Hello and Welcome to BetterHelp! This is where you can find your new future and the help you seek for the life you are wanting to live! I would be honored to assist you along that ride. My name is Linda Crawford. I am a Mental Health Counselor licensed in the state of Florida. Just like you, I am human and that means I understand life has a variety of challenges to throw at us. At times, it can seem near impossible to get past some of these obstacles. Often we can feel alone and helpless about what our best next step could be. But, here is the secret reality......needing assistance in these matters is just part of the human process. Unfortunately, there are many people who are afraid to admit they are human enough to desire/need the assistance of another person's perspective. Anyway, here you are reading my profile and that is actually a good sign! I am excited about working with you to dig through your struggles and help you excel to work on changing your brain so that you can feel better about your future. It is true, you brain does change according to your thought process! I truly want to help you excel at this! However, I cannot do this alone and that means you may be given assignments to complete. That is how you will learn to change your brain! Together, we can adjust your negative thoughts and feelings which, in my experience working with clients, seems to be at the core of many issues such as: relationship issues (social and professional), anxiety, depression, overeating, disorganization, lost motivation, lost interest, hurt feelings, anger, loneliness, mistrust, boredom. Here is the plan I offer to you: You are the driver of your life, you have free will to choose which road to take. I will sit in the passenger seat and be a sort of ...GPS...suggesting options along the way. Ultimately, you are the one with your hands on the wheel and your foot on the pedal. That means, you determine the distance you travel and the speed at which you move. Also, and most important....you determine when you have arrived at your destination! Ready when you are!

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Nationally Certified Counselor, and Board Certified Telehealth Professional with over 10 years of experience in the mental health field. With a Master’s Degree in Counseling and Psychology, I have worked with individuals presenting with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, and the symptoms of stress. I have experience with those dealing with transitions in life such as relationship issues/divorce, returning to work/career change, experiencing a personal loss/familial conflict, etc. I help people struggling with self-esteem, confidence, and self-worth, and those who identify in the LGBTQ+ community. Additionally, I have worked in the education field and have helped many students overcome the personal obstacles getting in the way of them being successful in school. I have a deep respect for those who reach out for help because I know how difficult that can be. For counseling, I utilize a strength based and person centered approach that is humanistic and values the therapeutic relationship. I believe it’s important to use evidence based practices that have been proven through research to show the best results possible. My techniques include motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy, and brief solution focused intervention. Every person is different in their needs and I think it’s important to meet clients where they are. I help create a safe space where you know there is no judgment and what is said is confidential. I have dedicated my time to connecting with people and helping them develop a plan to not only overcome the tough times, but also grow in their ability to deal with whatever life hands us next. Counseling has the ability to enhance your life for the better, and I’d love to take that journey with you.

Most of us are doing the best they can with the options and tools they have available at the time. Sometimes we need a helping hand to move forward. In these times of need therapy can offer insight, objective feedback, and guidance. Together we can work towards reaching your goals and personal growth. I have over 15 years’ experience providing mental health services and behavioral counseling. I have worked with adults, couples, families, adolescents and even children. I have helped to treat issues including anxiety, depression, anger management, low self-confidence, school/ career concerns, stress, parenting dynamics, and relationship challenges. My therapeutic style draws elements from cognitive-behavioral model, strength’s-based approach, motivational interviewing, and solution focused to name a few. My approach is friendly, non-judgmental interjecting both constructive criticism and even humor at times. Change is a process that can be undertaken at any stage of your life. Just because today does not align with your goals, does not reflect what you can achieve tomorrow. My hope is that together we can help you identify skills and techniques to get your life back in the direction you want to go.

Hello! I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and retired Navy Chief Petty Officer. I have a master's degree in counseling and psychology and over 14 years of experience as a therapist. I am currently located in Pensacola, Florida. My passion is providing individual counseling services to adults and teens. I specialize in helping people through many of life's emotional challenges, such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and existential issues. Currently, I work exclusively with individual adult clients (not couples or children). Many people face various emotional challenges, wanting solutions for the here and now. Anxiety, depression, trauma, and existential issues can be the biggest culprits. Those problems often stem from the past and may be rooted in generational family dysfunction. As a result, buried feelings, isolation, fear of abandonment, people-pleasing, and getting involved in unhealthy relationships become problematic. I specialize in various therapies, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR). ​ If you feel stuck and seek relief, I will happily work with you and help you reach your full potential.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs) about licensed therapists and mental health services

Some other commonly asked questions on therapy with a licensed counselor and BetterHelp serving the Maitland area can be found below:

How does the cost of an in-person therapist compare to BetterHelp?

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 Maitland 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:

  • With a psychiatrist: $150-$500
  • With therapists: $100-300
  • With a clinician: $100

While many psychologists in Maitland 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 sessions ranging from $65 to $100 per week (billed every four weeks).

Is BetterHelp right for me?

One of the potentially rewarding aspects of working with a 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 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 therapy in Maitland 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 therapist can help you confront these concerns and open up through unique methods of support. There are also many types of therapy, where you may find you can express yourself through creativity instead of words with a psychotherapist.

Should I find a Maitland 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 Maitland 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 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 therapy 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 Maitland, 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.
