around topics like emotional regulation, self-worth, perfectionism, interpersonal relationships, and personal growth. My goal is to provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can feel understood while learning practical tools to support healing and long-term wellbeing.

You may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where ti turn next. Whether you're navigating anxiety, trauma, depression, ADHD/ADD, or stressful life changes, you don't have to go through it alone. My role is to help you feel heard, supported, and equipped with tools to create the life you want. As a mom of two, I understand firsthand the challenges of balancing personal, family, and professional responsibilities. My perspective as both a parent and a clinician helps me connect deeply with my clients as they navigate life's transitions. I earned my Master's in Social Work from the University of Central Florida and have over a decade of experience as a social worker in school and community-based settings. This background enriches my current work as a therapist, allowing me to blend clinical expertise with real-world understanding.

Hi there! Many of us struggle in silence to overcome the challenges we face, but you no longer have to face that battle alone. From someone who has had their own personal struggles with mental health, I want you to know that you are not alone. I strive to create a space for you to feel seen, heard, and safe. As someone who has been to therapy, I understand how difficult it can be to take that next step. Finding the right therapist can be hard. Finding someone to support you, challenge you, and hold space for the things most people in our life have no idea we are facing. I would be honored to be that space for you. I hope we can work together to help you reach your goals. While the first step is acknowledging the change you need, it takes courage to recognize you need some guidance. It takes even more courage to initiate those first steps towards improving your life.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who works with adults and mature teens navigating stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, burnout, and major life transitions. Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, capable individuals who appear to be functioning well on the outside while internally feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, stuck, or unsure why life no longer feels like theirs. My approach is practical, collaborative, and grounded. Therapy is a space to slow down, think more clearly, and better understand the patterns driving stress, overthinking, emotional disconnection, and relationship struggles. Together, we work toward meaningful changes that feel sustainable in everyday life. I use structured, evidence-based approaches including CBT, ACT, DBT, mindfulness-based strategies, and attachment-focused work to help clients respond more effectively to stress, relationships, and internal pressure. Before becoming a therapist, I spent more than 20 years in leadership and project-based roles across multiple industries and cultures, including over a decade working throughout Latin America. I speak Spanish fluently, and that experience continues to shape how I connect with clients navigating pressure, responsibility, identity shifts, and relationship stress. My goal is to help you feel more steady, self-aware, confident, and connected in your everyday life and relationships.

Hi there! My name is Valeria. Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or burned out from trying to balance work, relationships, and major life changes? I help high-achieving adults navigate anxiety, stress, burnout, and life transitions so they can feel more grounded, confident, and emotionally balanced. I provide therapy in both English and Spanish and have extensive experience supporting Hispanic and Latino clients navigating stress, cultural transitions, burnout, and life changes in a supportive and culturally sensitive environment.

You don’t have to navigate this alone. I’m a Licensed Mental Health and ART trauma therapist passionate about helping adults and teens manage the overwhelming challenges of life—whether it's anxiety, depression, trauma, or simply feeling stuck. It's not always a simple and easy as others can make it seem. Your story matters to me and that why I want to hear you and I'm ready to listen.

I am a licensed therapist with extensive experience supporting individuals facing chronic mental illness, anxiety, depression, co-occurring disorders, and a range of addictions—including substance use, alcohol misuse, and concerns related to sex addiction. I utilize a person-centered and cognitive-behavioral approach, providing a supportive, non-judgmental environment where clients can gain insight, develop effective coping strategies, and work toward the life they desire. I have worked with individuals, couples, families, and groups, and I am committed to culturally informed and strengths-based care.

I am a licensed clinical social worker who specializes in talk therapy, EMDR, and trauma work.

My belief is that every client is different and no one technique will work for everyone.

Hello and welcome, I'm Ericka, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who specializes in supporting people whose work—and often their identity—is centered on caring for others, until somewhere along the way they've lost sight of themselves. As both a therapist and clinical leader, I've spent years supporting the people others rely on most. I've learned that the people who seem strongest are often carrying the heaviest burdens, and too often, capable people mistake surviving for living. Whether your goal is to leave work at work, sleep through the night, stop feeling guilty for resting, or simply feel like yourself again, we'll work together to help you reconnect with the person beneath all the responsibility. Because the people everyone depends on deserve someone they can depend on, too.

My name is Corina Forte, and I am a bilingual mental health counselor providing therapy in both English and Spanish. For the past 15 years, I have supported adults navigating anxiety, trauma, grief and loss, relationship difficulties, emotional overwhelm, major life transitions, mood concerns, and the impact of serious illness. Many of the people I work with are capable, caring, and accustomed to holding everything together for others, yet feel anxious, exhausted, disconnected from themselves, or unsure of what they need. Therapy can offer a space to slow down, better understand the patterns shaping your emotions and relationships, and begin responding to life with greater clarity and intention. My approach is warm, collaborative, and honest. I strive to create a nonjudgmental environment where clients feel genuinely understood, while also offering thoughtful guidance and gentle challenge when it may help them move forward. I believe therapy should provide both deeper self-understanding and practical tools that can be applied in everyday life. I tailor my work to each person rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. I draw from evidence-based, trauma-informed, cognitive behavioral, existential, Gestalt, mindfulness-based, and expressive approaches, depending on each client’s needs and goals. My goal is to help you feel more grounded, develop a healthier relationship with your emotions, make choices that reflect who you are, and create meaningful changes that feel sustainable beyond the therapy room.

Want to lose weight or otherwise improve your metabolic health? Feeling stuck, unmotivated, and/or stressed? I have very specialized experience helping people with lifestyle change. Change can be hard. I will help motivate and prepare you to make changes in your life toward improved overall well-being. For nearly 20 years, I've been practicing, researching, and teaching behavioral medicine, always with a focus on the relationship between mental health and physical health. Together, we will explore various ways you can improve your overall well-being, but the road you choose is ultimately up to you. (**I do NOT use AI-enabled technology in therapy sessions.)

I work with individuals who want to feel more confident, grounded, and fulfilled in their lives. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling anxious, stuck, or unsure of how to cope with ongoing stress, relationship struggles, or self-doubt. They’re often caring and capable people who appear to have it together on the outside but feel overwhelmed or disconnected on the inside. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive space where you can explore what’s getting in the way of feeling your best. Together, we’ll work on building coping tools, improving self-esteem, and creating more balanced, authentic relationships. I take a collaborative approach—one that combines compassion with practical strategies—to help you better understand your emotions, break unhelpful patterns, and make lasting change. Therapy with me often involves strengthening emotional awareness, identifying core beliefs, and learning new ways to respond to challenges. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, perfectionism, people-pleasing, or simply feeling “not enough,” our work focuses on helping you reconnect with your sense of worth and agency. Relationships are a central part of healing, both with others and with yourself. In our sessions, we’ll explore communication, boundaries, and self-trust, helping you develop skills that support healthier, more fulfilling connections. I also integrate mindfulness and cognitive-behavioral strategies to help you stay present, manage stress, and build resilience. Ultimately, I believe therapy is a process of self-discovery—one that helps you move from surviving to truly living. My goal is for you to leave each session feeling understood, empowered, and equipped with the tools you need to navigate life with greater confidence and clarity.

Hi, I'm Carolyn Dower, LCSW, LISW with 36 years experience working with adults, teens, and couples to find inner peace, better health, happier relationships, and more fulfilling work. Would you like to understand yourself better so that you can feel better and get more of what you want in life? I help with the range of problems that people can have -- depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, grief, spiritual conflicts, and relationship problems -- or whatever is troubling you. I don't see couples with Domestic Violence issues because I don't have experience in that area. We'll begin by listening deeply to your thoughts, feelings, and needs as you are comfortable sharing them. Together we can find solutions to your problems. We may choose to learn some simple and effective relaxation methods, empowering communication skills, and techniques to heal childhood hurts. All of this works together for good self esteem, good energy, and a good life. Thank you for taking the time to learn about me and how we might work together. Hoping to meet you soon!

You don’t have to keep holding everything by yourself. My style is warm, calm, and collaborative. I provide a nonjudgmental space to process trauma, gain insight, and learn tools that support long-term healing. While my Grow practice is fully virtual, I bring a nature-informed perspective to therapy, using grounding, mindfulness, and nature-based reflection to help you feel more centered and connected wherever you are.

Depending on how you are affected, trauma can cause difficulties in your daily life, such as hopelessness, anxiety, depression, sleep disorders, constant irritability, and stress. I help my clients better understand the challenging aspects of traumatic events that are affecting their emotional and mental health. I will make clinical judgments about how to proceed in certain situations, but you are an expert on yourself, even if you don't feel that way.

Finding the right therapist can feel a lot like finding your favorite cozy sweater—it needs to feel like the right fit.

Hi! I am a dually licensed therapist in both Florida and North Carolina. I began my education later in my adult life, and believed I had arrived late to the game. But I found that life experience paired with my own belief system, allowed me the opportunity to view life's challenges through a unique lens, and because of that I am non-judgmental and empathetic towards people who are struggling with the hurts life has dealt them. I believe in using a collaborative approach in helping my clients. I use evidence-based practices, including CBT, DBT, Mindfulness, and Motivational Therapy, as well as Christian Counseling. I am supportive, yet direct with empathy, compassion and help you address the barriers in your life that are causing you pain and distress.

I graduated Eastern Michigan University with a major in psychology and a minor in nutrition in 2007. I completed my PhD program at the University of Detroit Mercy in 2014.

My approach is warm, relational, and psychodynamic — I help you understand not just what you’re feeling, but why it keeps happening. Many of my clients come to me after trying short-term or skills-only therapy and not feeling truly understood. Together, we look at the deeper patterns shaped by past experiences, trauma, and relationships. This includes medical trauma, chronic illness, health anxiety, and eating issues rooted in shame or self-criticism. I offer teletherapy to adults who want thoughtful, insight-oriented work that leads to lasting change.

Welcome! My name is Corina and I hold a license in Mental Health Counseling (LMHC) in the state of Florida. I went to school at Palm Beach Atlantic University for both my undergrad and masters education. Palm Beach Atlantic University is a Christian University and I feel grateful to have attended this school as it has created the person I am today.

In those agencies, I have offered services to children from the ages of 4 to adults in their 60s, as well as family therapy. I have worked with an array of issues not limited to family conflict, relationship issues, communication, drugs and alcohol, anger, stress, coping skills and many other life issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a modality that I primarily work with and at times borrows from other modalities when it is fit. My goal is to build a real, raw and positive relationship while being compassionate and empathetic. I will be sensitive but also direct in my efforts to help you find solutions to your current and/or past issues. I also believe that incorporating the use of coping skills, boundaries and communication will increase the quality of life as well as the quality of relationships. I believe all interactions are the beginning of potential flourishing relationships. With that said, I think that as we grow in counselor and client relationships, this very relationship will better help you with your relationships with family, friends and co-workers. I am excited to meet you and to work with you as you learn new ways to live your very best life! Thank you for letting me be a part of your journey.

THERAPY FOR WOMEN IN MIDLIFE — INCLUDING THERAPISTS You're the one others rely on — at work and at home. You show up for everyone. You keep everything running — managing your career and your household, and often growing kids and aging parents at the same time. Somewhere along the way, you stopped making it onto your own list. It's all becoming too heavy — now you're starting to feel it, emotionally and physically. Therapy at Seaside is a space to pause, reflect, and start to feel like yourself again. HI, I'M GAIL — THERAPIST & OWNER OF SEASIDE MENTAL WELLNESS. I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with nearly 30 years in the field, much of it spent inside the healthcare system, supporting women through some of the most significant moments of their lives. IN MIDLIFE, IT'S RARELY JUST ONE THING. The anxiety that increases in your late 30s. The moment in your 40s when you catch yourself thinking, "I don't feel like myself anymore". A marriage, a career, even your body — things that stop fitting in your 50s. These chapters are part of the same story. The anxiety, the burnout, the transitions, the emotional side of perimenopause tend to arrive at once, overlapping one another. We can untangle this together. SEASIDE IS RECOGNIZED LOCALLY AND TRUSTED STATEWIDE: SRQ Magazine's 2026 Platinum Winner (Best Local Mental Health Service) and 2025 Silver Winner (Best Local Therapist) , plus Guide to Florida's 2026 (Best Individual Therapist) and 2025 Regional Winner (Best Therapy Practice). SEASIDE IS BASED IN LAKEWOOD RANCH, serving women in Bradenton and Sarasota — and across the Gulf Coast, from Tampa to Naples.

Hello, I am Berinda, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker/Psychotherapist in the State of Georgia, Florida, and Alabama. I have 22 years of experience in the field and have been providing individual therapy for 6 years. My goal is to support you in achieving your goal, helping you to support and strengthen your desired outcome. My focus is trauma, marital counseling, anxiety, depression, grief, breakups, abandonment, and life stressors. My approach is person-centered, and I am open-minded, focusing on meeting a client where they are.

I was inspired to become a therapist because I wanted to be the kind of safe, supportive presence for others that I needed during my own childhood. What I love most about this work is seeing the growth my clients make, but also being there through the tough times when they stumble and watching them find the strength to get back up. I have a deep commitment to building trust, honoring each person’s unique journey, and empowering them to create meaningful, lasting change in their lives.

I have a passion for supporting individuals by encouraging changes, healing, and empowerment. I have had the wonderful opportunity to practice as a mental health therapist as well as share my expertise to deliver educational services as well as therapy in Palm Beach County for the last 9 years. I received a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from South University, and I currently hold a Master of Science in Professional Counseling from Grand Canyon University. I am currently completing an EdD with an emphasis in Behavioral Health at Grand Canyon University.

I provide evidence‑based therapy grounded in clinical assessment, trauma‑informed care, and culturally responsive practice. My approach is structured, collaborative, and focused on helping clients build insight, stability, and long‑term resilience. I am completing an APA‑accredited doctoral internship in a large integrated healthcare system, where I receive supervised training across trauma recovery, inpatient mental health, and neuropsychological assessment.
