Therapists in Ocoee, FL
Mental health challenges can be difficult to navigate, but a licensed mental health therapist can provide a safe, judgement-free zone to explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
If you’re looking for a therapist, Ocoee, FL, has several options to explore. For example:
- There are many therapists who offer individual therapy, such as Edward Koch, a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who specializes in depression, bipolar disorder, and anxiety.
- You could also consider working with a clinical practice like Ellie Mental Health, which is led by a team of six licensed mental health counselors (LMHCs), licensed marriage and family therapists (LMFTs), and licensed clinical social workers (LCSWs). These providers focus on a variety of areas, such as building parenting skills and working through conflict with family counseling, using expressive art therapy, managing stress and burnout, or recovering from trauma.
- Psychiatrists (medical doctors), like those practicing at Elite DNA Behavioral Health, can offer both psychotherapy and psychiatry services for both adults and children.
The average therapy clinic in Ocoee can charge upwards of $100-$200 per session. Treatment barriers like cost and stigma, can limit availability of therapy services. Online therapy, in contrast, is often a more affordable way to find compassionate care from the comfort of home. If you’re a virtual student at Florida State University, you could also attend virtual psychoeducational workshops focused on anxiety or depression. These are offered by trained staff at no cost to students. However, unlike online therapy, which are customized counseling services, workshops may provide more generalized information.

Hello! I am a licensed psychologist, licensed marriage and family therapist, and an international parenting, divorce, and coparenting coach. I have been working with single adults, couples, children and families for over 25 years. I have extensive experience working with individuals who have problems with self-worth, who have experienced trauma, and with families in conflict. I am Level II trained in the Gottman Method, and utilize this extensively with couples. My clients are learning to master such issues as overcoming depression; trauma recovery; anxiety reduction; managing existential and identity issues, reducing stress, and controlling anger. I have counseled in mental health, addiction treatment, and criminal justice settings. Currently, I have a private practice in south Florida (family-options.com), where I supervise master's level mental health counseling and psychology trainees. I also teach graduate-level courses in ethics, disaster and trauma response, abnormal behavior, community counseling, and criminal behavior, and I mentor graduate dissertation students in forensic psychology. I have worked with individuals who are struggling with a wide range of concerns, including such things as managing anxiety, stress and depression; estrangement from family; career changes; marital infidelity; recovery from divorce; marital communication difficulties; and parenting challenges. I have extensive experience working with individuals who have problems with self-worth, who have experienced trauma, and with families in conflict. Through our interactions, I hope that you will find a safe place where we can explore your concerns and develop a plan that will have you actively pursuing your goals and living the life you want. Together, we can undo false belief systems and unhealthy habits. My therapeutic style is strengths-based, meaning that I will work with you to identify your strengths and the strategies that have worked well for you in the past, and nurture those skills to their highest potential. I am committed to getting to know you as an individual, and working hard to earn your trust and discover exactly what changes you hope to make in your life. You are the expert in your own life and in what you need, and the pace in which you would like to go, and it's my honor to adapt my counseling style to your needs and help you create the life that you want. I may "push" you out of your comfort zone at times in order to challenge you to meet the goals you have set for yourself, but I will provide you with a safe environment and will always be empathetic and patient and put you first. I am licensed as a psychologist in Florida, California, Arizona, and Iowa, and have obtained an Authority to Practice Interjurisdictional Telepsychology (APIT) from the PSYPACT Commission. ** Please note that I am available ONLY via asynchronous messaging and will not be scheduling live sessions. *** ** If you choose me as your counselor, our work together will be exclusively via messaging -- I will substantively answer any of your messages within 24 hours or less. ** I strive to support, encourage, educate, and empower my clients.

I am so glad that you are here and ready to improve your life. I am a licensed clinical social worker in Florida & Tennessee. I have experience in helping clients with self-care, stress and anxiety, coping with addictions, coping with grief and loss, & parenting issues. My therapy style is warm, interactive and real. I will tailor our sessions and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. This journey is about you. Test everything. Treasure what works for you and disregard the rest. I believe in treating everyone how I would want to be treated. This is why I only take on a small caseload so that I can dedicate my time with my clients. I believe that self-awareness and mindfulness are vital components of reflecting on yourself and your behavior. In order to accept and acknowledge that you might tend to react to certain situations in a specific way, you first have to notice that it's happening. The most important relationship in your life is the one you have with yourself. Just as you know that it's important to take care of your physical well-being with a healthy diet and proper exercise, it is also important to take care of your mental and emotional well-being. Remember that your wellbeing is worth the investment of time and energy. The work you do now can pay dividends for years to come. Be kind to yourself! Every day is a new beginning. Take a deep breath, smile and start again. I generally check messages here a few times per day Mon-Fri and respond as quickly as I can. I do appreciate your patience when it takes a bit longer at times, as I may be tending to other clients or professional/personal responsibilities.

I help people break harmful behaviors by tracing past patterns. Every wonder why you feel the way you feel? Why you do what you do? Do you attract the "wrong" partners? Why can't you sleep? Why do you have an irrational fear? Why do you cry all the time? Why do people treat you poorly? All of these questions and more can be answered by tracing your patterns and thereyby recreating your life to one that is balanced. Everything you do makes sense, but you may not know how. I help you get there, and then you can heal. No medication needed. I offer people solutions through clarity. I have successfully helped people break through mental illness, addictions, relationship problems, abuse, hallucinations, and every other kind of "disorder" by working through patterns. You are not born sick. Mental illness is not a physical disorder, and you can live without it without dependence on medication. With 23 years of experience, I offer a high level of expertise to assist you in healing your life rather than just managing your problems. "Mental illness" is not something you need to live with.

My name is Leisha Benjamin. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor with 20 plus years of experience working with a variety of mental health populations in various settings. I have a Master's Degree in Counseling Psychology and a Bachelor's Degree in Rehabilitation Psychology. I'm challenged each day to incorporate the best clinical strategies I've come to learn and master over the years. I possess the ability to establish rapport quickly; build trust; interact and relate to individuals. I find that CBT-Cognitive Behavioral Therapy; DBT-Dialectcal Behavioral Therapy (s) when engaging in therapy with clients are the most effective forms of clinical strategies, and are the two I most often use. These are evidenced based practice Treatment Modalities, and can be applied to a variety of issues such as depression; anxiety; stress management; PTSD etc. I've attended many workshops over the years to gain valuable knowledge and tools to utilize these Modalities effectively, and I'm confident in my ability to employ them. I also utilize Mindfulness techniques and strategies to address anxiety, stress and sleep issues.

Hello! I am a licensed clinical psychologist (PhD) in the state of Florida. I obtained six years of clinical experience during my training years which included work in a variety of settings including inpatient settings and outpatient treatment in community and university clinics providing individual therapy during the entirety of those years. I then had the honor of completing a year of internship at a VA which included providing individual and group therapy to our veterans and their families. Following graduation, I worked in a state hospital setting and maintained a private practice providing individual therapy for three years. At the same time, I began assessing disability claims for the citizens of Florida impacted by mental health issues, and have done so for the past 28 years. Although I love providing face-to-face therapy, I am excited to be providing online therapy as it increases accessibility to services and retains the important aspects of therapy that result in profound and positive change. My skills include treatment of depression and anxiety and addressing adjustment issues, healthy aging, self-care, work concerns, behavioral health, sexuality and relationships. My approach is generally from a cognitive behavioral perspective where we will identify the issues and their impact, clarify goals and map a plan. Other perspectives I draw from include psychodynamic (looking at one's personal history as it relates to current issues), interpersonal (noticing what happens within the therapeutic relationship that applies to outside relationships) and humanistic (acknowledging one's inherent goodness and own resources to facilitate change). I would be most honored to assist you on your journey!
