Therapists in Florida

Hello and Welcome! My name is Vanessa and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Florida, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Mexico & South Carolina. I am bilingual(English & Spanish) and can provide counseling in both languages. I am originally from New York and moved to South Florida for college and never left.   I have lived in South Florida for over 15 years and have built both a family and career here, I guess the sunny warm weather made it hard to go back :-)   My clinical background in Mental Health began as an undergrad and continued through grad school, working for the public sector for the Department of  Children & Families where I worked with children, then the elderly in skilled nursing facilities and with adolescents in group homes.  I then went on to work and provide services that include counseling and advocacy for oncology patients at one of the largest cancer hospitals in South Florida. In addition to this, I have also worked with adults in inpatient rehab for substance abuse and court ordered treatment, and served outpatient clients in the LGBTQ community. My training is in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT),  Psychodynamic, Solution Focused,  and many others that include treatment planning; where my goal is to get my client back to a normal baseline that they are comfortable with and can function in their daily life. I am an open minded, kindhearted and empathetic individual, where my mantra is that I am here for YOU, my job is to assist you in anyway that I can, and help you manage life's daily stressors that may be recent or long-term.  I work daily to remove the stigma that Mental Health has in our society, because the reality is, we all have good and bad days, some just need some assistance and guidance on how to manage it better. I believe we are all one step away from a mental health crisis, life is one big roller coaster of stress, worry, emotion that all revolve around something changing in our life that we were not prepared for and do not know how to adjust to it. So my job is to help you navigate all of that and achieve happiness, peace and overall well being.  You are more than welcomed to message me through Better Help, and be proud that seeking assistance for yourself is one of the bravest things we as human beings can do for ourselves is admit when we need help. My schedule is flexible and am able to provide services in the evenings to accommodate the working person.  Session hours: EST I look forward to working with you! 

My name is Nusrat Karim, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. I graduated with my Master's from Florida International University. My life’s goal is to end mental health stigma wherever I go, and to help bring awareness in the communities I work in and with the individuals that I work with. I strongly believe that therapy is to help someone get through a difficult experience, and to help individuals and families heal in the process. My main therapeutic approach is cognitive behavioral health, but I also like to use person centered therapy, brief solution focused therapy, motivational interviewing, and I like to incorporate mindfulness in my practice. I have experience working with both adults and youth. I have experience working with individuals suffering from depression, anxiety, attention deficit hyperactive disorder, conduct disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, anger management, adjustment disorder, poor coping skills and social skills. 

I am able to build good rapport quickly, and I have been told by others that I have good communication skills. I am able to actively listen without judgement, show empathy and be honest with others. I look forward to meeting and working with you!

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.

Are you ready to take the first step towards a more fulfilling and happier life? As a licensed family and marriage counselor in Florida, I am here to provide you with the support and empowerment you need to achieve your goals. With over 15 years of experience in Couples and in Medical Family Therapy, I have worked with clients from all walks of life and with a wide range of concerns. From loss and grief to depression, anxiety, relationship issues, career challenges, and family problems, I have helped many people find their way back to happiness and fulfillment. My counseling style is warm and interactive, and I believe in treating every client with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I don't believe in labels, and I will work with you to create a customized treatment plan that meets your unique needs. Whether you're adjusting to a new health diagnosis or facing a challenging life transition, I am here to help you navigate the journey. My approach to counseling combines cognitive-behavioral, narrative-language based, and solution-focused techniques to help you achieve your goals. Our work together will be focused on your specific needs and concerns, and I will provide you with the tools and strategies you need to achieve lasting change. It takes strength to seek help and take the first steps towards a better life. But you don't have to do it alone. I am here to walk this path with you and provide you with the support and guidance you need to achieve your goals. If you're ready to take that step, I look forward to working with you!

My approach to therapy is direct and I like to jump right in. Sessions can be emotionally draining, but they can also be extremely rewarding. You will begin to experience things differently and see the possibilities before you that you may never have before considered. Therapy can be the greatest gift you ever give to yourself--and to those with whom you have a relationship. Learning to understand why you think, behave, interact, and love the way you do is transformative. This insight and knowledge gives you the power to direct your own life, make your own choices, and do so with confidence. Perhaps it is time to work with a professional. If you think you might like working with me or if you'd like to visit to see if we would be a good fit, please reach out. Thanks, and I hope to speak with you soon.
