Therapists in Florida

Hi, and welcome to BetterHelp. My name is Lowell, and I am glad you found me. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker here in Florida, and I have over 20 years of experience in working in Community Behavioral Health settings, Correctional settings, Sexual Perpetrator settings, Geriatric settings, and in Private Practice. Insofar as my strengths are concerned, it is difficult to categorize, since I prefer to utilize a combination of various therapies in what I term, "Common Sense Therapy". if you are looking for someone who is down-to-earth, yet professional; open-minded, yet principled; compassionate/empathic, yet, direct; and someone with many life experiences, yet with a deep spiritual belief, then I just may be the therapist you are looking for. My education consists of a Bachelors Degree in Education from Illinois State University, and a Masters Degree in Social Work from the University of Illinois, Champaign/Urbana. My primary therapeutic interests lie in the areas of Couple Counseling, Relationship Conflicts, Transitions in Life, Sexual Abuse/Trauma, Gender Dysphoria, Anger Management, and Dissociation. It is a privilege to serve you in the hopes of assisting you in more fully enjoying the rest of your life on this planet. Feel free to contact me at your convenience, and I will always attempt to get back to you as soon as I can. Thank you for choosing BetterHelp.

I have been a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist for over ten years. I have worked with various groups from families, individuals, incarcerated individuals, court ordered family education and I have worked extensively with end of life concerns. I like to take a holistic approach to therapy. Many times there are several layers to what may seem like a one layer concern. I like to match the type of therapy to the client. Preferred theories are cognitive behavioral and interlaced with rational emotive behavioral theories and behavior modification. I enjoy building a mutually respectful relationship and have been told I bring a warmth and true concern to the client/therapist connection. Every person and situation is unique and needs to be treated that way as a one size fits all program will not provide optimal results. I will work with you to find the best way to address your concerns and tailor a plan with steps along the way that we may both see and know we are continuing along the correct path. I look forward to meeting you and working together to achieve your goals.

I am qualified as an expert in these areas in several court jurisdictions in Florida and have worked internationally as well (Japan and Europe). My doctoral research areas were Case Conceptualization and Attachment/Adult Psychopathology My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, solution focused, psychodynamic and developmental based counseling. I am well trained in other modalities as well. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. I understand that it takes courage to seek help, and it's not easy to face fear.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Orlando, Florida. I'm a native of New Jersey who has called Central Florida home for over 20 years. I completed my Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Rollins College in Winter Park, Florida. I also received my Bachelor of Science Degree in Psychology with a Minor in Nonprofit Organization Management from the University of Central Florida. Through lived experiences, direct client work, and education, I have come to learn that people experience trauma or severe life stressors that can lead to their lives unraveling.  I have experience servicing diverse populations such as at-risk youth, teenagers, those experiencing homelessness, people living with HIV, LGBTQ+ issues, addiction/substance misuse, aggressors of abuse, and victims of trauma and crime. I aim for the client and counselor to establish an emotional and social connection that supports people to explore solutions to their problems. I know that no single approach is the right one for every individual so I'm trained in various modalities focusing on evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral and Solution Focused Therapy. I invite potential clients to join in on a collaborative effort to explore mental wellness with an emphasis on increasing the quality of and satisfaction with life. When not working with people, you can find me relaxing near a body of water or socializing to build community.
