Hi, I'm Stacey. I'm a Florida Licensed Clinical Social Worker (#SW16157). I have 10+ years of experience as a mental/behavioral health psychotherapist working with widely varied populations and cultures in different settings, which have included online telehealth platforms, assisted living and skilled nursing facilities, clients' own homes, facilities for in-patient and out-patient addictions and mental health treatment, and private offices. I've worked with individuals ages 15 years old on up to 90 years old for one-on-one therapy, group sessions, and at times families and couples. My experience includes helping those struggling with such issues as anxiety, stress, depression, bipolar, borderline, trauma/PTSD, some phobias, OCD, ADHD, grief, self-esteem, self-identity, self-doubt, relationships with self or others, codependency, conflict avoidance, conflict and impulse control, communication and social skills, maladaptive coping, parenting, life transitions, life balance, sense of purpose and life meaning, spirituality, goals, motivation, medical problems, pain syndromes, substance misuse and other behavioral addictions. I have specialized training in MI (motivational interviewing), CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy), SFBT (solution-focused brief therapy, MBCT (mindfulness-based cognitive therapy), somatic therapy, CPT (cognitive processing for trauma), mindfulness, ACT (acceptance and commitment therapy), teaching mindfulness skills and meditation, body movement, communication skills training, and laughter therapy. I tend to use an integrative approach that combines some elements from more than one of the above modalities for side-by-side use or a more linear use of transitioning from one modality to another at appropriate points in time or therapy benchmarks. I sometimes incorporate aspects from Narrative, Gestalt, Psychodynamic, or DBT therapies. You won't be receiving cookie-cutter help as your course of therapy will be as unique as you are. Some folks understandably don't have much interest in detailed time-consuming explanations about the modalities put together for their therapy, yet others have felt less powerless over the process by gaining understanding of the what's, how's, and why's of it. Some people feel a need to understand a rationale before making changes; this can be a factor in motivating change, reducing anxiety about risks or the unknown, and leading to a sense of empowerment as an active partner in their own therapy. However, via developing a trusting therapeutic rapport between us, it's also perfectly understandable if you have little interest in becoming a psych expert during the limited time we have in session! Whatever your expectations, desired approach, or interpersonal style, the point is forward movement toward your goals and not as much in how we get you there. My practice frameworks includes person-centered (meet the client where they are, and you are the expert on your own life experiences), systems theory (you or your problem don’t exist in a vacuum, and your environment and relationships matter), culturally sensitive (you are the teacher/expert on your own culture and life), and trauma-informed (your trauma is unique to you, and I prioritize not to re-traumatize), strengths-based (you are equipped with your own innate resources--strengths and qualities--that can be uncovered or revitalized to help tackle some issues in the present), and humanistic (to help develop a healthy sense of self, explore feelings, find meaning). My style is fairly laid back, and I look forward to some chuckles together (hopefully at appropriate times, of course!) I’m empathetic and caring, and am told by clients that they don't feel negatively judged by me. My aim is for you to feel a sense of safety for open and honest sharing. I’m NOT overly passive with only “uh hu”s as I try and be your guide toward revelations that matter most to you, and I’m not shy about providing feedback or asking for yours. I am also an RN (Registered Nurse-Florida), which is useful when I teach about the mind-body connections, medications, medical ailments, brain neurochemistry. I like providing psychoeducation; for example, learning about what’s happening in your body during anxiety can help alleviate some anxiety about your anxiety; or, learning some communication tricks can help you avoid or resolve interpersonal conflict. Most importantly, I take a collaborative approach with you. I believe success requires a partnership, development of trust, mutual respect, and a sense of safety for you to be yourself in this therapeutic process. Therapy with me is a “we” thing. Keeping me continuously informed of how you are experiencing this process with me allows me to help you through these challenges and changes, and collaboratively adjust your goals and the course we are on. I strongly recommend that my clients take an active role in their therap; evidence shows “it works if you work it”. Even the smallest of tasks or work between sessions (and sometimes some repetition) leads to more rapid, effective, and lasting improvement. At times, I may provide you with simple worksheets, assessments, or a homework assignment, but again, this is a collaborative effort and I value your input. To gain the most from the therapy process, it’s helpful if you are honest with yourself about your level of commitments to self-examination, understanding, and our relationship. This includes any concerns you may have regarding services or me. I want to serve you well and appreciate any feedback you may have that will help me to do so. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling life and willingness to take action towards change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey. I look forward to meeting you! NOTE: Please message me if you don't see a time slot open that works for you.

Understanding the type of therapy you'd like to search for is crucial before finding a therapist or psychologist in Fellsmere. Perhaps you're interested in narrowing your search for a psychotherapist that can offer psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral (CBT), talk therapy, provide group therapy, marriage and family therapy for individuals or couples, or couples therapy. Each type of support of this kind with BetterHelp therapists can offer various benefits and address or treat different disorders. If you're still unsure or are new to counseling in Fellsmere, feel free to contact the provider via email to find out which methods they practice.

It is also important to understand that mental health professionals in the United States are accredited to provide care, helping individuals and couples, with a variety of licenses for therapists. These include licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT), licensed clinical social worker (LCSW), and clinical psychologist or doctor of psychology (PsyD). Regardless of their licensure, they are trained able to treat individuals and couples counseling, and sometimes children, in any type of therapy in the Fellsmere region and in the state of Florida. Find a therapist under any of these distinctions and know that the sessions they offer can provide a safe place to heal.

A mental health counselor working through their own in-person therapy practice in Fellsmere or online may assist clients in improving healthy relationships, communication skills, working through life transitions, couples counseling, managing a mood disorder, improving coping skills, self help tips, offer life coaching, family therapy, or change in negative thinking patterns.

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 Fellsmere 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 Fellsmere 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 Fellsmere 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 Fellsmere 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 Fellsmere online therapy platform verified?

All of these psychology clinicians have a Masters Degree or a Doctorate Degree in their field of psychology sciences, and follow the APA Code of Ethics. 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. 

Please note BetterHelp does not offer or provide care from Fellsmere psychiatrists to prescribe a drug or medication as treatment, or perform psychological assessments and other psychiatric services.

You can also try a Fellsmere provider through BetterHelp's sister platform, ReGain, which is dedicated to couples and spouses worldwide with licensed therapists. 

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

One of the potentially rewarding aspects of working with a Fellsmere 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 Fellsmere 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 Fellsmere 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 32948 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 Fellsmere counselor?

Before seeing your Fellsmere 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. Fellsmere 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 Fellsmere 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 Fellsmere 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 Fellsmere, 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.

Fellsmere 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.
