I am a Mental Health Therapist and Personal Development Coach licensed in the state of Florida. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, and coping with life stressors. My counseling style is warm, supportive and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, compassion and acceptance. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, person-centered, insight-oriented, and solution-focused therapies. I tailor treatment plans to meet the unique and specific needs of my clients. I obtained my Masters of Science in Mental Health Counseling at Nova Southeastern University. I also attended Florida International University, where I earned a Bachelor of Art in Sociology and Anthropology and a minor in Psychology. As a Mental Health Counselor/Therapist working in the community I quickly realized the need for not only mental health services and awareness, but also guidance and support. My personal and professional experiences led to the creation of Doing the Possible Counseling LLC. Developed from wanting to assist my clients with making positive life changes, reaching their goals, and living happier healthier lives. I provide my clients with the tools necessary to change their mindset and allow themselves to believe that positive change and a happier life is possible. If you are ready to take that step toward a happier life that is uniquely yours, I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you!

11 years offering treatment
Hello! My name is Lynnette Montañez and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 7 years of experience working as a therapist. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, trauma and sexual abuse, substance abuse, parenting problems, ADHD, and Bipolar Disorder, with a special focus in adoption and foster care issues. I am originally from Illinois and relocated to Florida in 2010. I received my undergraduate degree in Social Work from Florida International University and my Master's Degree in Social Work from Barry University. My approach to therapy is interactive and client centered. Building rapport with my clients and gaining a clear understanding of their needs is of utmost importance for me. Using a strengths-based approach, I guide clients in identifying their strengths and work together to develop a treatment plan that will reinforce positive thinking and accomplish their goals. Through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I assist my clients in learning the connection between their thoughts, feelings and behaviors and reinforce reframing negative or dysfunctional thinking/beliefs towards a more constructive reasoning. Using Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), I support clients through developing skills such as mindfulness, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and emotion regulation with the goal of guiding clients towards a more fulfilled life in which they are active and present participants. Outside of my work as a therapist, I also work in private adoptions. I love to read books, cook, play with my dog, and exercise during my free time.

Whether you are an adult or child, life can present with challenges and trials. You may feel overwhelmed or lost. Illness, divorce, death, new jobs, and change are times when we could use extra help. Adjusting to these challenges and figuring out how to cope can leave you stuck sometimes. You may be trying to find yourself again, or facing difficult decisions. Talking to a therapist can help you process your thoughts and feelings, moving you forward in this phase of your life. I have been a licensed clinical social worker more than 20 years. My therapeutic approach is client-centered and solution-focused, utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Techniques as well as relevant psychology theories. I believe we are each unique, even with shared experiences, and therapy should be tailored to the need of an individual. I approach therapy as a partnership, where we work together toward a goal.
