Therapists in Florida

Hello and welcome! I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of Florida, and a Licensed Professional Counselor in the stated of Louisiana. I have over 11 years of counseling experience, working with adults, children and families struggling with challenges such as stress, anxiety, depression, parenting concerns, life transitions and trauma. I work from a strength-based approach, pulling from theories such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-focused Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). This integrative approach allows the ability to tailor counseling to meet individual needs. I enjoy helping others explore personal strengths and possibilities, elements that can be important parts of healing, growth and change. Prior to becoming a counselor, I was an educator, with over 10 years of classroom experience. I believe that the counseling process is a collaborative one, and that building rapport is very important. Let's work together to create goals, and move toward meeting these goals. I work from a place of warmth, respect and encouragement. We all face challenges from time to time. Reaching out for support can be the first step in identifying thoughts and behaviors that are not working for us, and can prompt us to explore new paths toward growth. I welcome working with you on your journey.

I would like to help you. I am an individual, couples, and relationship therapist. You can read about my style in the paragraph below the hashmarks (#########). I work in 45 minute video sessions once a week, unless you are in crisis when I would add another session. You can always reach me by the message feature of the site and I will answer within 24 hours, except weekends. If you have any questions, please message me and I will respond. ############################################### I am a licensed therapist. with 20 years of experience in both private practice and a health care setting. I have worked with people of diverse cultures and orientations, helping both individuals and couples with issues of depression, communications, relationship enhancement, and other issues of daily living. My approach is personal and draws from the many sources and mentors I have been privileged to have studied and worked with during my practice years. I remain open to new ideas and ways of helping my clients, and know inside you are the answers. I, or any therapist, can only help provide you with the self -knowledge you may need to understand and free yourself. Our work is a joint effort where the safety and strength of our bond provides the road to healing. I look forward to hearing from you, if you have any concerns or questions. Sincerely, Jeffrey
