Davie, FL - Accepting clients in FL

Hi there, I am Charly. As a clinical therapist, I admire your willingness to seek therapy support. I want to offer understanding, and empathic emotional support to assist anyone experiencing emotional distress. Most people tend to suffer silently in their heads, or minds, due to conscious or subconscious, self-blame, shame, or guilt feelings as they seem to feel helpless. Individuals experiencing acute emotional distress due to mental health conditions often fail to realize that unresolved, deep internal pain or heartache is silently triggering their emotional distress. One school of talk therapy called, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), proposes that the lack of the capacity for "Psychological Flexibility" and our brain's default, or Survival Mode functioning the instinctual responses of "Flight or Flight," as required for human survival. As, your therapist, I am willing to support you in exploring your difficulty or distress and examine the mental barriers or psychological blinders causing you to feel internally conflicted and stuck. Some of my past and current clients tell me that "my ability to relate to them with an open mind and withholding personal judgment and a solution-focused perspective," helps them to feel at ease and connect with me and my style of therapy. I follow an eclectic approach to therapy, drawing from academic learning, experiential knowledge, and over 30 years of practicing experience using evidence-based treatment modalities based on scientific literature and up-to-date neuroscience research. I have training and experience in the following major treatment modalities such as CBT, REBT, SFBT, ACT, Mindfulness, and specifically to deal with trauma, a newer form of Rapid Eye Movement Therapy (Accelerated Resolution Therapy).

Guilt is associated with having done something wrong and the guilt is the glue that holds these relationships together.

North Miami Beach, FL - Accepting clients in FL

I specialize in supporting women through some of life’s most transformative seasons. Whether you're navigating pregnancy, adjusting to motherhood, managing anxiety, or facing a major life transition, my goal is to help you feel more grounded, empowered, and at ease in your current reality. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in both modern and depth-oriented therapies. I draw from cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and solution-focused techniques—while also integrating insights from Carl Jung and Freud to explore the deeper patterns, beliefs, and unconscious stories shaping your experience. Together, we’ll work toward cultivating greater self-understanding and emotional resilience—so you can feel more at home in your current reality, even when life feels overwhelming. Therapy with me is not about “fixing” you, but about making space for all parts of your story with compassion and curiosity.

My approach is integrative - utilizing EMDR and CBT, we collaboratively review your past memories, thoughts, feelings and behaviors, and incorporate somatic strategies to help you cope and overcome triggers and stressors. I have experience working with various populations (adults are my current focus). I also have a passion for helping families navigate the incredible journey of parenting neurodivergent children.

Life is full of ups and downs, and if you’re here, you might be trying to find some stability. Whether you've been feeling stressed, wanting to expand your sense of wellbeing, or feeling like you've lost yourself in a relationship, I’m here to help you sort through it with compassion and honesty. I’m here to root for you, but I’ll also give it to you straight—because growth happens when we’re both kind and real with ourselves. I specialize in working with adults in their 20s and 30s who are navigating anxiety, ADHD, or relationship issues. I also enjoy working with couples who are struggling to communicate effectively in their relationship. These are all areas I’ve worked through in my own life, so I bring not just clinical tools, but a deeper understanding of these experiences and the challenges they can present us with. In our work together, we’ll focus on building self-awareness, challenging unhelpful patterns, and reconnecting with what matters most to you. I tailor our sessions to fit your needs using evidence-based approaches like mindfulness, CBT, and acceptance-based strategies. Most of all, I want you to feel empowered to lead a life that feels more aligned to your values and who you are. For more information about me and my services, visit www.alightermind.com.

Are there obstacles in your path, past traumas, anxiety, or other stressors holding you back from being your best self? Allow me to be a compassionate counselor, healer, and guide on your life journey. I will empower you to identify and achieve your goals through a client-centered, humanistic approach tailored to your needs. My background includes clients working through issues of anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship issues, guilt, fears, terminal and chronic illnesses, spirituality, self-esteem, career and life uncertainties, addictions, and those just looking for an empathetic ear to listen or offer helpful feedback. Many psychotherapists attempt to use their preferred modality as a "one size fits all" treatment. While I stay up-to-date and am able to offer the current and most effective evidence-based modalities, including CBT, ACT, solution-focused, and mindfulness-based therapy, I believe the therapeutic relationship between us is the most valuable tool. Together, we will craft and develop the best custom plan for your needs and desires, incorporating the therapeutic techniques we deem most useful for you. Join me in a completely safe, judgment-free, and confidential space to share, heal, smile, grow, succeed, laugh, and become your best self.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by Florida rather than a city like Tampa?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in the state. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across Florida from Miami to Jacksonville! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in Florida.

Will my therapist take insurance?

When booking you’ll be asked to verify with your Member ID. However, if you don’t have any of the insurances available you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on a specific issue?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need.

What are the "Clients say I'm" badges?

Grow Therapy asks patients about their experience with therapists after they have had a certain number of sessions. After enough responses, we add those characteristics to their profiles to help you find the best online therapists for you. We're still working on collecting this information from all our therapists.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

What to expect during your first session?

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs.

Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center. Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
