Many of us can end up feeling overwhelmed by the stress of daily life at one point or another. While many of us know that therapy can help with mood disorders, intrusive thoughts, or behavioral concerns, therapy can be beneficial for so much more. A therapist can offer support and tools for stress management, improving communication, and even increasing self-awareness.
When it comes to finding a therapist, Fort Myers, FL may offer more variety than surrounding rural areas, but finding the right therapist can be more complicated than scheduling a free consultation with the nearest clinic. One reason for this is that within the field of psychotherapy, there are a number of evidence-based specialized techniques and approaches, and the one that will be most effective can depend on the challenges being addressed as well as personal preference. Working with a CBT practitioner on self-care may promote a peaceful mind. Counseling for a family member in crisis may be more effectively addressed by a family systems expert. Solution focused therapy can be just what a local restaurant owner needs to take their business to the next level. What you want or need may not necessarily be accessible or available where you live. This is where online therapy can help.
BetterHelp is an online platform that offers access to a wide variety of Fort Myers and Cape Coral-based professionals with expertise in many types of therapy, and experience working with diverse populations. Fill out an online questionnaire and BetterHelp will match you with the therapist that best meets your needs. And because a strong therapeutic alliance can be essential to success, if you need to switch therapists you can do so at no additional cost.
Therapy can also be a convenient solution for many busy individuals. Online sessions fit easily into any schedule, and with video chat, phone, and text messaging options, you can meet with your therapist from the comfort of your own home.

Andrea Garcia
Hello and welcome to the BetterHelp community! My name is Andrea and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Florida. I have extensive counseling experience in several different settings of Inpatient, Outpatient, IOP, crisis units, and PSR. I have provided therapy for a wide range of concerns, including co-occurring disorders, addictions, life transitions, trauma, and mental illness. My experience with these diverse settings has allowed me a deeper understanding of the human condition and our resilience during moments of challenge and pain. Our need to deconstruct limiting beliefs and behavioral patterns through deep introspection of our inner world, leads to alignment with our highest potential waiting to be uncovered. We come into alignment when we take the drastic measures of allowing ourselves to be vulnerable, and honest with our past, current blockages and future goals. Although this work may be difficult, it will be the most beneficial and life transforming decision you make. I believe that all individuals seeking treatment deserve a specialized approach and modality should be catered depending on the individuals willingness to dive inwards. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic, existential, person centered, and strength based. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. My years of counseling have also led to studying holistic and alternative modalities of healing such as yoga, mindfulness, shamanic energetic healing, sound healing and essential oils as supplements to a healthy lifestyle as you merge mind, body and spirit. Difficult and painful times are part of the human condition and are not to be feared, as our strength is marked in our humanities evolution. I understand that seeking help during these unfamiliar times is a vulnerable step to take. Exploring one's growth during times of transition is based on a trusting and emotionally supportive relationship. I am here to support you during these times and look forward to meeting you. Thank you for your interest and congratulations in taking the first steps in reaching your personal goals!

Jessica Aubuchon
Sometimes, in life, we find ourselves repeating the same patterns over again. We tell ourselves we will not make the same mistake each time, but we find ourselves repeating the same mistakes we promised not to repeat. We may look to our partners and say they are the problem; we may see everything as a problem except ourselves. And as we do that, we stay in a state of unhappiness and remain a victim of ourselves. So we must admit first that we are the problem, and then we must explore deep within the self the root cause of the situations we have experienced that have created those unhealthy patterns so we can heal from our past and be in the moment. My job as a therapist is to guide clients through exploring their present and past selves while detaching from their future wants and desires so that they can live free in the moment. I help them move into a place of acceptance, understanding, and love for themselves, their families, neighbors, and the environment so that they can become their authentic selves. I work with couples and individuals to find unity and harmony in their relationships, environment, and within the self. I help individuals and couples move into a place of acceptance, understanding, and love to find unity and harmony in their relationships, environment, and within the self.

Have you ever wondered why certain things affect you so strongly or cause you to space out, shut down or avoid a situation altogether seemingly on autopilot? Maybe you're secretly asking yourself "why does this situation always happen to me"? The short answer: dysfunctional stored memory. I am a EMDR trained therapist who is licensed in Florida with 3 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, & motivation, self esteem, and confidence. I also have experience working with depression. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. As an EMDR trained professional, my therapeutic approach differs from traditional talk therapy. EMDR stands for eye movement desensitization and reprocessing. It is a "bottom up" type of therapy that focuses on the past, present and future through regulation of the disturbances going on within such as intense emotions or sensations, images or non supportive thoughts. From an EMDR perspective, these symptoms exist in the present because of an unresolved memory, experience or event that either occurred or did not occur (I.e. emotional neglect from a caregiver) during childhood typically. We begin by with identifying your symptoms in the present, understanding the root causes behind those symptoms by delving into the past and then prepare you to handle situations in the future! Whether you are curious or have seen potential of EMDR, I welcome the opportunity to work with you as we tune within and navigate the mind-body connection with the intention of being able of promoting wholeness from the inside out.

When you attend your session, you can let our therapists know if you have any concerns or feel unsure about what to talk about. Fort Myers therapists here may help guide you with open-ended therapeutic questions while offering mental health services.

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 Fort Myers 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 Fort Myers counselor can be dependent on your process.

Therapy with a licensed counselor is effective and has the power to change individuals' lives.

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.

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.
