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.

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.

Lantana, FL - Accepting clients in FL
With a direct yet compassionate approach to therapy, I help clients identify issues that are causing distress in their lives. I have 36 years of experience and have written two books: "Bipolarized" and "Borderline" -- one on bipolar disorder and the other on borderline personality disorder. Many clients gain insight into their disorders through reading my books and identifying a list of issues to work on in therapy. Hypnotherapy is extremely valuable and I ask clients to record the sessions to listen to the recording every day. This reinforces positive messages to improve self-esteem, reduce anxiety, stress and depression and identify relevant issues on a subconscious level.

Palm Harbor, FL - Accepting clients in FL
Hi, I’m CJ Backer—a licensed marriage and family therapist who walks alongside people as they navigate the deeper questions of identity, purpose, and emotional well-being.
So many of us move through life carrying the weight of expectations—what we should be, how we should feel, who we should become. My work is about helping you gently untangle from all of that, and reconnect with the person you are underneath the roles, pressure, and performance. Whether you’re facing anxiety, depression, trauma, or just that quiet feeling that something’s off—I offer a space where you can slow down, reflect, and begin to heal.
In our work together, you’ll find a space that’s compassionate and real—where you’re not just seen through the lens of symptoms or labels, but as a whole person with a story that matters. I integrate evidence-based practices like CBT, DBT, and motivational interviewing, but always with the understanding that tools only work when they’re paired with trust, empathy, and authenticity.
Ultimately, my goal is to help you reconnect with who you are—not just who the world told you to be—so you can move through life with more clarity, courage, and self-trust.
