12 years of experience

I am a licensed psychologist with over 10 years of clinical experience. I completed my doctoral training in Clinical Psychology at the University of South Florida followed by clinical internship in Medical and Health Psychology at the University of Florida/Shands Hospital. I completed a two year postdoctoral fellowship at the University of South Florida Department of Internal Medicine specializing in eating/weight disorders, anxiety, OCD, depression and general stress management. More recently, I have had the privilege of providing mental health services to our nation's veterans, many of whom are adjusting to life with a spinal cord injury or disease (trauma, ALS, MS). I have additional certification in evidence-based treatment for PTSD and trauma. Although I am trained to provide research-supported therapies for a multitude of emotional and behavioral problems (e.g., Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Mindfulness, Exposure Therapy, Behavioral Therapy), I find it very important to individualize therapy based one's unique circumstances and needs. I also understand that sometimes life can just seem a bit overwhelming, and what is most helpful is more general stress management and support through a difficult life transition or situation. Therapy is a collaborative process, and we will work together to determine your specific needs and goals. I am so glad you are considering some extra support. It certainly takes courage to reach out for help. I look forward to working with you!

Hello, my name is Gail Amalfitano. I am a licensed mental health counselor. I have specialized in trauma, mood disturbances, and in substance. I am trained in EMDR. I have broad experience as a psychotherapist. I love working with individuals, and families. I also have experience with anxiety, depression, bipolar, codependency, negative thinking styles, phase of life, adjustment issues, self-esteem, social anxiety, feeling stuck, conflicts in relationships, loss of a sense of self, and other issues we face in life that can be confusing or just make us question our own perspectives. I love the work I do! I am completely invested in helping you feel better and find resolution to whatever issue may be a barrier to your sense of happiness. I am person-centered in my approach. I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, brief therapy, positive psychology and solution-focused techniques. I am flexible in my approach as there is no one-size-fits-all approach to counseling. I provide reading material, video clips, handouts, and also recommend some self help articles or websites to help increase knowledge for my clients to learn about the topic or area for which they need help. I believe knowledge is empowering and learning is a life-long process that enhances our ability to tolerate life and learn about ourself. For me, counseling starts out with gathering information from the client that can help shed light on the issues. From there, we talk. I believe that counseling is part listening, part problem solving, part empowering and validating the individual, and part teaching which we call psychoeducation. I am flexible in my approach and for some individuals they might need more of some parts and less of other parts. This is fine and with honest communication, I adjust to meet my client's needs. Counseling is an adaptable process that evolves over time and as the individual's needs change or evolve. It is a journey unique to each individual. I am nonjudgmental, empathetic, supportive, and I have lots of understanding. I realize it takes great courage to reach out to another person and trust is paramount. You can be sure I will treat you with respect and value your trust! I also value your feedback and your requests. I look forward to walking WITH YOU on your journey! No issue is too big or too small. I can be there for you to listen, to offer ideas, or provide support and validation. I believe in possibilities, options, and solutions. I am passionate about this work and I am happy to share my enthusiasm, hope, and inspiration with you. Let's get started, together, in finding the answers that you need! I look forward to talking with you and working with you! Please keep in mind finding the right therapist is important and requires exploring method, approach and style. It is not bad or good.

My name is Becky Jacobson, and I am a licensed mental health counselor in the state of Florida and Utah. I have over 15 years of experience. I grew up overseas, and spent most of my early years in India, where my parents worked. Being raised in another country has made me interested in and open to working with other cultures. Having always been interested in counseling, I made a midlife career change, and have found it personally rewarding. My internship was with a community mental health agency, after which I went to work with a medical agency serving Medicare and Hospice patients and families. I have been blessed to work with all age groups, from 5 year olds to 95 year olds! My main focus of practice has been grief therapy and bereavement counseling, but all my clients have presented with many additional concerns such as anxiety, depression, family conflicts, relationship and stress related issues, caregiver fatigue, finding purpose, and learning to navigate a multitude of life's challenges. The counseling style I use is warm, empathic, conversational and interactive. My goal is to develop trust and rapport and maintain a mutual understanding and connection with my clients. Cognitive-behavioral, solution focused, and person centered are the types of therapy that I utilize. I find great joy in empowering clients to make positive changes and overcome challenges they may be facing! Due to licensing regulations, I am only able to work with clients who physically reside in the state of Florida or Utah, and are currently in that state.

12 years of experience

I am a licensed psychologist in Florida with about 12 years of professional work experience. I help people who experience stress and anxiety, coping with grief and loss, as well as depression and those who have been diagnosed with bipolar disorders. I provide clinical “holistic psychotherapy” for individuals. My early training is in behavioral medicine (an interdisciplinary field that studies the connections between the mind, the body, and the emotions). Through the years, I expanded my training towards a “spiritual integrative approach to psychotherapy.” This includes the application of techniques like mindfulness and meditation, among others. It is my belief that each person deserves a respectful consideration of their path of self-examination, and it is my position is to recognize, and adjust my treatment approach to this and your path. In general terms, I assist people to identify and understand the origin of their symptoms by exploring behavioral, cognitive, and emotional patterns, that may identify a.) lifestyle (physicality, exercise, drug use, sleeping patterns, etc.), b.) core beliefs or “negative programming,” c.) moderate to severe emotional fluctuations, and d.) other manifestations that may arise. My goal is for you to experience greater self-awareness and clarity at all levels, which will afford you new ways and skills for dealing with the concerns and issues that brought you here. I usually work with people at a minimum frequency of once per week, but other arrangements can be agreed upon based on progress and other reasons. I usually begin our first meeting with a consultation. During this session, we will clarify your needs and presenting issues; discuss relevant personal and family history; and explore the 'fit' between us. At the conclusion of this session, I will share my initial impressions about your presenting problems and my ideas about how we should continue our relationship. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialogue and your treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and you should be proud of yourself for getting started!

Regardless of their licensure, they are trained able to treat individuals and couples counseling, and sometimes children, in any type of therapy in the Florida City 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 Florida City 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 Florida City 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 Florida City 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 Florida City 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 Florida City 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 Florida City 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.

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

One of the potentially rewarding aspects of working with a Florida City 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 Florida City 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 Florida City 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 33034 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 Florida City counselor?

Before seeing your Florida City 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. Florida City 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 Florida City 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 Florida City 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 Florida City, 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.

Florida City 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.
