Therapists in Florida

Hi, I'm Elizabeth Erban. A mother. A traveler. A bilingual Marriage and Family Therapist, licensed in Florida. For more than 18 years, I have worked with adults, couples, families, teens and children. I use a collaborative approach and put a lot of focus on building relationships with my clients. I have partnered with clients working through family issues, relationship difficulties, parenting struggles, work stress, depression, and anxiety. I can provide support for parents of young children from a different perspective than most: endorsed in infant mental health by the Florida Association of Infant Mental Health (FAIMH), I am an expert in children from birth through five years of age. I also have experience working with loved ones of those with personality disorders. I am not the expert on your life -- in fact, you are -- but I can help identify themes and develop insight into why you make certain choices. I keep my focus on you as an individual, how you are affected by and affect those around you. I prefer not to focus on labels, knowing each person is different and their experiences are very different. I look forward to working with you!

I understand you are dealing with XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX. Thank you for choosing to work with me. I know you have being working with these issues and complications for some time and have done your best to find a suitable solution. Seeking more resources to build on the work you have been doing is wise not weak. What I have to offer is a wealth of research education and years of experience helping others with similar problems. I can provide you with ideas, resources and encouragement that have been helpful to others in your situation. The work is still yours because you have to live your life yourself. Together we will examine whaat has not been helpful so far and where to go from there. Therapy does not happen in 30 or 45 minutes a week, it works when you work with it in your own experiences, with classes, journal and worksheets provided on the Better Help platform. You can also discuss issues, events, unexpected disruptions and similar by TXT at any time between sessions and when you return finished worksheets. I respond via TXT usually within 48 hours (except weekends and holidays) If you have any questions about using the Better Help platform, go to the help menu on the top right of your screen for client support (I hope, they do not show us the client screen) I do know it is some where on your main BetterHelp screen. Betterhelp does not give therapist any business details in general or regarding any particular client. We therapists are licensed independent contractors. The work you and I do together is not shared with Betterhelp or anyone else (exceptions explained in the consent you have signed or need to sign for us to work together.

My name is Becky Jacobson, and I am a licensed mental health counselor in the state of Florida and Utah. I have over 15 years of experience. I grew up overseas, and spent most of my early years in India, where my parents worked. Being raised in another country has made me interested in and open to working with other cultures. Having always been interested in counseling, I made a midlife career change, and have found it personally rewarding. My internship was with a community mental health agency, after which I went to work with a medical agency serving Medicare and Hospice patients and families. I have been blessed to work with all age groups, from 5 year olds to 95 year olds! My main focus of practice has been grief therapy and bereavement counseling, but all my clients have presented with many additional concerns such as anxiety, depression, family conflicts, relationship and stress related issues, caregiver fatigue, finding purpose, and learning to navigate a multitude of life's challenges. The counseling style I use is warm, empathic, conversational and interactive. My goal is to develop trust and rapport and maintain a mutual understanding and connection with my clients. Cognitive-behavioral, solution focused, and person centered are the types of therapy that I utilize. I find great joy in empowering clients to make positive changes and overcome challenges they may be facing! Due to licensing regulations, I am only able to work with clients who physically reside in the state of Florida or Utah, and are currently in that state.

I believe that engaging the process of therapy is a courageous act-a personal commitment to living a more fulfilling and happier life. A lot of my work has been with individuals who find themselves at a crossroads in life, struggling to fully engage with their life in a meaningful way. Whether due to the weight of past experiences or self-limiting beliefs, I work collaboratively with individuals to better understand and work with these undermining forces. As a therapist, part of my work is to hold space for my clients so that they can undertake the process of charting a new course, exploring past and present barriers that interfere with their ability to achieve success in work, relationships, and everyday life. I believe that we possess strengths that spring forward from our innate resilience, key allies that are uncovered and activated during therapy. Through a combination of focused talk therapy, personalized goals, and other creative tools, the goal is to outline a strategy for transforming negative emotions, relationship conflicts, fears, and self-defeating habitual patterns as a pathway to freedom and healing.

I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, LGBTQIA+ support, family conflicts, coping with grief and loss, depression, and adjustment to life changes.
