Anxiety, depression, and relationship issues are experiences that many of us encounter at various times in our lives. If you are feeling overwhelmed by negative emotions or believe you are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, or any combination of stressors affecting your peace of mind and relationships, we may be a good fit for each other. You are not alone in your struggles, and you deserve to regain the peace of mind and joy that seem to elude you right now. My primary goal is to help you transition from merely feeling good to truly living well. I draw from a range of educational, career, and life experiences to support individuals holistically. My therapeutic approach combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Process-Based Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with mind-body techniques. As a licensed marriage and family therapist and a Board-Certified Behavior Analyst with over 30 years of experience, I employ compassion, positive psychology, and Mindfulness to help adults and adolescents reach their fullest potential. Therapy provides a safe space to address mental health struggles and overcome challenges. My methods, particularly ACT, CBT, and Positive Psychology, are effective in treating issues such as addiction, anxiety, depression, anger, and trauma. They also assist individuals and couples facing relationship or parenting difficulties. Through ACT, you will learn to be more psychologically present, connect with your values, and make space for life’s inevitable pain. You will also discover how to take actionable steps despite emotional discomfort and cultivate an appreciation for each moment in your life. While my specialty is brief therapy, some situations may require an extended therapeutic relationship, which can be beneficial for adults and parents dealing with complex mental health challenges and navigating difficult child-rearing adjustments at home.

My experience derives from my work within the fields of child services, outpatient services, schools, correctional facilities, and residential facilities. Past and current clients have described my style as empathetic, authentic, warm, energetic and supportive, all with a touch of "tough love". Managing your mental health can be challenging whether you are facing new obstacles or have an existing diagnosis. Here there is no judgment, only a listening ear with positive regard and empathy. Change begins with your mindset and if you're willing, I can help!

Hello. I'm currently accepting new clients(ages 16+) for individual counseling sessions. I offer some evening and weekend sessions. I no longer provide family or couples/marital counseling services.

I’m the therapist people find when things feel “too much”, too complicated, too stuck, or too long ignored.

I’m open, straightforward, and never judgmental. You’ll always know where you stand with me, no jargon, no sugarcoating, and no pretending. My approach is Gestalt: present-focused, experiential, and deeply human. We pay attention to what’s happening right now your thoughts, body, emotions, and the space between us, so we can see your patterns. Intense emotions (anxiety, anger, shame) that spike fast or linger Repeating conflict in relationships; weak or wobbly boundaries Attachment wounds, complex/relational trauma, or family-of-origin stress Feeling split between who you are and how you act (values vs. habits) High-functioning on the outside, exhausted or disconnected inside If you’re reading this because things feel heavy, hi. I’m glad you’re here. Reaching out can be awkward, scary, or just… a lot. You don’t have to have the perfect words. You don’t have to explain everything at once. I’ll meet you with openness, straightforward feedback, and zero judgment.

I’ve been working in the counseling field since 2012. I work with all ages especially teens and adults in areas such as anger management, anxiety, low self-esteem, school and peer issues, communication, ADHD and more. I utilize cognitive-behavioral therapy and person centered therapy to assist clients with better functioning in their everyday lives. I listen to my clients and their needs to gain an understanding of their perspectives and presenting issues. The way I tailor sessions depends on the particular client, issues, and needs. Different clients require different methods. I am open, honest, empathetic and non-judgmental, but also tell it like it is.

Hello! I’m Lesley-Ann Vickerie, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Jacksonville, FL. With over 15 years in the social work field and 5+ years as a clinician, I’ve had the privilege of supporting children, teens, and families through trauma, transitions, and healing. Since earning my MSW from the University of North Florida, I’ve worked in diverse community and clinical settings and have provided telehealth therapy exclusively since 2022, helping clients access care wherever they are. I’m passionate about working with children ages 8+, teens, and adults navigating anxiety, life transitions, or identity exploration. I also specialize in supporting clients on the autism spectrum, women and children coping with medical challenges, and Caribbean-American clients exploring cultural identity and generational trauma. My therapeutic approach blends art therapy with other evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, and strengths-based practice. I believe creative expression can bridge the gap between what can be spoken and what lives unspoken within us. Clients often leave sessions feeling more grounded, understood, and equipped with tools for daily life.

Hello! I am Amy White, a Licensed Clinical Social Work. I received my degree from University of Texas at Arlington and have worked in the field for 11 years. I have had my private practice for five years. I strive to foster a safe environment to discuss any/all topics that will help my clients achieve an even happier and healthier life.

Hi my name is Amy, and I first want to acknowledge how difficult and scary it feels to begin the process of therapy, either for the first time or starting with a new therapist. I take very seriously the enormous strength that takes and I work very hard to ensure that you feel safe and heard as we begin the therapeutic relationship. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 15 years of experience providing counseling in both inpatient and outpatient centers. I received my Master’s degree in counseling in 2008, from Webster University. I had the privilege of working in an inpatient eating disorder facility for five years and have continued that work in outpatient settings. I have a passion for connecting with teenagers, college students and career women to build a safe place with an adult where they can voice their feelings and experiences without fear of judgement. I also especially enjoy working with young adult women as they navigate their way through the process of beginning adulthood. I have experience with a variety of issues, including depression, anxiety, eating disorders, and general women’s issue. I am especially passionate about working with CPTSD and PTSD. I have received training and supervision in working with trauma as it is a highly specialized field. Trauma survivors need validation, belief, compassion and acceptance first and foremost before a trusting relationship can be established. I have working with women exiting a toxic relationship, having endured narcissistic abuse and/or infidelity (betrayal trauma) which is many times misunderstood by well-intentioned people. My approach is warm, compassionate and highly empathetic as I work to establish a safe environment for healing to take place.
