I am a firm believer in everything that happens creates the person. I am a whole life counselor and work with people to explore what it would take to move past the difficult times in life. I take the time to get to know my clients and have many clients who have been with me for years. That doesn't mean someone will see me every week for the rest of their life. It means client know I am available when they have need. I do have clients who have seen me weekly for years not because they are dependent on me but because they have found benefit in processing their life regularly. I have had a successful personal practice for years and can offer clients the space and reverence to unpack the most unpleasant things to reorder them in a way they no longer can cause harm as they once did. There is no perfect childhood and it is likely families do the best they can and it may not have filled the needs of their child. I am happy to take as much time as needed to work through the problem as you understand it.

I also have experience supporting families navigating complex medical needs, helping them manage emotional stressors, access resources, and build resilience through challenging circumstances. I assist clients in approaching their goals from a strengths-based perspective to foster emotional safety, healing, and growth. I offer gender-affirming therapy and proudly serve the LGBTQ+ community, creating a safe, inclusive space for self-discovery and empowerment. I believe that each client is the expert of their own life, and I strive to meet every individual exactly where they are in each session. My approach is collaborative and empowering—centered on helping clients identify their goals, build on their strengths, and move forward with confidence and clarity.

I love working with individuals with a diverse background. While I address a host of concerns as it pertains to mental health, my specialties include mood disorders, anxiety, relational issues, life transitions, and high conflict parenting.

Hi, I’m Aneka Spencer, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) serving clients in Illinois, Iowa, Florida, and Kansas. I earned my Master’s degree from Chicago State University in 2011 and have been a social worker for over 10 years, with more than 4 years of experience as a practicing therapist. If you’re looking for a compassionate therapist who truly listens, offers honest insight, and partners with you to create meaningful, lasting change—you’re in the right place. I work with adults who are ready to better understand themselves, manage emotional challenges, and strengthen their inner resilience. Many of my clients are navigating life transitions, dealing with anxiety or depression, experiencing high stress, or simply seeking a safe, supportive space to reflect and grow. I offer free initial meetings because I believe that the therapist-client connection is essential to meaningful work. We can schedule a brief 15–20 minute video call via Google Meet so you can get a sense of who I am and how I work. Let’s talk—your healing journey deserves the right support. https://calendly.com/aneka-f-spencer/20min

Hey there! I’m so glad you made it here. Seriously. Welcome to Moment By Moment Counseling. I'm Robyn and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Orlando, Florida. I have over 7 years experience working in mental health. Four of those years have been in private practice. Consider this... Are you the one who everyone counts on? The “high-achiever,” the “strong friend,” the one who always finds a way but lately, you’ve been struggling to keep it all together? Or maybe you've been checking all the boxes and chasing goals, but you still hear that little voice telling you you're not good enough or not worthy? Perhaps life just threw you a curveball — a breakup, a loss, a career shift — and now you're trying to figure out how to rebuild and get your life back on track. Or maybe... you're simply looking for a brave, non-judgmental space to just be. To take the mask off, exhale and reassess your boundaries. At Moment By Moment Counseling, I help my clients slow down, explore, and reconnect with themselves and with what truly matters. Whether you’re navigating big life transitions, dealing with self-doubt, or trying to make sense of the chaos around you, our goal is to support you in finding clarity and calm. If this sounds like what you’ve been looking for, I invite you to reach out! Let’s talk about what’s been weighing on you, and how we can work together.
