Hello and welcome to my online office! My name is Charles and I am a mental health counselor licensed in Arizona, Florida and Georgia with over 10 years of experience working with individuals and families. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, substance abuse, gender identity issues and grief/loss. I have also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse. I am trained as an adoption-competent therapist to work with adoptive families and I am a certified trauma therapist. My counseling style is warm, caring and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, solution-focused and rational-emotive counseling. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs as it is important to meet you where you are at and use your expertise as well. It takes courage to seek out help for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you. I live by the view that if you can change the way you look at things the things you look at can change. This slight change in perspective can make a world of difference in your life! Thank you for stopping by and I look forward to working with you!

I have worked with individuals and families with a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, relationship/family issues, PTSD, and LGBTQ+. I hold a Masters degree in Counseling and Psychology and a Masters degree in Social Work. My counseling style is a collaborative process, where the therapist and client/family work together as a team to meet goals. I consider myself to be open-minded and realize that every person, regardless of background, is unique in his/her own way. I try to convey a "worry-free" zone. I want you to feel safe telling me your concerns without the fear of being judged. It takes a lot of courage to seek counseling, and I realize that there is sometimes a stigma attached to receiving help. I take my profession very seriously and I hope that I can convey my commitment to this process. I look forward to working with you!

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.

I'm Jemma Coleman. You'll enjoy working with me if you like a warm and encouraging, to-the-point approach to counseling. I have over 14 years of experience working with a wide variety of issues, the usual, like anxiety and depression, as well as a few areas of specialization, including Gottman Method Couples Therapy and ART (accelerated resolution therapy). I find getting my clients up and running in their lives on their own two feet to be extremely rewarding. I believe in the capacity of all people to find ways to love and support themselves to better health and find great joy assisting in that process. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Mental Health Counselor with a Masters and Specialist Degree from the University of Florida.

Hi, I'm Heather, pronouns she/they! I'm an LCSW and I have 10+ years of experience providing therapy to people who are feeling stuck, unheard, and/or trapped within our system of social norms and unrealistic expectations. I love helping clients get to those "ah ha" moments that unlock the gates to progress and healing. I practice a multitude of evidence based modalities and tailor them to my clients' specific needs. Nothing cookie-cutter, over here. I tend to be solution focused, client centered, and strengths based within my practice. Most of my experience comes from working with those who have experienced significant complex trauma. I believe everyone deserves a therapist that will listen to them entirely and completely free of judgment. I identify as queer (non-binary, poly, pan) and have worked with clients in all stages of recognizing their queerness. I also have experience working with those who have experienced religious trauma whether due to their sexuality or otherwise. If you're looking for a therapist who's laid back, nerdy, uses humor but will also challenge you to make the changes you've come to make; then I'm the therapist for you!

I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist and I have helped clients with a wide range of concerns. I strive to support, encourage, educate, and empower you. I have found that one or two styles of therapy is not suited to all people. Every person has a unique background and life experiences and everyone responds differently to different types of counseling. I use different therapy models and therapeutic techniques to make sure that your specific concerns are addressed in a way that is most effective for you. Our work together will always be focused on you and your strengths because I believe that you have inside yourself what it takes to make changes to succeed. My role is to guide and support you in using those strengths to build your skills and confidence necessary to meet your goals. Regarding my education and experience, I received my Bachelor’s degree at the University of Florida and my Master’s degree in Counseling at California State University, Fullerton. I have been a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist in the state of Florida since 1994. I have extensive training in a range of modalities including Family Therapy, Accelerated Resolution Therapy for trauma, Solution-Focused, Brief Intervention, Crisis Intervention, Cognitive-Behavioral, Reality Therapy, Rational-Emotive, Dialectical Behavior, and Transactional Analysis. I also co-authored a book for successfully overcoming anxiety. I have a great deal of experience working with families, couples and individuals who sought treatment for concerns such as: anxiety, trauma, abuse/neglect; depression and lack of motivation; stress management; relationship issues (conflicts, intimacy, communication, trust, parenting difficulties, parent and in-law challenges); aging; grief and loss; anger management; addiction and co-dependency; self-esteem and lifestyle transitions. The thought of asking for help can be an intimidating idea but doing so can improve your satisfaction with life, help you through difficult times and help change uncomfortable or troubling emotions. I will make this process as painless as possible by providing a safe, confidential, nonjudgmental environment and providing a secure, strong therapeutic relationship. I believe in treating people with respect and dignity. I am here to support, encourage and empower you in your journey. Please note: if you do not see available session times that fit your needs, other times can be made available upon request.
