Living in a city that is full of courteous and professional people is very reassuring. Even so, dealing with mental health problems will start to hold you back from truly appreciating your life. When mental health issues become severe enough, they will start to harm aspects of your everyday life. Getting up in the morning becomes that much harder and focusing on your goals may seem like a herculean task.

The caring people of your city may not always be enough to help get you out of a rut with your mental health. You might need to reach out to a Macclenny-area online counselor. They will be able to provide you with assistance by helping you to better cope with mental health issues. Whether you are depressed or dealing with anxiety, these professionals will always have your best interests in mind. You can improve your mental health over time and will never have to feel like you are dealing with everything alone.

Hello and welcome! My name is Sabrina Metivier. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Registered Nurse Specialist in beautiful Central Florida. I have worked professionally in a variety of settings such as inpatient and outpatient health care facilities, Universities, private practice, and not for profit organizations for over 20 years. Throughout my career as a counseling therapist and a Registered Nurse working in behavioral health care, I was afforded the opportunity to work closely with adults of all ages, college students, athletes and professionals. I also had the opportunity to travel and share my knowledge through lectures and workshops. My counseling style is welcoming, warm, interactive but also straightforward and honest. It is my goal to create a genuine relationship that is respectful, caring, direct, and cooperative. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Collaboratively working together, we will look to discover strategies, tools and solutions that work best to empower you. The therapeutic process looks different for each individual, and my belief is in finding a unique, individualized and wholistic approach for each client. I always meet the client where they are and I provide a non-judgmental safe place where healing and change can occur. We will work together to create a treatment plan specific to your unique personal goals. In my work with clients of various backgrounds and cultures, I do not spend much time processing the past (i.e., childhood experiences, past trauma, etc.). I believe that true healing comes when individuals take active steps in the therapy process and focus on what they can do in their present situation to address their current challenges. I often use Solution Focused Therapy, Person Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavior Therapy individually or combined to help my clients focus on understanding how their thoughts impact their emotions and their behaviors. I also look at the impact of their lifestyle habits such as diet, nutrition, rest and exercise, all of which affect their mental, emotional and physical health. I have a considerable amount of experience in working with individuals who have problems managing stress and managing their emotions. Additional areas of focus include a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, physical trauma and or emotional abuse, adjustment disorders (moving, new parents, job changes, divorce), new onset healthcare conditions, chronic health care issues, chronic pain, illness and disability, Co-morbidity conditions, and those who are experiencing grief and loss or relationship issues. It takes courage to take the first step towards a change. By reaching out for support and help you have already taken the first step towards improving your life and achieving your goals. I am excited at the possibility of supporting you as you move toward a transformation that can lead to a happier, more fulfilled life. Now that you are ready, let's get to work. I look forward to working with you!

Resiliency means “bouncing back” from difficult experiences. I believe everyone is resilient. My passion is to help others learn to deal with difficult experiences and ‘bounce back’. My goal is to help you to have balance in your life (physically/intellectually/emotionally/spiritually) through skills, which you will learn about during our sessions, in a comfortable welcoming environment. Dealing with difficult experiences are what led me in the direction of becoming a helper for others. I am grateful to have learned about, and been able to help, individuals for the past twenty five years who have battled many types of experiences. I can help you learn skills to help with feelings associated with grief and loss, whether due to a trauma or the loss of a loved one. I also teach skills to help children learn to cope in the classroom environment. As you learn and practice these skills, you can expect to gain a sense of calmness and confidence. My belief is that “…suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope.” Romans 5: 3-4. My goal is to try instill the belief in you, that there is always hope.

Finding a licensed therapist near you in Florida can be an important step toward improving your mental health and overall well-being. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, stress, or major life changes, working with a qualified mental health professional can offer meaningful support.

Florida is home to people with diverse mental health needs across urban, suburban, and rural communities. Online therapy makes it easier to connect with a therapist near you without being limited to nearby offices. BetterHelp connects you with licensed therapists authorized to practice in Florida, allowing you to attend sessions online from the comfort of your home.

Why work with a licensed therapist near you?

Working with a licensed therapist near you ensures that your provider meets state licensing requirements and professional standards in Florida (FL). Licensed therapists use evidence-based approaches to help individuals manage emotional challenges, develop coping skills, and work toward personal goals.

People seek therapy for many reasons. Some are navigating ongoing mental health concerns, while others want guidance during stressful periods or major life transitions. You do not need a mental health diagnosis to work with a therapist. Many individuals seek therapy to improve communication, strengthen relationships, manage stress, or gain greater self-awareness.

Online therapy can be especially helpful for people living across Florida, where access to in-person mental health care may vary by location.

What concerns can therapists help with?

Therapists on BetterHelp support adults across Florida with a wide range of mental health concerns and life challenges, including:
