Connect with an online therapist licensed in Florida to get started.

A life of eudaemonia is attainable to all. Eudaemonia is a noun of Greek origin that translates into ‘human flourishing’, ‘a contented state of being happy, healthy and prosperous.’ During the past 19 years of providing counseling services to children, adolescents, young adults, adults, professionals, and families, in individual, couple, family, or group settings, I have encountered individuals who wanted to stop feeling their negative symptoms, whether internal (thought, feeling, sensation), or external (behavior, verbal and otherwise). With me, you will learn to cope with your uncomfortable private experiences, you will learn the purpose of your behavior and you will learn to self-manage as well as relationship-manage. Together, if you want, we can make you thrive in all areas of your life. Our private, confidential, trusting, collaborative client-counselor relationship will provide the safe space you have been craving to be able to process your innermost thoughts and feelings, with no fears of being judged, criticized, or told that everything will be okay, or worse, told to not feel that way. You may experience true catharsis for the first time. You will learn the value of reframing your thinking, and you learn how to engage in cognitive restructuring. Through mindfulness, you will ground yourself, and learn to be with yourself in the present moment. You will be able to identify the core beliefs that are no longer serving you well. You will increase your self-awareness, your awareness of others, and your awareness of the world at large. You will learn to identify the obstacles within and around you. You will feel empowered to make lasting changes, by being open to new perspectives, learning new and adaptive relational patterns, and conflict resolution skills; learning and applying the coping skills that work for you to become resilient, to heal from your psychological or emotional wound or trauma. You will add meaning to your existence. You will learn to increase your emotional and social intelligence. You will communicate positively, assertively, and effectively. You will re-write your inner script, as well as your outer narrative. Expect the therapy process to be uncomfortable while remembering that growth only comes out of discomfort. I will be right there with you, supporting you, and accepting you fully. I look forward to getting to know you. I hold an MA in Clinical Psychology from the University of Central Florida since 2004. I am a Ph.D. candidate in Conflict Resolution & Analysis at Nova Southeastern University, Florida.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida and I have over 5 years of experience working with adults with anxiety, depression and other life stressors such as coping with chronic illness. My approach to counseling is to provide guidance to help you determine the best approach for improving your well-being. I use a solution-focused style along with motivational interviewing; however, I can adjust my therapeutic style to meet the needs of each client. Seeking counseling and asking for help can be very hard for some people so I like to create an environment free of judgement. No one should be made to feel ashamed about participating in counseling and working on improving and enhancing their lives. I look forward to working with you

I am a licensed clinical social worker/licensed psychotherapist with 31 years of experience. During the course of my career I have worked to help individuals clients address issues that are standing in the way of them becoming a better version of themselves. I am licensed in the states of Florida and North Carolina. My experience as a psychotherapist has been with people of all ages, a broad range of issues and diverse cultural, ethnic, sexual orientation and spiritual backgrounds. My areas of focus are: helping the individual manage their response to stress in a healthier manner so the stress does not manage the individual, providing education and skills to cope more effectively with anxiety and/or depression, dealing with addictive behaviors, relationship issues, increasing personal empowerment over the consequences of trauma and abuse, developing an understanding of the impact of early life experiences on personal development and impact in present day situations, and improving self esteem/self confidence and self worth. The principles that guide my work as a psychotherapist are as follow: 1) Everyone deserves to be treated with respect, dignity and compassion. 2) Seeking therapy is one of he most courageous, empowering, and healing choices one can make. 3) Helping the individual to understand, heal, and overcome negative life experiences from the past, 4) It is the therapist's responsibility to earn the individual's trust during the course of the therapeutic relationship. 5) Mutual respect and collaboration between the therapist and the individual seeking therapy make it possible for positive change to happen. 6) When it comes to the therapy approach, "One size does not fit all." There is no one specific approach that is effective for everyone. Therapy is tailored to meet each person's unique style to enhance the likelihood of positive results. Congratulations on taking this very brave and important first step on the road to a better you!

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.
