Thank you for considering counseling with me. It's a really big step, and it takes a lot of courage to ask for help. I have a Master of Social Work Degree, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Florida and a Certified Hypnotherapist. I practice from a holistic perspective, because I believe that our physical, emotional, psychological and spiritual experiences are all connected, and what affects one aspect also affects the others. I have had extensive training and over 25 years experience with individuals, couples, families and groups seeking counseling for issues such as trauma recovery, grief/loss issues, identity and relationship issues, anxiety/panic attacks, eating disorders, life transitions and much more. I help you access and utilize your innermost strengths and skills to move beyond your current situation, gaining insight and growth in the process. When we undergo challenging times in our lives, we can often feel isolated and alone and uncertain about where to start to make things better. It is important during challenging times to honor our feelings and be gentle and compassionate toward ourselves during the process. With compassion and understanding I'll offer the support you need to identify and utilize your strengths and skills to move beyond what you are feeling and experiencing. I’ll help you gain insight about what you're experiencing, attaining new skills and abilities in the process. Together, we will create specific goals you want to attain, and I'll give you assignments that will help you attain those goals. This can be particularly important when you are dealing with more than one specific issue, which can often be the case. At the same time, it is important to recognize that counseling is a process, and it's important to be patient and understanding with ourselves. With respect to grief/loss, it is important to recognize that not all grief involves the loss of a loved one. While we commonly think of grief as what we experience with the loss of a loved one, we also need to grieve other losses, such as the loss of a job or relationship through breakup or divorce. Also, while there are formal custom/supports that help us process our grief over the loss of a loved one, there are no such supports in place for dealing with other losses. It is all the more important at such times to seek out the support we need to help us through the grieving process. Again, it takes a lot of courage to ask for help, and I am so honored to be a part of your journey. Whatever challenges you are facing, I can help you navigate those challenges and regain a sense of control over life's circumstances and empowered to move beyond them. I'm so glad you're here, and I look forward to working with you.

Hi, My name is Kiara and I am a licensed mental health counselor in the state of Florida. I have over 8 years of experience working in the field and I am very passionate for this work! I have worked in a variety of settings including clinics, hospitals, outpatient, in homes and addictions. I have experience working with adults, couples and teenagers who come to me for an array of reasons. I have about 5 years experience working with substance abuse and addictions for teenagers and adults as well as sexual assault and trauma. With the climate of today's world, I understand the importance of multi-cultural preferences and I am open to meeting the needs of my clients. The hardest step of the process of going to therapy, is actually taking the action to seeking support. And here you are! I would like to describe my approach to clients as very welcoming and warm. My clients provide the expectations and the goals in our sessions, my job is to offer support and guidance through the process. Counseling is about you and meeting the needs you have for yourself, not what others perpetuate your needs to be. I want you to leave my session feeling as though you are closer to meeting your goals. I use a client-centered, solution-focused approach. Much of my sessions include works from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and narrative therapy. This means, we work on what your needs are and how we can get you- your mind and body, on the same page. I am open in sessions and very engaging. I listen to you and we work together! With my personal experiences, coupled with my professional experiences, I am able to offer comfort to my client. I was a military brat, moved to over 12 different states and I have traveled to over 10 different countries. I am a professional at adaptation and being resilient as well as talking to new people. I know life is not always rainbows and sunshine, but I have learned the importance of interpretation and framing our perspectives. It makes such a difference! I am eager to start working together with you and look forward to our journey together!

you're aware of the underlying issues ...yet they're causing you to have anxiety, depression, low self-esteem or more. Maybe you have experienced trauma , dysfunctional relationships or abuse. You're aware of the things affecting your mental health , but you're not sure how to handle or deal with them. I can assist with your self-esteem issues, life transitions, substance abuse, stress, anxiety and anger issues, family conflict, co-dependency and many other areas in your life you may be struggling with. Seeking help is the first step to successful managing your life. Beginning therapy can be an emotional time for most people. I work with members of both genders, all ages and from every demographic group. I care greatly about providing all of my clients with a proactive and caring approach. I use different psycho-therapeutic modalities, choosing the best one(s) to fit each of my client's needs. Sometimes in order to get better, we must go backwards. Sometimes the most painful moments are the most purposeful moments. Remember you are not alone; during these difficult times is when you may need additional support. I value the opportunity to help clients move forward in their journey of personal growth and development.

20 years of experience

Hello! My name is Jeanne Peel, and I am a Marriage and Family Therapist with over 20 years of experience. I am licensed in Florida, and both North and South Carolina, and have worked with children, teens, and adults in individual, family, couple’s, and group settings. I have worked in community mental health, residential treatment, and private practice doing online therapy, as well as working for an insurance company call center doing mental health assessments to help connect people to therapy. I have helped clients in a wide range of areas including anger management, anxiety, communication issues, depression, grief/loss, low self-esteem, mindfulness, parenting problems, relationship issues, and work/life balance. I have also helped many people who have experienced trauma or various types of abuse. My formal journey to become a therapist started when I was 40, but I think I've been in training my whole life. This isn't just something I DO, it's part of who I AM. I wear lots of hats and am grateful for each of them. I am a veteran myself and have 15 years under my belt as a military spouse, so military folks have an automatic special place in my heart. I have been married and divorced, I have 5 adult kids and 7 grandkids, and I helped my mom care for my dad with Alzheimer's until he died early in October 2021. I am very spiritual and believe we come into each other’s lives for a reason because we all have lessons to learn from one another. I work at staying fit and practicing good self-care by enjoying good nutrition, running, walking, biking, kayaking, yoga, and meditation. My therapeutic approach is eclectic as I pull from different theoretical backgrounds and my own experience to find what is going to be exactly right for you. My style is warm, interactive, and collaborative. I will treat you with respect, sensitivity, and compassion as we work together, and I will do my utmost to “meet you where you are” as I believe you are the expert on living your own life. I believe you already have your own answers deep inside and just need some guidance at times to find them. My approach is person-centered and combines elements of solution-focused, cognitive-behavioral, existential, psychodynamic and mindfulness therapies. I feel the two biggest indicators of success in therapy are for the client to be engaged and willing to learn to let go of old self-limiting beliefs and to have a strong rapport in the client-therapist relationship. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps toward change. It also takes courage to look closely at oneself and one’s relationships and to own one’s “stuff”. If you are ready to take that step, then I am here to support and empower you on your journey as we work together and learn from each other. I look forward to working with you!

Each type of support of this kind with BetterHelp therapists can offer various benefits and address or treat different disorders. If you're still unsure or are new to counseling in Panama City, feel free to contact the provider via email to find out which methods they practice.

It is also important to understand that mental health professionals in the United States are accredited to provide care, helping individuals and couples, with a variety of licenses for therapists.

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

A mental health counselor working through their own in-person therapy practice in Panama City or online may assist clients in improving healthy relationships, communication skills, working through life transitions, couples counseling, managing a mood disorder, improving coping skills, self help tips, offer life coaching, family therapy, or change in negative thinking patterns.

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 Panama City 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 Panama City 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 Panama City 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 Panama City 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 Panama City online therapy platform verified?

Therapists in Panama City, Florida working on BetterHelp are licensed, trained, experienced, and accredited as a doctor of psychology (PhD / PsyD), licensed marriage and family therapists (LMFT), licensed clinical social worker (LCSW / LICSW), or licensed professional counselors (LPC). 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 Panama City?

One of the potentially rewarding aspects of working with a Panama City 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 Panama City 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 Panama City 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 32404 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 Panama City counselor?

Before seeing your Panama City 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. Panama City 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 Panama City 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 Panama City 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 Panama City, 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.

Panama City 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.
