Therapists near me in Orlando, FL

Hello and welcome. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in the state of Florida and a certified Trauma-Informed Care therapist with 15 years of experience in the mental health field. I earned my Master of Science in Counseling Psychology from Palm Beach Atlantic University and am currently pursuing my doctorate in Marriage and Family Therapy at Nova Southeastern University. I have worked with children, adolescents, adults, and families across community and private practice settings, supporting clients navigating depression, anxiety, life transitions, grief, addiction, anger management, and self-esteem concerns. My approach to therapy is warm, empathetic, and collaborative, balanced with honest feedback and accountability. I believe therapy works best when clients feel respected, empowered, and safe to speak openly about what is—and isn’t—working. My therapeutic style is integrative, drawing from cognitive-behavioral, solution-focused, psychodynamic, and psychoeducational approaches. Some sessions call for deep reflection, while others benefit from practical tools and strategies—and I tailor our work to your unique needs and goals. When appropriate, I also believe humor can be a meaningful and healing part of the therapeutic process. Seeking help takes courage. My goal is to walk alongside you, help strengthen what is already working in your life, and support you in creating meaningful and lasting change. I look forward to working with you.

Hello! My name is Lidia Conners, a Clinical Social Worker with two decades of experience. I have successfully treated a diverse population of adults and older adolescents with mental health inquiries specifically with anxiety, depression or trauma. I came to this field as I believe in the potential we all have and understand that at times certain perceptions or an overactive /underactive nervous system many times keep us stuck and rob us from living our best lives. I strongly believe in contributing to the well-being of clients using a client-centered, caring/compassionate individualized approach.

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.

Hi, I’m Philip Crouse, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida. My clinical background is rooted in high-acuity environments, meaning I am highly experienced in helping individuals navigate complex crises, severe anxiety, deep depression, and the heavy weight of addiction and trauma. If you are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or buried by recent life events, my goal is to help you find air to breathe right now. I don't believe in just sitting and nodding while you vent; therapy should be active. We will work collaboratively using practical, evidence-based tools—like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Solution-Focused techniques—to dismantle unhelpful behavioral loops and build immediate, actionable coping strategies. I operate from a strictly trauma-informed framework. This means I understand that safety and nervous system stabilization are the prerequisites for any real healing, and your autonomy and pace are always my top priorities.

Every relationship leaves an imprint. The quality of our relationships shapes nearly every part of our lives, including the relationship we have with ourselves. Whether you're recovering from a breakup, struggling with family dynamics, navigating friendship challenges, or feeling stuck in unhealthy relationship patterns, therapy can help you heal and rebuild trust in yourself and others. My practice focuses on helping adults understand their attachment style, heal relational wounds, strengthen emotional connections, and create relationships that feel secure, authentic, and supportive. Together, we'll explore the patterns that may be holding you back and create lasting change that supports healthier, more fulfilling connections in all areas of life. Many of the clients I work with find themselves repeating the same painful cycles, overthinking relationships, struggling with boundaries, fearing rejection, or feeling disconnected despite wanting deeper connection. Through a compassionate, attachment focused approach, we'll work to understand where these patterns began, how they continue to show up in your life, and what it takes to create meaningful change. I believe healing happens when we gain insight into our experiences while also learning new ways to relate to ourselves and others. My goal is to provide a supportive space where you can process difficult emotions, build self trust, increase emotional resilience, and develop the confidence needed to create stronger, healthier relationships.

Since 2016, I have worked with a variety of clients dealing with circumstances that are unique to their lives, which led me down the path of specializing in working with children utilizing play therapy. 

Hi, my name is Susan and I'm a licensed mental health counselor. I have enjoyed 28 years of experience supporting individuals in their journey to well being and fulfillment. I was down to being a counselor after experiencing the benefits first hand. I am warm friendly

Hi, I'm Sam Kipfinger, LCSW and founder of Hopeful Horizons Counseling. I work with adolescents and adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, life transitions, relationship challenges, and struggles with self-worth. I also have a special passion for supporting therapists, healers, and other helping professionals who spend much of their time caring for others and often need a space where they can focus on their own healing and growth. I believe therapy should be a place where you feel comfortable showing up exactly as you are—without judgment, pressure, or the need to have everything figured out. My approach is warm, compassionate, and collaborative, blending evidence-based practices with genuine human connection. I strive to create a safe environment where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to explore their experiences at their own pace. Through our work together, clients often gain a deeper understanding of themselves, develop healthier coping skills, improve relationships, heal from past wounds, and build greater confidence in navigating life's challenges. My goal is not only to help clients manage symptoms but to support lasting change that allows them to live with greater peace, resilience, authenticity, and hope.

If you are struggling with relationship conflict, depression, anxiety or addiction and are committed to doing the hard work of inner change, I have a history of successful results achieved through evidence based interventions. TEAM therapy has been proven to be up to 8 times more effective than other therapies while reducing suffering an average of 28% in a session. Welcome. Today you are one step closer to a new you where you feel empowered and on a positive path to growth and well-being. I welcome you to my practice, which focuses on cutting edge holistic therapy. My practice philosophy focuses on TEAM CBT therapy, which is created by Dr. David Burns. Dr. Burns is considered one of the forefathers of CBT. He is a renowned psychiatrist and author of best-selling books including Feeling Good: The New Mood Therapy, When Panic Attacks, and Feeling Great: The Revolutionary New Treatment for Depression and Anxiety.
