When you work with the right therapist, you will likely find yourself progressing through your struggles and staying more committed to the process than you would working with someone who isn’t a great fit for your needs. 

If you’re searching for a good therapist, Fort Pierce, FL, has a few options to explore. For example, if you’re a student at the local college, Indian River State College, you may be able to access free therapy from BayCare. Alternatively, you might want to consider online therapy, which is typically more affordable than its in-person counterpart. 

The best therapist for your situation will vary depending on what you want to address. For example, if you’re seeking relief from obsessive tendencies or grappling with low self-esteem, you’ll likely want to work with someone who has experience with anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorders, or self-esteem issues. In contrast, if you’re navigating family conflict, you may gain more benefits from family counseling provided by a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT). While a life coach might be helpful for your situation, it’s important to remember that a life coach is not a mental health profession nor a substitute for psychotherapy with a licensed therapist. 

The professionals listed below are licensed professional counselors, therapists, psychologists, and social workers who offer online therapy in Fort Pierce, Florida. By clicking on each professional’s profile, you can learn more about their background, education, areas of expertise, and licensing information.

You’re going through life feeling like no one hears you. You’re afraid to let people see the real you because you fear rejection. Or maybe you’re struggling with figuring out who you really are? You spend a lot of time either trying to avoid and numb out or managing intense emotions associated with memories, flashbacks, or nightmares. Or you have intense emotions but aren’t really sure where they’re coming from and others say you overreact. You are easily startled when someone slams a door or yells or drops something. You feel like no one understands. And it’s exhausting. You’re ready for relief from your symptoms. You want to feel heard and understood. You’re prepared to figure out who you are outside of your past and the symptoms you battle regularly. You’re ready to enjoy life, perhaps for the first time in your life. You are worthy and deserving of relief from your pain. Having 15 years of experience in working with survivors of sexual trauma and childhood abuse, my extensive training and experience allows me to recognize your pain and the various ways you express it so I can help you heal.

You’re not really sure why it is hard to get out of bed some mornings, or be motivated to want to do things. You’re not sure why you feel stuck or feel lost. It is frightening to think that this is how each day will be from now on. When you find yourself feeling scared, sad, alone, and overwhelmed after someone you loved has died; or having relationship challenges with your partner, children, friends, or family; or your child is acting out, not listening to you, and not able to talk about what is going on; or you don’t know how to get through past hurts and experiences that keep haunting your mind; or you really want to have a child so badly and nothing is working; or you feel so frustrated and stressed all time and can’t control it like you want to; something has to change! Life is not supposed to be this difficult. You want to be able to find yourself, be at peace, be happy, more in control of your stress, feel better about life and embrace it with passion, and have great communication with all the people who are in your world. Picture you being the best you that you can be. Picture you being happy and able to overcome these obstacles that are present in your life. I can help you reconnect with yourself and succeed! In just a few sessions, you will be able to feel a difference. I have been in practice for over 20 years and I have experience in grief and loss, infertility, trauma, relationships, stress management, life transitions, anxiety and depression. I am certified in Rapid Trauma Resolution (RTR). I have helped children, teens, adults, and families successfully overcome their challenges and return to a happier and more peaceful lifestyle.

I know how difficult but rewarding the process of self-change can be. I hope to offer empowerment and validation to the clients that I work with, as well as solutions to the problems you are facing. I am a big believer in positive thinking, and that small steps can add up to big changes. I know taking steps to better yourself can feel daunting, and I am here to offer support and accountability on that journey. If your efforts to achieve change typically result in to-do lists that become lists of unaccomplished goals, please reach out to me and allow me to assist you. I spent many long years of my life working odd jobs and wandering around life aimlessly before finding my calling in therapy. I attended the University of Central Florida to complete my Master's in mental health, and I have worked in community mental health agencies, including traditional outpatient, inpatient, schools and clinics, substance abuse, and with adults and children from diverse walks of life and backgrounds. I have a Solution-Focused background and utilize elements of CBT, and ACT. I am a big believer in the science of mental health and what current research shows, and I like to find approaches that are tailored to my individual clients. I also believe that our experiences in life have lasting impact, which is not something to be battled against, but rather incorporated into our own personal versions of mental health. I believe in research and skill-building, but also that this is not a one-size fits all process. I look forward to working with you to achieve change in your life!

My name is Laura Braswell. I am 48 years old and received my post-graduate training degrees from Rutgers University and Princeton. I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) and I have a Masters of Divinity degree with a focus on counseling. I have been married for 22 years and have six children and many foster children. I have worked in multiple clinical settings and provided group counseling, individual counseling and couples counseling. I have had great success in working with people that struggle with depression, anxiety, loss of a sense of purpose or drive, complex parenting and relationship issues, addictions, grief and loss, adoption and fertility issues and trauma. I believe all people are capable of moving towards a place of radical healing when they receive the help, motivation and spiritual guidance that they need. Being an older counselor that experienced many things personally and first-hand allows me to speak from experience and not theory. It allows me to identify with my clients and more fully understand what they need and how I can help them. Life is not easy, but you are not alone. Your situation is not hopeless. You cannot change other people, but you can change yourself and how you let other people impact you. You can break the chains of addiction, stop destructive behavior patterns, set goals and make them happen. You have taken a first step to finding help and healing. I would love to join you on this journey and share my expertise and time to help you reach and discover your full potential and purpose in life. It is not easy, but you are not alone!

11 years of experience

I am a LMHC therapist, public speaker community organizer, social and environmental activist and have been listening for decades. I received my formal education at University of North Florida as Master of Clinical Psychotherapy, 2013. I also took a 9-month internship under Ed Wilder, in Clinical Pastoral Education, in deep listening. I worked in the Talk program at Wounded Warrior for 8 months- the warriors talked; I listened. Did you go through trauma? Are you, right now, in a high stress situation? Do you keep losing your patience or your professionalism at the wrong moment and you don’t know why? Do you keep getting in your own way? I use Trauma Supportive Therapy to safely address, as slowly as need be, the pain of the past that keeps coming to trip your defenses at all the wrong moments, in your present. I can be that supporting presence who will help sort it out by listening- really hearing you. Reflect your depth of feelings back to you. Validate what are your unmet emotional needs. I practice the therapy of defining personal meaning, so, together we will facilitate your thinking of your options, planning, purpose, and goals for living a meaningful life without being afraid of tripping over your past or yourself. I practice person centered therapy by meeting you where you are. I strive to be culturally sensitive, non-prejudicial and use strength-based therapy as a jump point, truly believing I am the guide for you, but you are the treasure/wisdom keeper. Of all the reasons people come to therapy: anger, guilt, anxiety, changes, transitions, depression, trauma, jealousy, and “it is just not working anymore”, the extra burden of race and racism is more than just a nuance to be nodded at in therapy. I will view race as central to all the other pieces, when it is central to you. I am inclusive, secular, competent, affirming and non-judgmental. I have worked with people in transition, people who are very much defined, “but things got complicated”, people in the communities of LGBTQA, Polyamory, Kink, non-gendered. Each are safe and welcome here.

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

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 Fort Pierce 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 Fort Pierce 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 Fort Pierce 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 Fort Pierce 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 Fort Pierce 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 Fort Pierce?

One of the potentially rewarding aspects of working with a Fort Pierce 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 Fort Pierce 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 Fort Pierce 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 34947 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 Fort Pierce counselor?

Before seeing your Fort Pierce 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. Fort Pierce 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 Fort Pierce 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 Pierce 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 Fort Pierce, 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.

Fort Pierce 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.
