Therapists in Florida

Welcome! I am a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) in Florida, where I have been working professionally since 2014. My expertise has run the gambit from supplemental counseling utilizing animals as therapeutic tools, assessing and psychoeducating individuals involuntarily committed into inpatient facilities, and supporting incarcerated persons in learning to move on from poor decisions. I have worked with those who nearly lost hope in being able to live a gratifying and fulfilled life as a result of being diagnosed with psychiatric disorders, experiencing the negative consequences of impulsive choices, and coping with obstacles beyond their control. I truly believe all life experiences and personal qualities can be used as strengths and gifts, as long as you are viewing them from the right perspective. It is my goal as a counselor to provide the support, education, and confidence necessary in order for my clients to find their “right” perspectives. I tend to primarily operate within the experiential therapeutic modality in my practice; meaning, I subscribe to the belief where the work and growth is most effective when done in the “here and now.” While I employ tools and techniques from a multitude of other psychological models, such as CBT, solution-focused, humanistic, psychodynamic, behavioral, and emotional theories in my craft; I feel sessions are most impactful when my clients are able to experience positive gains in the present moment. Even though I counsel through an experiential lens, I practice with the conviction where the therapeutic relationship is most successful when it is person-centered. This means I meet my client where they are cognitively, emotionally, and in their willingness to change. You are the expert in yourself, and I am the expert in making myself the best “tool” with regard to empowering you to become your “best” self. The counseling field has allowed me to seamlessly merge several of my passions: helping people, learning, and tackling challenges. In order to be the best therapist I am capable of being, I regularly attend classes, read pertinent literature, and network with peers in my field. This allows me to stay up to date on the most current tools, techniques, ethical, and legal guidelines in the therapeutic discipline. In my experience, counseling is most productive when it is being done in a safe and supportive environment. With that in mind, I always encourage my clients to remember these are their sessions, so I welcome all feedback regarding what is and is not helpful to them. While I encourage my clients to remain unguarded and honest in their communication with me, I also urge them to be open-minded to exploring and learning alternative viewpoints. I endorse the belief where human beings are meant to continue growing throughout the entirety of their lives in order to experience all of the benefits their world has to offer. I feel honored when someone trusts me with being able to facilitate them in achieving their goals and creating their desired life. I would feel privileged should you choose me to assist you in doing the same! I am very much excited to start working with you now, and in the future!

Platinum Wishes, Dr. Kahilah Jones

My name is Laura Cox. I am an experienced practitioner in the field of social work and counseling. I earned my Bachelors Degree with a minor in Psychology and my Masters Degree in Social Work. I worked for 13 years as a counselor for individuals and families and for almost 3 years as an adjunct professor teaching Masters level Social Work students. I embrace the concepts of understanding a person in their environment and helping people learn how to guide and help themselves. Brief, solution focused therapy is my strong suit. I have experience helping people work through anxiety, depression, grief and helping people and families cope with medical issues. In my off time, I enjoy any adventure. I love any, and all water sports including scuba diving. The ocean is quiet below the waves. I believe a lot can be learned when you remove the noise.

Hello! I am a Clinical Social Worker licensed in the state of Florida. I earned my Bachelor's degree from Brandeis University and completed my Master's degree at Florida International University. I spent much of my career in the non profit arena, working with children, adults and families experiencing a wide range of challenges. I have also supervised therapists and program directors. In addition to clinical activities, I was very involved with continuous quality improvement and quality assurance. This experience allowed me to ensure clinical services were effective, efficient and in compliance with best practice standards. Since there is really not one right way to conduct therapy, it is crucial to monitor the therapeutic interventions to make sure they are effective for each person and his or her unique situation. I am a very warm and caring person, and this can be seen during our first interaction. I truly value the individual and the situations they are currently addressing. Besides the warm and fuzzy , I am also able to view situations objectively and sensibly. I think quickly and positively. I believe in solution focused interventions, and utilize techniques from various approaches to reach goals in a timely manner; including Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Didactic Behavioral (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, Humanistic, Person Centered and Holistic. I am down to earth and have a great sense of humor too. (We all need to laugh sometimes!)

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in sunny South Florida, I've been lucky to work with individuals facing addiction and mental health challenges for over five years. I earned my master's degree in social work from Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton, where I gained valuable experience in providing individual and group therapy services for the treatment of substance use disorders and co-occurring psychiatric conditions at all levels of care. My approach is client-centered, and I tailor my techniques to meet your unique needs. Whether we connect via phone, or chat, my goal is to support you in achieving your mental health and wellness goals. My experience has prepared me to help with a variety of issues, such as anxiety, depression, codependency, career-related concerns, trauma, and grief and loss. I'm dedicated to creating a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental space where you can feel at ease exploring your struggles and working toward positive change. I understand that finding the right therapist and the right mode of communication is crucial for effective therapy. While many clients prefer live video sessions, I want to assure you that phone calls and live chat can be equally effective, especially if you’re waiting for a therapist to become available. 1. **Flexibility and Convenience**: Phone calls and live chat sessions offer greater flexibility, allowing you to connect with me from anywhere, whether you’re at home, at work, or on the go. This can be particularly helpful if you have a busy schedule or limited access to a private space for video calls. 2. **Immediate Support**: Sometimes, waiting for a video session can delay the support you need. With phone calls and live chat, you can receive timely assistance and continue your therapeutic progress without interruption. 3. **Comfort and Privacy**: Some clients find it easier to open up and discuss sensitive topics without the pressure of being on camera. Phone calls and live chat provide a level of anonymity that can make it easier to express your thoughts and feelings. 4. **Effective Communication**: Research has shown that the therapeutic relationship and the quality of communication are more important than the mode of delivery. Phone and chat sessions allow us to build a strong, trusting relationship and work effectively towards your goals. **Let’s Get Started** If you’re ready to take the next step, I’m here to help. Feel free to reach out and schedule a session. Together, we can find the best way to communicate and work towards your well-being.
