11 years of experience offering psychology treatment
Hello! I've been a licensed psychotherapist in the state of Florida for the past 11 years. I graduated summa cum laude from Barry University with a Master of Social Work. I've worked in different areas of practice, including community mental health, addictions, and children and families. I have a special place in my heart for helping teenagers, parents of children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder, and individuals with anxiety and depression - especially women who have experienced post-partum depression and psychosis. I strive to be my most authentic self and when appropriate, sprinkle in some humor into our sessions. I tap into your existing inner strengths and use those to help you figure out solutions and come up with strategies. I specialize in working with teens and adults who experience issues with stress, self-esteem/confidence, anxiety, family conflict, depression, grief/loss, and trauma (I'm trained in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy). We're a team and we will figure things out together - whatever it is. I deeply care about the people I help. Clinical skills are very important for a therapist to have, but what I think matters most is the rapport and trust clients have with their therapist. I want to empower my clients to build insight and skills to better handle what life throws at them.

Hello, I'm Dr. Linda Chamberlain, a Licensed Psychologist and Certified Addiction Professional. I've been a practicing psychotherapist for over 40 years working with a wide range of populations and concerns. I know that making an initial contact with a therapist can be challenging. Congratulations on taking the first step! If we decide to work together, I'll want to get a deeper understanding of who you are and what's brought you here, how we can best work together, and your goals and aspirations . I value the unique perspective and experience that you bring to our collaboration. I'll want to find out about you and what you're hoping for when we begin therapy and invite you to ask me any questions you have. Building trust is so important to our relationship. I have experience and expertise that can be of help to you, but you are the expert on you. My job is to assist you in becoming the person you most want to be. I use various approaches to therapy including humanistic/existential perspectives, cognitive approaches, Buddhist psychology, and mindfulness techniques. My job is to find out what is most helpful in assisting you to reach your goals. Change and personal growth is often challenging and sometimes extraordinarily difficult, but the transformation that can occur is so valuable. I have been honored to witness people emerge from the fear and suffering that constrains them and become more of the person they long to be. Therapy is the journey toward your better self. I am always delighted when I have the opportunity to be a companion, consultant, and guide in that process. I look forward to getting acquainted and to our work together. I'm ready when you are....

8 years of experience offering psychology treatment
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in the State of Florida and a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP). I have been clinically practicing therapy for over 5 years. I have experience in a range of clinical settings of residential programs, outpatient facilities, school based setting and private practice. I have worked with children, adolescents and adults for individual, couples and family therapy. As we all know we face many troubles within ourselves and without. Whether that be self-esteem, self-doubt, family, relationships, work, financial situations, co-parenting, etc. I believe that we all go through things in life that impacts us more than we know– some good, some bad and some indifferent. We experience some things that we can control and others we cannot. With that, I have found that it has become essential to focus on being INTENTIONAL in the way that you live, interact with others and go forth on your journey through life. I think that if we strive to take action in our life and not settle for the hand that we have been dealt, we can process, heal and grow to great depths. I utilize primarily Narrative and Solution-Focused based Therapy approach as it relates to my systemic background training, which allows for a non-judgmental, open space that allows a collaborative effort to assist you in making the needed changes in your life, because you are the expert! Working with me, collaboratively we will work towards unpacking, becoming more intentional (in the way you live, interact with self and others) and creating the life you deserve. I look forward to working with you!

I am Mark Rogers, a licensed mental health counselor-supervisor (LMHC-S) in Florida. I have practiced person-centered mental health counseling for over 15 years with twenty years of experience in career and daily functioning coaching. My clients have ranged from primary school, adolescents, adults, members of the LGBTQ community, and incarcerated individuals. I have been EMDRIA trained to provide EMDR therapy (eye-movement desensitization and reprocessing) and I use techniques of this within the framework of cognitive behavioral therapy. Trained attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder-certified clinical service provider (ADHD-CCSP), trauma (PTSD and CPTSD). I have the American Society of Clinical Hypnosis Levels 1 and 2 training for clinical hypnotherapy. My modalities include cognitive and dialectical behavioral therapy (CBT and DBT), motivational interviewing (MI), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), EMDR with a goal of solution-focused therapy, and hypnotherapy to address trauma/anxiety/and attachment issues. Our therapeutic relationship is the most important part of counseling. During our sessions, my goal is to help you achieve your goal. I will be more focused on helping you achieve the goals you set than giving a diagnosis/label. I know that the hardest part of getting help is the process of asking (or seeking) help for an issue. Most of us do not want others to see us at less than our best. I feel that my role as a counselor is to genuinely care for my clients. A counselor should avoid judging or putting their value system in the way of progress. The only goal that I personally have for my clients is to achieve the best quality of life that they can create for themselves. I am a facilitator towards progress, but the engine that drives progress is within you. I look forward to meeting you.

4 years of experience offering psychology treatment
I am a licensed mental health counselor in the state of Florida with 4 years of experience working as a counselor and behavioral specialist. I have a vast background in several different careers, from regional management, project management, human resources, and even teaching. I earned an MBA in project management and finance, before becoming a licensed teacher utilizing my bachelors degree in biology. Throughout my teaching experience I learned how traumas in childhood can impact someone through their adulthood. Therefore I went back to school and earned my masters degree in clinical psychology, since then I have worked in inpatient and outpatient substance clinics, forensics with incarcerated individuals, the general public, and the school system. My love and passion is to help others overcome the obstacles that they face with their mental health, and find a way to become happier and healthier in their everyday lives. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, suicidal ideations, relationship issues, career challenges, psychotic disorders and episodes. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse and have post-traumatic stress disorder. There is no "magic wand" that works for everyone so I take a cumulative approach to therapy with cognitive behavioral, humanistic, mindfulness, and psychodynamic therapy at the forefront. I aim to create a space where you will not be judged, but will be unconditionally supported as we navigate through your concerns and fears. I believe that you are the expert on your life, and will bring my expertise in therapy to collaboratively find the relief and the balance that you seek. In every session, you will be met with kindness, unconditional positive regard and a dose of humor. You will do some hard work, but you won't be doing it alone. I will tailor dialog and treatment plans to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change.

How do I know if online counseling is right for my family in Fernandina Beach?
One of the potentially rewarding aspects of working with a therapist is the validation and active listening they can provide.

Counselors 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 Fernandina Beach therapy is having an understanding, safe space with a non-judgmental party who can support you through challenging experiences.

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.

A Fernandina Beach licensed clinical social worker may help you gain power over your life and emotions while you navigate day-to-day experiences.

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. An experienced clinician 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 licensed clinician in Fernandina Beach, 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.
Fernandina Beach 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 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.
