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! I am a licensed clinical social worker. I'm licensed in Florida and Texas. I was born in Kentucky and raised in New York. I have experienced a lot of challenges in the African American community as it relates to trauma, disguised anxiety/depression and manifesting into anger and seclusion. I have also witnessed and assisted adolescents and adults struggling with their sexual orientation. My passion is assisting clients gain self-acceptance, sustain intimate relationships and regain confidence. I have a business background and understand women issues with regard to transitioning into leadership positions. If you require coaching in this area, I am very skilled and experienced. My speciality is working with intimate relationships, break-ups, at-risk adolescents and the LGBTQ community. My plan of action is to use Person-Centered interventions, Positive Psychology, Cognitive Behavioral Techniques (CBT), Solution Focused techniques and the Gottman Method with intimate partners.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and I have been in practice over 10 years providing individual, couples, and group therapy. I came to this profession a little later in life than many. This has granted me the opportunity to pull from my life experiences in being able to relate to my clients on a very personal level. I hope to provide not only a sense of support but a pathway to exploring your deeper self while addressing both short term and long term needs and goals. My experience with critically ill and hospice clients has given me a passion to work with people who are grieving. Grief encompasses the loss of those we love and also the loss of unfulfilled dreams and desires. Grief is something that we will all come into contact with at some point in our life experience. I hope to be a support and companion in assisting my grieving clients through these difficult times. I have experience with ages from young children to elderly. I have worked in settings that include institutional (i.e. hospitals) to homebound clients. I am not a fan of labels, either diagnostic or social. I prefer to understand my clients as individuals. However, there are times where those labels do help us to understand the symptoms and create an effective treatment plan. I look forward to working with you on your life journey.

I have worked with individuals ages five to late adulthood with a variety of presenting issues. As a dedicated bicultural millennial therapist with a passion for helping others, I like to approach the therapeutic relationship with a keen sensitivity and respect for multicultural factors. I recognize the importance of understanding and respecting differences in beliefs, values, and attitudes when working with clients from different cultural and social backgrounds. My experience varies across many settings, as I have provided therapy services at community mental health agencies, state clinics, general hospitals, and day treatment facilities. My specialty and passion for therapy lies in exploring intimacy/trust issues, ADHD symptoms, emotional regulation, anxiety disorders, and depression symptoms. It is my experience that therapy can be most effective from an integrative and holistic approach. My therapy style and approach draws influence from Solution-Focused, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Feminist Therapy, Psychoanalytic Therapy, and Structural Therapy. I see therapy as a collaborative effort where our knowledge and skills are combined to create unique solutions to your challenges. I hope that our therapeutic relationship will foster a genuine, trusting, and productive relationship. With evidence-based theories and techniques, my goal is to help you better understand your unconscious self, find peace, and be more fulfilled as a person, partner, and professional. It takes a lot of courage and will power to take that first step towards a more fulfilling life but I believe you are ready and so am I, lets get started!

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

Some commonly asked questions can be found 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.

How do I know if I should get a therapist?

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 in Florida can allow clients seeking therapy to experience professional help through video, phone, or live chat sessions without commuting to an office.

Does insurance cover 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 safe?

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.
