I am a therapist with thirty years of experience. I have worked in community mental health and private practice, providing a wealth of knowledge and experience with the seriously and persistently mentally ill, along with conditions such as depression, anxiety, interpersonal conflict, and personality disorders. I have a history of couple's therapy, although currently I am not accepting clients of this type. My approach is caring and compassionate, and I'll want to hear about your symptoms and strategies you've used for dealing with them. In addition, I'll want to know about your living situation and family of origin to get a better sense of whom you are. I use a variety of modalities including interpersonal therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy and solution focused therapy. In addition, I'll use other approaches, depending on what you are dealing with and what will help you in the best way possible. I'll look forward to meeting you soon to begin your journey of improving your life situation. I especially enjoy working with females suffering with low self esteem, codependency, life adjustment and relationship issues. Some additional points: If you have had suicidal thoughts, with or without intent, within the past year, my recommendation is that you seek more intensive treatment than online therapy. I understand that all of us have emergencies and are sometimes late for an appointment. If you are late, I will wait for you for fifteen minutes, but after that, I will ask you to reschedule so you get the benefits of your whole session. I also expect you to attend your appointments. We all have emergencies; but, with that said, if you no show or cancel without 48 hours advance notice more than once, I will ask you to be reassigned to another therapist.

Hello! My name is Nicki, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor for clients located in Florida. I have eight years of experience providing therapy in residential addiction treatment, prison, and individuals online. I have worked with patients and clients with widely varying presenting problems including anxiety, depression, low self-worth, codependency, family/relationship issues, guilt, shame, and trauma, to name a few in addition to addiction. I have helped people learn healthy coping skills to reduce maladaptive strategies such as substance use, self harm, negative thought, and other self-defeating behaviors, and begin to build satisfying lives for themselves. I grew up in Michigan, and explored unrelated career paths while moving through my life and relocating eventually to Florida. Life experience inspired me to my destination as a therapist, and in mid-life I earned my BA in Psychology and MS in Clinical Mental Health Counseling online. I am now living in Michigan and am grateful for the portability of telemental health! I have found that people need a safe person to share their innermost experiences with and to be met with unconditional positive regard to break the barriers that stand in the way of progress toward improved mental well-being. I approach therapy with a client-centered orientation with the ability to adjust with appropriate modalities to clients' needs as they are presented, with the goal of increasing clients' understanding and acceptance of and compassion toward themselves. I enjoy learning about others' experiences and interacting in a fun yet soothing way. Exploration of experiences without negative judgment can lead to amazing and meaningful change! While therapy is a very satisfying occupation, I also enjoy making a multitude of things, reading, movies, organizing, and spending time being silly with family.

Hello, my name is Stephanie Kohn. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in the state of Florida. I earned a BA in Psychology at University of West Florida in Pensacola, FL and a Masters of Science Clinical Mental Health Counseling at the University of North Florida in Jacksonville, FL. I started out working in a Community Health setting 9 years ago as a Rape Recovery Advocate and then transitioned in 2014 to a Mental Health Counselor role for Sexual Assault Survivors and their families. I also worked with children and their families as a therapeutic based on site therapist through a nonprofit for children's health and wellbeing. Both of these roles afforded me the opportunity to specialize in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) for ages 6 and older focusing on issues such as coping with trauma, sexual assault, spouse abuse, domestic violence, adoption loss, family integration, anxiety, PTSD, infertility, postpartum depression, grief and loss and major life changes. I am also a Certified Intrinsic Coach (CIC) through Intrinsic Solutions International and have 10 years experience in Human Resources with various companies prior to becoming a therapist. My counseling style integrates techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Acceptance and Commitment, Solution-Focused, Motivational Interviewing, and Somatic (mind-body connection) depending on the clients needs and personality. I have a natural passion to learn about people and approach clients with open curiosity ready to understand their world and how I can support through any trauma or changes. I strive to create a space free of judgment to gently encourage clients to explore emotions, thoughts, beliefs and fears so that they may understand themselves better. With awareness, clients are empowered to change their own futures. “Awareness is all about restoring your freedom to choose what you want instead of what your past imposes on you.” Deepak Chopra Reaching out for Therapy is a difficult choice and I am so glad you did. I look forward to creating a strong therapeutic rapport and working together to achieve your desired goals.

I am a seasoned therapist with over 25 years of experience, that has ranged from helping persons living in the inner-city of Chicago as they learned to recover from an addiction and abuse/ trauma- related experiences, to helping families displaced from Hurricane Katrina, as well as working with men and their families, teaching and coaching the development of improved self-image, interpersonal, and fathering skills to heal and re- build their relationships affected by sexual, emotional, physical abuse, and neglect in their family histories. Of course, over the years I have had many persons with less severe issues and focus on here-and-now concerns that are affecting their quality of life. Whether you choose short-term or longer-term counseling I have expertise in multiple therapy modalities but always view each person with a multi-cultural lens so I may understand each person in the contexts of which they experience their own unique life.
