Working with a licensed therapist can help you manage life's challenges and learn to make positive changes in your life.

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.

Therapy is a very unique experience and when you reach out for help it should fit who you are and what you need. One of my greatest strengths as a therapist is creating that fit for each of my clients. For some people reaching out for help is easy and for others it is one of the most difficult things that have ever had to do. No matter where you are on that spectrum I feel confident that together we can find what it is that you are seeking. My approach to therapy is a present focused and a goal oriented style. I work with my clients to explore their current life and find what it is that is out of sync. At times we need to look to the future to see how things could play out and at times we need to look to the past to see where things may have gone off track. But the main goal is getting you peace in your today. I have had the pleasure to work with a diverse population in my career and there is a broad range of issues that I can assist with. So if you are in search of some guidance and support, I would like to help you find a place in your life that makes you feel glad to be alive :) I am a Masters Level Addiction Professional (MCAP) and have extensive background working with addictions. **Please contact me for live session availability.

My Name is Juan Carlos Camps, I am a Cuban-American born and raised in Miami, FL. I have a great deal of passion for my community and the well-being of its citizens. I am a licensed clinical counselor (LCSW) and a certified clinical anxiety treatment professional (CCATP)practicing for over 10 years, with 20 years of experience in care coordination for insurance companies, human growth and development, and have worked in various social service organizations throughout Miami-Dade. Over the course of my career, I have seen how the debilitating effects of anxiety and depression can impact an individual’s life, and cause disruption and discord in their everyday interactions with family, loved ones, colleagues at work/school/peer groups and within their communities. Also, as part of the gay community, I understand the importance of having access to someone who identifies and understands the process of coming out and the individual needs one may experience in becoming their genuine and authentic self. I consider myself a resource, an advocate, caregiver and ally in the journey of becoming well and am passionate about helping individuals achieve their goals and ability to their authentic self.

Since childhood and into my professional career, I have always held one thing above all, helping people navigate through difficult circumstances and situations—finding solutions that help the average person live with greater purpose and fulfillment. This quest to change lives is what pushed me into the field of psychology. It is not enough to merely treat the body, if the mind is still off-balance. My treatment regimen is holistic—attending to your spiritual (christian foundation), mental, and emotional well-being. Towards helping achieve your dream of a clear, focused mind, I employ diverse, flexible and proven psychotherapeutic treatments, depending on your peculiar needs. With 12 years of experience helping individuals and families overcome mental and emotional blocks, with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Family Sessions, Psychoanalysis, and Solution Focused Brief , you can count on an experience that enriches you. My approach to treatment is one that combines counseling, psychotherapy, and aspects of spirituality to provide you with a holistic balance to your life. Over my years of practice, this has helped my clients overcome addiction, anxiety, depression, and other mental health challenges, as well as regaining a healthy marriage and family life. NOTICE: I will counsel out-of-state and international clients virtually. You will need to complete the subscriber agreement which states you will agreed not to use the BetterHelp platform for crises.

Navigating today's complicated world can be incredibly difficult... Romantic relationships, family, job, finances, health, general stress... And who can we talk to when we need to confide our deepest challenges? Who do we turn to when we've tried everything we can think of and finally realize we need some help? Choose a therapist who gets real results! Unlike most of my colleagues who mainly utilize Psychoanalytic and Cognitive-Behavioral (CBT) therapies, my practice also uses Solution-Focused and Motivational-Enhancement approaches. I've extensive experience successfully counseling clients through relationship issues, anxiety, depression, substance use (including food/weight gain), confidence and self-esteem, sexual and performance issues, grief/loss and trauma, as well as other more serious psychological challenges... As a generalist I will help you face any and all obstacles that have stood in the way of your becoming the best you that you can be. Whether this is your first time seeking help or if you've not gotten the results you hoped for from therapy in the past, together we will take a fresh new approach, make quick progress, and then support those gains as you move forward... Life is meant to be lived and enjoyed, not endured. You deserve some inner peace, so let's get you on the road towards a fresh start!

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.
