Working with a licensed therapist can help you manage life's challenges and learn to make positive changes in your life. If you’re looking for a therapist, FL can have many barriers to treatment, like a lack of available providers or types of insurance coverage, which can make finding in-person mental health counseling challenging. 

With BetterHelp, you can attend individual therapy from the comfort of your home at a time that works for your schedule. You can work with a clinical psychologist, social worker, marriage and family therapist, or other mental health professional to find solutions to your unique challenges. Plus, you can change providers anytime until you find one with whom you have a good working therapeutic relationship.

If you need support to manage the symptoms of mood disorders, navigate relationship difficulties with your adult children, or cope with changes to your physical health, an online therapist can guide you through the healing process and help you reach your goals. Connect with an online therapist licensed in Florida to get started.

Hello and Welcome. My name is Barbara Barr and I am a Licensed Professional Mental Health Counselor with over 25 years of experience. Throughout my years of providing professional counseling, I have worked with individuals, teenagers, families and couples. My counseling focus addresses an array of issues including depression, anxiety, sexual, physical and emotional abuse and trauma, eating disorders, addiction issues, individual and adolescent counseling, couples counseling, and family relationship issues. My counseling style has been described as warm, sensitive, supportive, helpful and effective. I strive to help my clients feel safe, comfortable and trusting in me as their clinician, and comfortable to explore thoughts and feelings in a safe and trusting place free of judgment. It is important to me that you feel understood, really listened to, and confident in my ability to help you achieve your goals. I believe in emphasizing each person’s internal feelings, thoughts and sense of basic human worth. It is important for me to help individuals understand their own potential, accept themselves and others as unique individuals, and help individuals to take a problem-centered approach to life situations. Online counseling may be new for many individuals, yet it is being described as extremely comfortable, convenient, and very effective. Our work together will be structured to meet your specific and individual needs and comfort level. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have, and I will be happy to respond with any information you may need, including reviewing the process with you. Live video sessions are scheduled between 6:00am EST. - 2:00pm EST; I am looking forward to this journey with you and look forward to hearing from you.

I am Mark Rogers, a licensed mental health counselor-supervisor (LMHC-S) in Florida. I have practiced person-centered mental health counseling for over 15 years with twenty years of experience in career and daily functioning coaching. My clients have ranged from primary school, adolescents, adults, members of the LGBTQ community, and incarcerated individuals. I have been EMDRIA trained to provide EMDR therapy (eye-movement desensitization and reprocessing) and I use techniques of this within the framework of cognitive behavioral therapy. Trained attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder-certified clinical service provider (ADHD-CCSP), trauma (PTSD and CPTSD). I have the American Society of Clinical Hypnosis Levels 1 and 2 training for clinical hypnotherapy. My modalities include cognitive and dialectical behavioral therapy (CBT and DBT), motivational interviewing (MI), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), EMDR with a goal of solution-focused therapy, and hypnotherapy to address trauma/anxiety/and attachment issues. Our therapeutic relationship is the most important part of counseling. During our sessions, my goal is to help you achieve your goal. I will be more focused on helping you achieve the goals you set than giving a diagnosis/label. I know that the hardest part of getting help is the process of asking (or seeking) help for an issue. Most of us do not want others to see us at less than our best. I feel that my role as a counselor is to genuinely care for my clients. A counselor should avoid judging or putting their value system in the way of progress. The only goal that I personally have for my clients is to achieve the best quality of life that they can create for themselves. I am a facilitator towards progress, but the engine that drives progress is within you. I look forward to meeting you.

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and have been practicing in Georgia and Florida since 2014. I have a Masters of Science in Marriage and Family Therapy and a post-Masters certification in Primary Care Behavioral Health. I'm also certified in Trauma - Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and am trained in Child and Family Traumatic Stress Intervention. I've worked with children, adolescents, adults, and couples in mental health clinics, schools and have experience both public and private medical practices. I worked for several years in endocrinology and chronic pain management helping adults manage the effects of chronic illness on their lives and relationships. I've also served as the Clinical Director of a Children's Advocacy Center and worked with families dealing with trauma, depression, anxiety, PTSD, and relational problems. My passion is helping people build and live the lives they've always wanted. Lack of satisfaction in our daily lives and relationships can leave us feeling down, worried, or alone. That's not how life should be! As a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I offer a systemic, relational approach to both problems and solutions. I work collaboratively with my clients and believe my clients are the experts of their lives and circumstances. Sometimes people get caught in unhealthy cycles and patterns of behavior and just need a different perspective to help them break these cycles. Other times, people and families attempt to implement changes, but these changes are unsuccessful and leave them feeling discouraged and alone. By engaging in meaningful conversations and dialogue, we're able to create lasting change that results in an improved quality of life, as well as deeper, more connected relationships.

Emergency services to contact in a crisis

If you are experiencing a crisis or emergency, don't use the BetterHelp site. If you are in life-threatening danger, call 911. If you require support for a crisis, reach out to the hotlines below:

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

Some of the most commonly asked questions about therapy can be found in the section below.

How much does a therapist cost?

Mental health professionals can differ in price. Forbes found that the average cost of in-person therapy in the US is around $100 to $200 per hour. Pricing can also vary based on your location. 

BetterHelp offers payment plans of $60 to $90 per session, charged monthly in a lump sum. You can also take advantage of this pricing on one of BetterHelp's sister platforms, like ReGain for couples or TeenCounseling for teens aged 13 to 19.

Many therapists may be upfront about their pricing and whether or not they take health insurance from the beginning. Additionally, some in your area may offer a sliding scale plan to allow those with lower incomes to pay less for therapy. However, services online can often save individuals a few hundred dollars per month.

When should I get a therapist in Florida?

Mental health services and mental health providers may help you navigate various concerns. You do not need a diagnosis or condition to attend therapy; You can discuss grief, relationship concerns, stress, or life changes and ask for general advice. A counselor may help you gain power over your life and emotions while you navigate day-to-day experiences.

Mental health issues don't always present as a crisis. Many professionals provide talk therapy and support for life transitions, skills learning, relationship problems, or life coaching. Online therapy sessions can allow clients seeking therapy to experience professional help through video, phone, or live chat sessions without commuting to an office.

Does insurance cover the cost of therapy?

Different counseling services can vary in cost. Therapists must apply to accept insurance through insurance companies, which may take time and money, so not every therapist offers services through insurance. If you cannot find a therapist that accepts your plan, BetterHelp may be cheaper than visiting an in-person therapist.

Is online therapy the safe option?

Online therapy through BetterHelp and its sister platforms is safe. Therapists are licensed, experienced, and vetted before being contracted with the platform. If you experience any concerns with your therapist, you change your counselor through the platform or app at any time.

In today's fast-paced society, mental well-being has become a cornerstone of a fulfilling life. Amid the daily challenges and stressors that can overwhelm even the most resilient individuals, seeking professional guidance often offers a path to clarity and balance. The journey toward improved emotional health involves understanding personal triggers, embracing self-compassion, and developing effective coping strategies. While self-help books and online resources provide valuable information, nothing compares to the personalized support offered by a qualified mental health professional. One-on-one sessions with experienced experts can help uncover the underlying issues contributing to anxiety, depression, or other emotional hurdles. With a careful and empathetic approach, these professionals tailor their advice to suit individual needs, ensuring that each person receives strategies that work best for their unique circumstances. Whether through cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, or other innovative methods, the aim is to foster resilience and empower individuals to take control of their inner lives. For those living in bustling urban centers, engaging in face-to-face sessions in a welcoming environment can be particularly beneficial. Access to a caring clinician provides not only a safe space to explore difficult emotions but also builds a support network essential for long-term recovery. The process encourages self-reflection and greater insight into behavioral patterns that might otherwise go unnoticed. While the journey can be challenging at times, the rewards include enhanced emotional stability, improved interpersonal relationships, and a renewed sense of self-worth. In one notable case, the guidance provided by a highly trained therapist proved instrumental in navigating a tumultuous period. Through structured sessions and tailored interventions, the individual learned to identify stressors and develop healthier responses to adversity. This experience underscored the transformative impact that dedicated support can have on one's overall quality of life. In a region like Texas, community-based initiatives and accessible mental health programs further reinforce the value of professional help. These efforts emphasize early intervention, preventive care, and continuous support, ensuring that more people are equipped to face life's inevitable challenges. Ultimately, investing in mental well-being is an act of self-care that yields lifelong benefits. By embracing professional support, individuals can unlock new levels of emotional resilience and discover pathways to a brighter, more balanced future. Each step taken toward healing represents a commitment to personal growth, enabling a life filled with renewed optimism and strength. Embracing this transformative journey consistently paves the way for deeper understanding, lasting peace, and meaningful personal progress.
