Therapists in Florida

Hi! My name is Claire and I'm a licensed mental health therapist with the state of Florida. I received my master in mental health counseling in 2013 and have been working in the field since then. I've worked in all aspects of mental health including private practice, outpatient services, and inpatient therapy services. I enjoy working with an approach that is centered in cognitive behavioral therapy that also stems in solution focused brief therapy and person-centered theory. I have a practice in gaining the rapport of my patient through being able to work with them to understand each individual and to set specific goals so we always know where we are going. Sometimes counseling is a bit like a road trip, without the map we wouldn't know where we are going. My strengths in counseling include depression, anxiety, stress, increasing self-esteem and confidence, coping with life issues, as well as coping with addictions. I also have background in working with bipolar disorder, coping with trauma, increasing communication skills, family/relationship conflicts, and anger management. I look forward to being able to help you in any of these areas or any that may spring up throughout our counseling process. Coming into therapy can be a difficult journey, but it will be the most worthwhile journey for you and I'll be happy to be able to help you throughout the journey. Let's do this together to be able to make the best of it all!

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'm so happy you find yourself here in this moment. Reaching out for help is hard.

I want to applaud you for taking that step and hopefully I'll be there when you take the next one and start the work. I've worked in a variety of settings from community behavioral health, domestic violence services, healthcare, and with veterans. I also provide support and assist caregivers for those experiencing dementia specifically. I provide a person-centered and strengths-based approach that focuses on centering your priorities whatever they may be. I believe you are the expert in your life and I am here to support you as we work together in a collaborative therapeutic relationship. I know it can be challenging to find the right therapist and you may have had some negative experiences in the past. Whether it is developing new coping skills, working through grief, or setting some boundaries in your relationships. I'm here when you're ready to reach out. Please contact me with any questions.

I am a licensed mental health counselor practicing in the state of Florida for the past 13 years. Much of my experience comes from working in a community mental health non-profit. This has given me the good fortune to work with adults and adolescents from all walks of life with all sorts of struggles, from mood disorders such as depression, difficulties with anger management and anxiety, to struggles within a family or relationship, to finding ways to cope with the everyday stressors that come with living in a very complicated time. I am a firm believer that anyone can benefit from counseling without some negative stigma. We all have times when a little outside perspective can help. I believe therapy should be an active conversation; we have moved far beyond laying on a couch and staring at a ceiling. My interventions often tend to be eclectic - a mixture of cognitive behavioral therapy, existentialism, solution focused treatment, client centered treatment, and even some humor when appropriate. Opening up about the difficulties we face can be a challenging but liberating experience. I applaud you taking this first step, and look forward to working with you.

I am licensed in Florida with over 40 years of professional experience. I agree with the philosophy that crisis is a combination of danger and opportunity. Human beings are very delicate emotionally and can suffer tremendously. My clinical experiences over the years have been very broad from child service agencies to residential treatment to outpatient psychiatry. Currently I work with individuals and families who struggle with with anxiety, depression, and relationship problems. I welcome longer term, deeper therapy work as well as problem-focused counseling with cognitive-behavioral interventions. Psychotherapy is essentially the process of understanding and embracing the givens of our biology and personality and why we behave and feel the way we do. No more and no less. Responding proactively to problems in one's health, career, and close relationships can create significant opportunities for positive changes and personal growth. Being married for 42 years (still), raising two kids and contributing to the domestic tranquility with extended family and close friends has been my most challenging and rewarding experience. The quality of my relationships and the quality of my persistent inner dialogue along with my physical health determine the QUALITY of my life.
