Welcome! It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take those first steps towards change - I’m glad you are here. The courage you are now using to seek help can lead to great rewards and I would be honored to work with you. I’m a licensed therapist with 20 years of experience and have been providing services for Betterhelp for the past 5 years. Regardless of your situation, (whether you just feel stuck or are trying to manage some big challenges in your life) counseling can be helpful and rewarding. My approach combines principles of different therapeutic approaches such as cognitive behavior therapy and humanistic counseling. In plain English, that means I believe you have the answers within you and we can work together to uncover them and to find solutions. I work with you to understand how your challenges developed, but I also help you learn new problem solving skills that you can apply to future challenges. We may look into the past sometimes in order to help you gain insight into your challenges and we will try on some new perspectives and new behaviors in an effort to bring about positive changes in your life. Together, we will determine the goals you want to achieve and from there we will collaborate on how to tackle each of them. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.

Hi there, I'm Ronville! I am a licensed mental health Counselor based in Jacksonville, Florida. My statewide clients range in age from teens to seniors and have challenges with anxiety, stress, and depression. I aim to help clients mirror their actual selves with their ideal selves. My Approach to therapy is client-driven, but I use person-centered therapy, Cognitive behavioral therapy, and solution-focused therapy mostly. I also believe in a Holistic approach, which incorporates the total person. My style of being an approachable listening ear allows teens as well as adults to relax and know they have a safe place where they can discuss LGBTQ issues, anxiety, depression, PTSD, ODD, ADHD, Bipolar, Grief, stress/anger management, Military/veteran issues, parent-child relationship Spiritual and couples counseling. I help clients navigate life's trials by building skills as they transition in age, school, adulthood, marriage, and spirituality. My communication style is nonjudgemental, no matter where my clients are or what issue they may be dealing with. I pride myself on being a good listener, easy to talk and having a sense of humor. My journey to mental healthcare I became a therapist because I wanted to help. I love seeing the transformation when clients know what makes them tick and realize that they have the power to make changes. I have always been a therapist, whether in the military, with friends and family, in the nonprofit arena, or in spiritual settings. My approach to goal setting is that the client is in charge. I believe that clients have something in mind when the schedule and we as a team will explore, develop, and complete our goal. During the first session, the client may spend a lot of time answering questions such as what brought them to therapy, when it started, what has changed, etc. These questions are essential for developing a cohesive picture and knowing how to proceed. The first session builds a rapport by finding common ground with achievable goals.
