Just so you can get to know me a bit better: I am a mental health counselor with a PhD in Health Psychology, which focuses on how different layers like biology, psychology, cultural, social, and environments factors influence health and wellness (that's a mouthful)! I know that having online therapy is a unique experience and different than what it would be if you saw me in my office for one hour a week. I also know each person I talk with has their own ideas and feelings about therapy and what it may be like. If we were together in my office, I would probably have a cup of coffee, sitting relaxed with you...chatting for a few minutes before we begin. And I would tell you to please call me Deb! So just imagine an incredibly relaxing environment, super comfortable, and me genuinely smiling at you and asking how you are doing, and what has brought you to therapy... Being a feminist therapist, the way I approach our relationship is collaborative...so we will both share our thoughts and ideas as we decide what to do. My approach to therapy is humanistic; I honor each story as a collection of experiences...continuously evolving. This perspective is not about shortcomings, but one of optimism, focusing on the strength of the human spirit to overcome challenges and seek fulfillment.

Hello! I’m Dr. Katherine Sherman and I'm a licensed clinical psychologist in the state of Florida. I received my Ph.D. from the University of Florida in 2010. I specialize in working with women under age 40, including children and adolescents, to assist them in stress management, coping with life changes and family issues, and reducing symptoms of anxiety, depression and related impairments. I also treat more targeted concerns such as OCD, ADHD, specific phobias, and trichotillomania. I specialize in collaborating individually with parents to teach them effective evidence-based parenting strategies for disruptive behavior disorders and other concerns. I also work with individuals and their families who are coping with chronic illnesses and medical conditions such as diabetes, chronic pain and fatigue, transplants, and cancer. I have a warm, caring, and open-minded treatment approach. I integrate techniques from evidence-based treatments and cognitive-behavioral therapeutic techniques. I would love to meet with you and see if we are a good fit!

Hello, my name is Samantha Bryant and I am a licensed clinical social worker in Florida with over 14 years of experience working with individuals and families. I have worked with a wide range of populations in various settings. My experience includes but not limited to, working with individuals and their families going through the adoption and foster care processes, attachment, adjustment, parenting, trauma, domestic violence, grief and loss, and life changes. Therapy is not an easy process, but worth every step and attempt you make to get closer to the life you are meant to live and deserve to be living. I have been told I am easy to talk to and would love the opportunity to aid you in your journey of healing to live authentically and peacefully. My style of counseling is rather eclectic as I feel that therapy is very individualized. I pride myself on being genuine, warm, empathetic, open, supportive, accepting, and non-judgmental. I aim to create a safe space where you can feel heard, and have the ability to feel comfortable expressing your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I have an open-minded approach when working with others because everyone has their own story and are the expert in their own life. I would love to have the opportunity to lend an ear and provide some support. I look forward to working with you! Take care, Samantha

Hello. My name is Dr. Marvin Silverman, Ed.D., LMHC. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Florida. Also, my experience as a Licensed School Psychologist, at times, can be helpful with certain education related concerns. I had been in full-time private practice from 1980-2020, at which point I decided to transition to electronic forms of therapy. In those four decades in an office practice I had the pleasure of working with thousands of individuals as well as families. A good deal of my clinical time had been dedicated to working on issues such as anxiety, stress, parenting, ADHD, phobias, social anxiety, impulsivity, adoption issues, procrastination, motivation, self-esteem, and more. I have written several books and magazine articles as well as appearing on many national and local radio and TV programs over the years. Although I employ therapeutic techniques that are compatible with a particular client, I tend to favor Cognitive Behavioral Therapy/Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy when appropriate. These types of therapies help individuals reasonably interpret and react to stressors and daily frustrations. By altering one’s thoughts and interpretation of events and circumstances, many people can then react to them more comfortably and reasonably. I believe that working on issues is based on a team approach (client/therapist) where we work together to help achieve your desired goals and outcomes. Please note that I am NOT trained and do not have experience with marriage counseling, couples counseling, substance abuse, sex therapy, eating disorders, physical/sexual abuse, and intimacy issues. If you may have concerns in those realms, there are many excellent therapists on BetterHelp that are properly prepared to be of assistance. I do therapy with phone and video sessions. I have elected to not do live chat. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you.

Life does not always go according to plan and it sure can be messy sometimes. It is nice when you can be expressive and heard as you share your messiness. My name is Trish, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and I am here to support you and encourage you through the 'messy'. I have been in the field for over 25 years guiding, supporting and cheering on clients, couples, and families as they make way for change. My background is serving pediatrics to geriatrics. I have a passion to work with Veterans of all ages as well as first responders and active military. As a mother of 5 children, I have both the professional and personal knowledge of child development, family systems, and the complexity of family dynamics. I have an extensive background in grief work. Keeping in mind, grief is not just a death loss but any significant change in our life that was unexpected, unplanned, or did not go according to plans. Think about those big events in your life (divorce, moves, change in jobs, relationships, etc) how did you feel and react? Each big event that did not turn out the way we hoped may have unresolved feelings attached. Let's dig into those feelings and work through our hurts and disappointments to build a resilient toolbox to help us through future messy times. My interactive, supportive style of therapy is built into creating a plan of care with solution focused goals in a short term treatment therapy formula to assist in making changes and improvements. Life gets messy, that's for sure. However, when we have the necessary supplies and support during those times, we are better equipped to embrace the big events and things don't feel or look as messy.
