"Whatever opens us is not as important as what it opens" Mark Nepo I have been working in the field of counseling for nearly 27 years. I have often seen my role as joining others for a brief time during their life's journey assisting as they either discover or create a path of fulfillment in life. Throughout my career, I have walked alongside people struggling with grief, loss, including pet loss, addiction, and LGBTQ related issues. I have walked with many through the landscape of shame, guilt, and fear because these are often the places where wounds reside. My counseling style is such that I view each of us as an unfolding story. I strive to hear your story, see where you are, hear what you seek, and collaborate in choosing a desired path. While my practice is predominately based on humanistic and existential theory, I often refer to the work developed by adult children of dysfunctional families known as ACOA. I realize not all needs for support or guidance require deep dives into self. In fact, I found the most profound and common needs are to be heard and to matter. Regardless of the issue, you are presently faced with, may this issue become your teacher.

I believe that change happens when people are given the proper guidance and tools needed to pursue their goals while also giving them the autonomy to pull on their own strengths and qualities that will get them to the finish line. I provide clients with a space full of compassion and support to help them overcome obstacles and move forward in life. My therapeutic experience mostly consists of services provided to adult and adolescent clients struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, family conflict, and stress related issues. I tailor various therapeutic modalities such as, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Positive Psychology and Motivational Interviewing according to the client’s individual needs and wants. I believe that everyone is entitled to pursue and live a fulfilling and happy life. I graduated from the University of Central Florida with my Bachelor’s degree in Social Work in 2014 and soon after graduated from Florida Atlantic University with my Master’s in Social work in 2015 through the Advanced Standing Program. I have gained years of experience in a variety of settings and with diverse clients, including long term and brief interventions. Areas of concentration include: • Adults, children and adolescents with behavioral issues • Anxiety, depression and other various DSM V diagnosis • Life stresses and next steps • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy interventions and techniques provided via individual, group, or family sessions • Psychoeducation and referral resources to aide client and family experiencing need. I believe that a large part of wellness is having healthy, meaningful relationships, not just with others, but with ourselves. Change happens when we are honest with ourselves about what is missing in our lives, and what we need from ourselves and others. I am willing to work together building skills that will help you move forward in life.

Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing Psychotherapy & Coaching Services. I have worked as a Mental Health Professional for the past 18 years. I have experience supporting others while working in Child Welfare, Psychiatric Research, Crisis Intervention/Counseling, Active Duty Military, In/Outpatient Therapy, & Hospice. I am delighted to work with those seeking TeleHealth Services & feel so thankful this outlet exists, especially in this uncertain time of an International Pandemic. I specialize in Client-Centered & Solution-Focused Therapies while striving to help achieve a sense of Empowerment for my clients. My practice is based on the premise that all human systems are interconnected. An example would be a person's chronic pain exacerbating their level of anxiousness. Often the anxiety we experience also agitates our pain level. It proves challenging to discern which came first when both are heightened. The more we learn & know about ourselves, the easier it is to know "what to do". My goal is to aid in that process & then work towards what works best to put into routine in effort to have a fulfilling, & high, overall quality of life. I am very much looking forward to working with you & am hopeful we can work together to achieve your goals!

Frequently asked questions (FAQs) about therapists and mental health services

Some other commonly asked questions on therapy with a licensed counselor and BetterHelp serving the Caryville area can be found below:

How does the cost of in-person counseling with a therapist compare to the cost of BetterHelp with a licensed Caryville therapist?

The average price of an in-person therapy session in the US with most therapists is $100 to $200 per hour. These prices may be higher in Caryville due to a higher cost of living, and a limited number of therapists taking new clients. The price also depends on the type of provider you are looking for. See the following average prices for various mental health providers without insurance:

  • Counseling with a psychiatrist: $150-$500
  • Counseling with therapists: $100-300
  • Therapy with a psychologist: $100

While many psychologists in Caryville may not take health insurance, some in the state of Florida may work on a sliding scale, meaning they'll factor in your income and charge what you can afford per session. With a BetterHelp therapist throughout the state of Florida you can expect significantly more affordable options, with therapists sessions ranging from $65 to $100 per week (billed every four weeks). 

How is a licensed therapist on this Caryville online therapy platform verified?

Therapists have been qualified and certified by their state's professional board after successfully completing the necessary education, exams, training and practice with a patient, and extensive experience in a healthcare clinic or treatment centers, in order to become a mental health provider. While their lived experience, expertise, careers, and background vary, therapists here all possess at least 3 years and 1,000 hours of hands-on experience with adult and sometimes teen patients, and have the necessary therapist credentials to provide a safe space for long lasting emotional healing in therapy.

How do I know if online counseling is right for my family in Caryville?

One of the potentially rewarding aspects of working with a Caryville therapist is the validation and active listening they can provide. Your friends and loved ones may also be available to listen, but you may feel that they may lack the skills to provide objective guidance. Counselors and therapists are trained to respond to various concerns, symptoms, and mental health conditions.

Therapists in your city can support you toward a healthier emotional state, regardless of your mental health, life concerns, or healing needs. While supporting individuals in developing healthier habits, another good benefit of Caryville therapy is having an understanding, safe space with a non-judgmental party who can support you through challenging experiences.

Many people have sensitive topics that they may feel ashamed to discuss with their friends or partner. A Caryville therapist can help you confront these concerns and open up through unique methods of support. There are also many types of therapy, such as art therapy, where you may find you can express yourself through creativity instead of words with a psychotherapist.

With a lot of people in FL, therapists may be booked out with clients. Through the list of profiles or therapists above and others within BetterHelp's team, you may be able to find a psychologist within 24 to 48 hours. If you're searching to find a a nearby psychotherapist close to 32427 or the surrounding zip codes, consider others available through the BetterHelp site where you can schedule a session based on your and the therapist's schedule. No matter if you are seeking help from therapists in your area or beyond, online therapy can be a great option.

How should I prepare for my first therapy session with a Caryville counselor?

Before seeing your Caryville therapist, prep for your session by reading to understand the process. You might write a list of questions you want to ask your psychotherapist, any emotional pain you may feel, and the ways in which you hope to improve. When you attend your session, you can let our therapists know if you have any concerns or feel unsure about what to talk about. Caryville therapists here may help guide you with open-ended therapeutic questions while offering mental health services. The first session will often serve as an intake to get to know you as a person and learn why you're attending therapy.

Should I find a therapist or psychologist for therapy if I feel fine? 

Some simply don't feel the need to see a psychologist. However, some people may avoid attending therapy due to stigma or preconceived notions of what it might entail. Although psychologists often support people with mental health conditions, you do not need a diagnosis or specific condition. You can discuss grief, relationship concerns, stress, or life changes and ask for general feedback. A Caryville licensed clinical social worker may help you gain power over your life and emotions while you navigate day-to-day experiences.

Gaining a new perspective on yourself through various therapies might allow you to improve your self-esteem, work through relationships, and gain a better sense of your mental health goals. The success you may find with a Caryville counselor can be dependent on your process.

People may also attend therapy for specific motives, such as bullying, an autism diagnosis, a desire to learn mindfulness meditation, personality concerns, trouble with office workers, specific phobias, and many other principles that a counselor can help with.

Is mental health care and therapy with a therapist worth it?

Therapy with a licensed counselor is effective and has the power to change individuals' lives. Each client is at a different stage of their emotional healing journey in life, as each human can be unique in their personality, expression, skills, and goals. A psychologist can target various symptoms, experiences, and personalities to help you feel your best and put you on the path to healing. Unlike advice from a friend, family, or non-professional, a mental health therapist has an understanding of various disorders like ADHD and depression with many hours of experience in treating adults in their practice. For this reason, seeing an evidence based psychologist in Caryville, Florida can be worth it. Over 41 million adults in the US attend therapy services each year, showing it's a popular option and is proven to be effective.

Caryville has many clinicians who practice person or client-centered individual therapy in-person and through online sessions to assist clients in their healing journey. If you opt into online therapy, you might also be able to meet with providers all over the United States and change therapists easily at any time. Many people struggling with anxiety and depression, substance abuse, body image issues, and more find therapists that are a good fit for them, feel supported, and gain further insight into their lives through internet-based therapy.

Do therapists judge you in therapy sessions during telehealth appointments?

The boundaries between you and a therapist are in place to help you and them regarding ethical concerns. Mental health professionals are held by ethical standards through the American Psychological Association (APA) and are not allowed to judge or harm their clients. If you are concerned about sharing details about yourself, feel free to withhold personal information. Their job in the therapeutic relationship is to create a safe place, help you gain a deeper understanding of your mental health, and support you. You might consider changing counselors if you don't feel safe or respected.
