Hey! I'm LeeAnne, a FL-based Therapist. I work with children, adolescents, and women across Florida, both in-person and virtually. My approach is warm, grounded, and practical. I create a space where clients feel comfortable being themselves, while also gaining tools to move forward in meaningful ways. With a background in education and differentiating instruction to meet the needs of students, I find that skill useful in therapy and meeting the diverse needs of clients. Everyone needs, and deserves a unique therapy experience that is professional and clinical, yet deeply human. We work together to create that. With teens and adults, sessions are conversational, reflective, and skill-focused, helping you better understand yourself, shift unhelpful patterns, and feel more steady day to day. I work with teens and women (18+) who feel anxious, stuck, or disconnected from themselves, whether that comes from life experiences, past hurt, or just not knowing what’s next. Many of my clients struggle with self-doubt, people-pleasing, or emotional overwhelm, but they’re also thoughtful, motivated, and ready for change. This population seems to benefit from being connected to a strong sense of self and a strong sense of belonging. We start on day one. With children, I use play-based and sandtray therapy to help them express emotions, build regulation skills, and work through challenges in a way that feels natural and safe. My "teacher and mama " roles enhance the child therapy experience. I support clients navigating anxiety, trauma, ADHD, relationship challenges, life transitions, and identity development. My work is informed by CBT, DBT, and parts-based (IFS-informed) approaches, as well as attachment-focused care. This is a space that’s warm, real, and supportive, where you can be fully yourself, explore your inner world, and build clarity and confidence as you move forward.

My goal is to help you live more authentically, compassionately, and in better company with yourself, one step at a time. My approach is rooted in empathy, curiosity, and collaboration. I draw from a range of evidence-based modalities including CBT, DBT, ACT, and existential therapy to meet you where you are.

I graduated with a Master's degree in Social Work from Florida Atlantic University in 2021, I obtained my post-graduate license to practice social work in 2024. I have experience supporting individuals navigating depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, PTSD, schizophrenia spectrum disorders, and personality disorders. Together, we’ll build a strong therapeutic alliance, identify unhelpful thought patterns and core beliefs, and work toward sustainable, meaningful change. I believe healing is deeply personal, and no two journeys look the same. As Carl Sagan once said: "I don't know where I'm going, but I'm on my way."

Starting therapy can be overwhelming, whether for the first time ever or the first time in a while. Many of us have been shamed and dismissed for what we had to do to survive, even in therapy. My goal is to help you understand what your past taught you, and how you may be carrying these lessons in a way that no longer benefits you. This is not meant to "dwell in the darkness" but to reconnect with yourself and learn how you can begin to show up for yourself in ways that did not feel possible in the past.

Are you having a difficult time getting through your day because your mind is wondering or you feel so down that you do not have any motivation? Do you feel confused because your mood is up and down? It may seem that it is never going to stop and I will always have these issues but I want you to know there is help out there and I can help you learn what it is that you are going through and teach you skills that help manage the feelings so you have more great days than low days. I will add some humor into our sessions because sometimes our emotions get to be too much and we need to just laugh once in a while. I love mixing different therapies because therapy techniques are not cookie cutter and one technique may work for one person but not another person. We will find what works best for you. Seeking therapy can feel scary but you're making the right choice. You deserve a safe space to heal and grow. In our sessions together, I'll meet you with compassion and evidence-based techniques so you can overcome the concerns you have that are holding you back. Let's work together.

Sustainable change isn't a matter of willpower; it’s a matter of design. Most people who feel 'stuck' aren't lacking motivation—they are simply operating within a system that wasn't built to support their unique brain or their highest goals. As an LMHC and BCBA with over 15 years of clinical experience, I specialize in the science of behavior to help you move past 'trying harder' and start 'building smarter.' I define my approach as Behavioral Architecture. Together, we identify the environmental friction—procrastination, anxiety, or digital distraction—and replace self-blame with structural solutions. Through the Masterpiece Framework, we audit your daily systems to ensure they align with your core values and the identity you are intentionally cultivating. We aren't just changing habits; we are clearing the path so you can live with the clarity and intention of a Masterpiece in progress. As a bilingual clinician, I offer a practical perspective that honors the challenge of navigating diverse cultures. I help you bridge the gap between your heritage and your future, ensuring the systems we design together are both culturally resonant and personally meaningful.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-QS) with over 10 years of experience helping teens and adults feel more grounded, confident, and empowered. Originally from New York and rooted in Caribbean culture, I've lived in Central Florida for several years and proudly serve clients across this community through different walks of life. My approach is honest, collaborative, and a little lighthearted when it fits. I believe therapy works best when it feels like a real conversation, not a clinical checklist. I’ll meet you where you are, help you recognize what’s already working, and support you in building the changes you want to see. I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), DBT skills, and trauma-informed care into a style that’s relatable, supportive, and focused on progress, not perfection. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, life transitions, relationship stress, identity questions, or just trying to keep it together (when you feel everything is falling apart). I’m here to walk alongside you, judgment-free.

Hello. I’m Jamie and I’ve been a practicing therapist for many years. You may be recovering from addiction, childhood trauma, toxic relationships, or perhaps, all of these things! I know most people don't go through life untouched by trauma, anxiety, unhealthy habits or some kind of issue that deeply affects them. I also know life's problems do not come with troubleshooting instructions but I belive I know how to help people begin to effectively address them. Whether they were caused by genetic predisposition, environmental stress or undeterminable origins, my beliefs are: We can have a life worth living regardless of how it started. There is help worth seeking, and problems get better with wise counsel.

Hello there! Welcome to Grow Therapy. You may call me Paul. Do you find it difficult to connect with or find a therapist that places you first? I place a huge emphasis on listening to you while using a person-centered approach. I empower you to be able to identify what it is that is troubling you in a complex world of thoughts and emotions. We'll use a holistic model to integrate mind, body, and spirit. This encourages you to discover the skills or strategies that help you to be the best you can be. I help people learn to identify the root of their issue(s). This not only addresses the symptoms but improves healing at the core of the problem thereby promoting lasting change. I truly believe in a person's ability to grow and change as you travel down your pathway to mental health and well-being. Learning to live in the present allows us to experience healing and wellness in the here and now. Whether you're dealing with complex relationship issues that seem hopeless and overwhelming or cycles of anxiety and depression, I'm here to help. I strive to create a safe and comfortable space where healing and growth are encouraged. In our sessions together, I'll meet you with trust, empathy and compassion while using evidence-based techniques so you can overcome barriers and obstacles that have been holding you back. I am honored to work with you and wish you all the best on your journey.

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 Florida. 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.

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 happens during the first therapy 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.
