Hello, and welcome. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida, offering virtual therapy for adults seeking support with anxiety, depression, substance use, trauma, relationship challenges, and life transitions. My goal is to help you move toward positive change so you can feel more balanced, confident, and emotionally strong. I believe therapy is a space for growth and healing. Together, we’ll explore what’s holding you back, identify your strengths, and build tools that empower you to create the life you want. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and practical—I want you to leave each session feeling heard, supported, and equipped with clear next steps.

I am happy you are considering a more satisfying way of life. Believe me, it is my pleasure to help you do that. Together, we can look at disappointments, core beliefs that support dysfunction, and determine the best way out. All that will be asked of you is to participate in therapy with the courage and honesty needed to be truthful about what is getting in the way of achieving your goals, be willing to cope with fear and learn something new. In addition, along the way we will practice guided meditation and visualization with progressive muscle relaxation as a means to facilitate improved focus and mindfulness.

Life can throw us curveballs, and sometimes we need a little extra support to find our way through. As a therapist, my goal is to create a safe, welcoming space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings without judgment. Together, we can navigate the internal and external challenges you’re facing and work towards finding relief. Using a cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) approach, I’ll help you discover new perspectives on your situation, learn to embrace difficult emotions, and develop healthy coping strategies that fit your unique needs. My aim is to make our sessions comfortable and engaging, often bringing a touch of humor to lighten the load. I have experience working with individuals from all walks of life, including college students and emerging adults navigating transitions. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, or other life changes, I’m dedicated to supporting you in building resilience and finding your path forward. Let’s work together to turn challenges into opportunities for growth. Reach out today to take the first step toward a more balanced and fulfilling life.

I am a licensed therapist specializing in anxiety, depression, trauma, and life stressors. I use evidence-based approaches like EMDR, CBT, and mindfulness to help clients navigate difficult experiences, reduce symptoms, and build lasting coping skills. My compassionate, client-centered approach creates a safe space for self-exploration, emotional healing, and personal growth, empowering clients to regain balance, resilience, and a greater sense of well-being.

Hi! I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida with over 14 years of experience in the helping profession and 10 years as a therapist. I have a passion for helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with compassion, clarity, and confidence. My approach is compassionate, client-centered, and rooted in evidence-based practices, tailored to meet each person's unique needs.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a background working with adults, adoptees, and trauma. My therapeutic approach revolves around building a relationship with my clients and establishing the core issue of what is a challenge for them by facilitating a place for them to be transparent with themselves, judgment-free. I have experience working with all walks of life and have held an assortment of different roles in the field working with social services, foster care, adoption, and healthcare. These experiences have made me well-rounded when it comes to addressing cultures and beliefs that differ from my own. The first step toward getting better is having the courage to ask for help. Let's meet for a session and get to know one another.

Hi, I’m Cassie! I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida. I have over a decade of experience working with couples and individuals in a private practice setting. I love watching clients grow and believe that counseling is something that all of us can benefit from. I believe that our darkest and most difficult seasons have the potential to shape us into who we want to be. Sometimes we just need someone who can help provide the tools and the hope to get there.

I earned my doctorate and post-graduate master's degrees in psychology and my master's degree in counseling from the University of Hawai'i at Manoa. Professionally, I retired from the United States Air Force as a senior non-commissioned officer, and since retiring, have worked in several different behavioral health settings. In addition to my private practice, I am a graduate-level adjunct professor of counseling psychology.

About me I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida with 26 years of professional experience come this August. I am also a Qualified Supervisor for new interns. Originally from Brooklyn, NY, and East Brunswick, NJ until age 23, then moved to Pembroke Pines, Jupiter, now residing in Sarasota, FL. I have personally conquered Bipolar Disorder, ADHD, Major Depression, Anxiety, OCD, CPTSD, Codependency, Divorce, Custody, and Parenting Issues. I have the ability to mend relationships, as I have brought my relationship with my wife from shambles to diamonds, and our "ship" is still moving North in the direction we both want, despite our differences and disagreements along the way. There is no more all-or-nothing thinking or engagement in back-n-forth arguments or break-ups; instead, there is peace, love, cooling off, and acceptance of our different love languages, personalities, and brain designs. I am 6 years and 7 months sober from marijuana, as well as from the addictions of gambling, sex, and buying expensive cars beyond my means. I am a firm believer that we learn something new or reinforce a life lesson every day. Personal and Professional Growth equates to extra Health, Happiness, and Longevity. I have 9-year-old fraternal twin boys, 2 stepchildren, ages 25 and 26, 2 cats, and 2 dogs.

I am a bilingual (English and Spanish) Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the States of Florida and Rhode Island. My experience includes working with individuals with a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, trauma , post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and end of life. I have worked with Clients in a variety of settings such as homes, schools, clinics and agencies. I utilize multiple modalities including, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Mindfulness. I enjoy working with diverse populations, and providing client-centered therapeutic services.

Many of my clients are women and teen girls (12 and up) who are high-functioning on the outside but feel exhausted, anxious, or disconnected on the inside. You may be managing work, school, relationships, or caregiving while internally feeling overwhelmed, stuck in overthinking, or like you’re running on empty. If you’re someone who’s tried to “figure it out” on your own or learned coping skills in therapy before but still find yourself falling into the same patterns, you’re not alone. Many of the women I work with come in feeling frustrated that insight hasn’t translated into real change. In our work together, we focus on getting to the root of what’s keeping you stuck in cycles like burnout, over-functioning, people-pleasing, and difficulty setting boundaries. Instead of just managing symptoms, we work to understand and shift what’s driving them so the change actually lasts. A key part of this process involves working with your nervous system—not just your thoughts. You may already understand what’s going on logically, but still feel it in your body and day-to-day life. We focus on helping your system feel safer, more grounded, and less reactive so you can begin to break those automatic cycles and respond in new ways. I integrate EMDR, somatic approaches, attachment-based therapy, TF-CBT, and experiential work to support both emotional processing and practical change. The goal is to help you move from insight into real, sustainable shifts in how you feel, relate, and show up in your life. Sessions are collaborative and paced so you don’t feel rushed or overwhelmed. The goal is to help you feel more grounded, emotionally steady, and connected to yourself and your relationships. I also offer trauma intensives for self-pay clients who want deeper, focused work in a shorter period of time.

I am a mental health therapist, licensed in Florida, Texas and Massachusetts. I have experience in helping people with relationship issues, family conflicts, trauma, abuse, motivation, self esteem, & confidence. I teach coping skills to help with life changes. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!

For the last 12 years, I have helped people struggling with relationship issues.

Does this sound familiar: · Feeling stuck? · Trapped? · Struggling to cope with all the demands placed on you? · Feel like you have no control over things in your life? · Struggling to remain organized? · Struggling with life's transitions? · Difficulty managing daily stresses? · Struggling to regulate your emotions? If you answered 'yes' to any of those and are ready to make a change and take control of your life, allow me to help you. Change is not easy, and it can be scary, but it is necessary in order to move forward. Together we can work to identify and overcome the obstacles in your life that are preventing you from reaching your potential and realizing your goals. I can help you gain insight and develop healthy coping skills so that you may experience personal growth.

Hi. My name is Kamla Johnson. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I obtained a Master of Social Work Degree from Florida Atlantic University as well as a Master of Health Administration Degree also from Florida Atlantic University. I have 15 years experience in client care starting as a nursing assistant. I hold Master Certified Addictions Professional Credential, Certified Case Manager Supervisor Credential, Approved mental health and substance abuse trainer by the Florida Certification Board, and Certified Telehealth Practitioner. My therapy style is that I serve clients from a client- centered and holistic perspective. I have worked in child welfare, substance use, and mental health. I have worked with those affected by trauma. I serve children, adults, adolescents, geriatric, LGBTQIA+ and know clients are master of their life. My approach is to listen to client’s story, be clients centered, listen to their story, ask about their support system, and be present in each session. Person served are the expert in your life. My role is to journey alongside you to help you to live your best, purposeful, most fulfilled life to feel empowered to continue to journey along. I encourage patients to feel motivated for the next steps in the process. I utilized the client’s/ family’s strengths and encourage them to realize that they can make changes within their lives. I’m empathetic, compassionate, a good listener, flexible, dedicated, hardworking and adaptable. I work well independently. Modalities are based on the client situation and how I can best help client. I utilize various evidenced based treatment modalities. I don’t have all the answers, and I am here to support you and journey with you.

I work with professionals and creatives who feel stuck in cycles of overthinking and burnout, despite doing everything “right” on the outside. If you’ve been feeling disconnected from yourself, questioning your direction, or stuck in patterns you can’t seem to break, you’re not alone. High-functioning doesn’t always mean fulfilled, and it often takes a lot to even admit something feels off. My approach blends insight with practical strategy. Together, we’ll identify what’s been keeping you stuck, work through the internal pressure you’ve been carrying, and help you build a more grounded, clear, and sustainable way of moving through your life. Helping you create a life rooted in self-trust and intention is my goal.

Feeling tense and on edge, restless, ruminating all the time, can't get out of bed, constantly worrying and feeling annoyed and irritable? While these feelings can be quite unsettling I understand just how to help you make the next move to feeling better. I am a licensed therapist in the state of Florida with over 12 years of experience working with individuals on a host of different issues from anxiety, anger, relationship issues, self esteem and many more. I have worked in a many different setting and all those experiences helped to make me the rounded clinician that I am today. Many individuals focus on their physical health while ignoring the most important aspect of their being and that is their mental health. I believe that focusing on one's mental health shows fortitude and strength and I am right here to help you walk through those difficult times. I take clients on the journey until they arrive at their destination by incorporating prayer and the Word along with therapeutic interventions. “Your present circumstances don’t determine where you can go, they merely determine where you start.” Nido Qubein. This quote sums up what I believe when it comes to working with my clients. Where you are right now does not define you, it is your starting point to get you moving in the right direction.

I am currently only accepting female clients. My journey to becoming a mental health counselor is built on a foundation of professional dedication and a deep understanding of human resilience. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, my approach is centered on trauma-informed care and psychodynamic principles, but my perspective is uniquely shaped by over two decades of firsthand experience in high-stress, high-stakes environments. Before entering the world of clinical practice, I served our nation in the U.S. Army and later dedicated myself to public service as a law enforcement officer. These experiences instilled in me an unparalleled sense of discipline, a pragmatic approach to problem-solving, and, most importantly, a profound appreciation for the immense psychological burden that accompanies a life of service. My lived experience allows me to connect with clients in a way that academic training alone cannot, fostering a level of trust and authenticity that is critical for true healing. My therapeutic style is collaborative and person-centered. I am committed to helping my clients not just manage their symptoms, but to truly understand their root causes. Using an in-depth psychodynamic approach, we will work together to explore how past experiences and unconscious patterns may be shaping your present thoughts and behaviors. The goal is to gain deep self-awareness, empowering you to break old cycles and build a more resilient and fulfilling future. While my background gives me a unique understanding of veterans, first responders, and their families, my practice is open to anyone navigating life’s most challenging experiences. I believe that every individual has an innate capacity for healing, and my role is to provide the support, insight, and practical tools to help you on your journey. I am here to be a trusted partner in your path toward emotional well-being and personal peace.

Whether you're facing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, or life transitions, I’m here to walk alongside you at your pace, helping you reconnect with your strengths and move toward the life you want. I believe the most important part of therapy is the relationship. I take time to truly understand who you are—not just your symptoms, but your story, values, and goals. My approach is grounded in evidence-based practices like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and trauma-informed care. I work with adults and teens, and I tailor approach to meet your unique needs. Together, we’ll build insight, develop practical coping tools, and gently challenge the patterns that may be keeping you stuck. You are welcome here. Nothing is off-limits in our work together.

I’ve heard it all, and you don’t have to hold anything back.

People often come to therapy carrying emotional pain, life stressors, or patterns they’ve been struggling with for a long time. I work with individuals from diverse and multicultural backgrounds who are navigating challenges related to mental health, substance use, and co-occurring disorders. My approach is person-centered and collaborative, rooted in the belief that you are the expert of your own life and experiences. I strive to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered to grow. Drawing from my experience in both outpatient and residential treatment settings, I focus on building a strong therapeutic relationship that fosters trust, insight, healing, and meaningful change.

Hi! My name is Samantha Wills but most folks call me Sam! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I received my Bachelor’s of Social Work degree from Florida Gulf Coast University and later earned my Master’s of Social Work degree from Florida State University. Before beginning my work in private practice, I worked in different mental health school settings and an intensive outpatient program. I also identify and work with members of the LGBTQ+ community and pride myself on creating a safe, affirming environment for everyone to be vulnerable and honest without fear of rejection. I spend my free time reading the latest romantasy novel, spending time with my loved ones, and crafting.

With over 15 years of experience in the mental health field, I am passionate about supporting adults and couples as they navigate life’s transitions and pursue meaningful growth. Whether you are a college student or recent graduate adjusting to a new season of life, an individual facing anxiety or depression, or a couple preparing for marriage or working to strengthen your relationship, I strive to provide guidance that feels both supportive and practical. My Christian faith shapes my personal values; however, I work with people from all backgrounds and beliefs. Faith-based perspectives are incorporated into counseling only if a client specifically desires it. My goal is to create a safe, welcoming space where you feel heard, understood, and supported. Life transitions—whether expected or unexpected—can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to navigate them alone. Together, we can explore the challenges you are facing and work toward the emotional and personal goals that matter most to you. I specialize in working with adults experiencing life changes, including college and post-college transitions, relationship challenges, marriage and premarital preparation, and parenting. I also support individuals navigating anxiety, depression, and stress that often accompany these seasons of change. My background as a behavioral specialist in community mental health allows me to effectively support adults diagnosed with ADHD or autism spectrum disorder, as well as parents raising children with these diagnoses. In my work with couples, I draw from my experience as a trained Prepare/Enrich facilitator to help partners strengthen communication, navigate conflict, and build healthier, more connected relationships. When working with individuals, I primarily use a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) approach to address concerns such as anxiety, depression, and life transitions. My focus is on equipping you with practical tools and strategies so you can move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and resilience.

My clients are people who want to move from feeling "stuck" to having a greater sense of purpose, empowerment and clarity. My approach to counseling uses a relational model that creates a safe environment where I encourage my clients to develop resiliency and self-empowerment. Life is very hard. My goal is to have each person leave a session feeling more capable to handle whatever life throws at them.
