Working with a compassionate mental health professional can help you through a variety of challenges, including behavioral issues, eating disorders, and the symptoms of mental health conditions like anxiety or depression. 

While therapy can be an effective way to achieve optimal well-being, many clients may find local counseling services aren’t always easy to find and face barriers to in-person sessions, like transportation challenges or schedule conflicts.

Whether you have a stressful job putting together successful community service projects or are finishing a master’s program at Florida Atlantic University, it can be challenging to fit therapy into your schedule. With an online platform like BetterHelp, you can work with a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC), psychologist, or other mental health provider from the comfort of your home at a time that suits your schedule. Plus, you can change providers anytime for no additional fee until you find the right therapist. 

While BetterHelp provides individual treatment, working with a therapist one-on-one can help people learn coping strategies that can affect the people around them and even help families overcome their challenges as a unit. If you’re looking for a therapist in Davie, FL, or the Fort Lauderdale area, connect with one of the BetterHelp providers below to learn more.

I am a licensed clinical social worker in Florida with more than 20 years of experience in the field, I have helped hospice patients work through end of life issues and I've worked with caregivers to address family conflicts, compassion fatigue and caregiver burnout. I've also helped people with depression and anxiety find ways to move through their emotional pain to live more comfortably in a difficult world. As a member of the LGBTQ+ community I have worked with clients in all phases of finding and embracing their place on the gender / orientation spectrum, as well as their friends and family members who may also be struggling to understand and/ or accept what this journey encompasses. I use a wide variety of modalities, including motivational interviewing, bibliotherapy, elements of narrative therapy and CBT techniques to break the cycle of anxiety and negative thought processes. My work is solution focused, and the direction we take is always decided by you, the client. There is no better time than now to reach out for support. I'm glad you have taken this first step and I look forward to sharing this process with you.

Hi! My name is Staici, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with sixteen years of clinical experience. My passion and drive to help people originated when I was a teenager and my mother received a diagnosis of Schizophrenia. I set out to essentially "save" my mom and others suffering from mental health issues. During my professional studies, I took every psychology and social service course available because I developed a fascination with how the mind works and how it effects human behavior. I received a Graduate degree from Fordham University in 2007. I also learned how to navigate the system and was able to connect my mom to the services she needed and, boy did it help! I got my best friend back and realized how effective mental health treatment really is. I stayed true to my calling and can honestly say I love what I do! I possess extensive knowledge and experience working with all different age groups, races, and ethnicities in various treatment settings such as schools, outpatient clinics, hospitals and homes. I am certified and trained in Motivational Interviewing, CBT, trauma- informed care. client -centered treatment and mediation. What can I offer you? I will provide you with a safe, genuine, nonjudgmental space. You will receive consistent support and empowerment and we will move at a pace that is most comfortable for you. I will leave you with one of my favorite poems and hope to hear from you! Autobiography in Five Short Chapters I. I walk down the street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I fall in. I am lost. I am helpless. It isn't my fault. It takes forever to find a way out. II. I walk down the same street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I still don't see it. I fall in again. I can't believe I am in the same place. It isn't my fault. It still takes a long time to get out. III. I walk down the same street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I see it there, I still fall in. It's habit. It's my fault. I know where I am. I get out immediately. IV. I walk down the same street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I walk around it. V. I walk down a different street.
