Hi there! I'd like to share a bit about me! I'm Reegan. I am a licensed Mental Health Counselor currently in the state of Florida, for the past 8 years. I received my masters degree in Mental Health counseling from Seton Hall University in 2014 through their online program. A bit about my background and who/ what I have experience working with- my internship and first few years of counseling were spent in office at a clinic that served both mental health and substance use disorders. In 2017 I started my transition into online work so I could meet the specific populations the LGBTQ+ community, women and trauma/ childhood trauma. I am trauma aware/ informed and doing many outside trainings to be fully trauma trained. My initial frame work began in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and motivational interviewing (MI). Over the years I have worked meet the client where they are at, by using other modalities based on what was needed. I also tend to use a very person-centered approach which can mean taking extra time to build rapport/ a therapeutic relationship. My experiences clinically vary from anxiety, depression, LGBTQ+, coping\stress, substance abuse/use related issues, trauma related work, nervous system dysregulation and more. I am also neurodivergent affirming/ informed and able to talk through some of those things as well. I am still working on increasing my education and knowledge on this part as its vastly under represented, but having someone even opening to talk and look at symptoms can super helpful if you are suspecting something might be going on. It can be a very tough, judgmental world out there, I get that. That is why I am here to help you learn to cope with with the curve balls life may have thrown at you. To help you find yourself and learn to manage all the things that are brought forth by life. If this feels like it might be a good fit, stop by and see. I do like to be transparent unfront that I am a mom of 2 special needs kiddos who are home with me during the day. Please make sure the time slots in the afternoon available for appointments would fit, if what you were looking for (if you are coming in mid week, look at the future week to see what is available fully). I'm looking for a few longer term clients who can fit in those slots or who just wants to solely communicate on the boards. I do write and communicate with clients daily on the boards. Thanks for reading! Hope you find what you are looking for in a match, whether its here or with another counselor! Take care!

Asking for help can be really tough—sometimes, it feels nearly impossible. Admitting to yourself that you need help? Even harder. I get it. I've been in some pretty dark, cold, and scary places, and acknowledging that I was hurt and needed help wasn’t easy. It was a real battle, one that many people try to avoid. The truth is, anyone who’s alive is facing some kind of struggle, big or small. The difference is that a lot of people get really good at hiding it, putting on a front, or working non-stop to keep up the image of what they think they should be, or what they want others to see—and that’s exhausting. The alternative often feels like “sucking it up,” “pressing on,” or “suffering in silence” to avoid feeling like a “burden” or disturbing others. Many people remain lost and stuck, because they refuse to admit to themselves that they are in fact, lost and stuck and need help. Is there something you’re avoiding? Something you’re not sure how to handle, plan for, or communicate? Something you’re struggling to let go of—or maybe something you need to say goodbye to? Or even something you know you should be saying hello to? Life can be unpredictable, and for many of us, going through the motions on autopilot feels like the safest option—until it’s not. I’m here to challenge you to switch off that autopilot and take a more active role in your thoughts, feelings, perceptions, and actions. It’s easier—and often more comfortable—to just let life happen to you. But if you’re after real, lasting change, the first and oftentimes the most difficult step is simply deciding. Deciding to engage. Deciding to embrace the discomfort. Deciding to put the mask down and be real. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, with a number of certifications and specialized trainings. With over 10 years of experience in a range of clinical and service roles—from clinical administration, supervision, and mentoring to direct psychotherapy in nonprofit organizations, correctional facilities, private practice, and now with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs—I’ve seen firsthand that change is possible and that there is always hope for a better tomorrow. When you're ready...decide...then let's get to work!

As a clinician, I strongly believe that each individual is their own expert. When things become complicated, it is often hard to put ourselves in the driver’s seat and take control. Through practice, I hope to help you find that strength within to overcome some of life’s most difficult challenges. My interest in mental health peaked after college, when I worked with a therapeutic recreational program for children. Witnessing others find and develop their own strengths, I saw how empowering this can be, motivating me to continue to be an agent for change. I facilitate a trauma informed, strengths based approach. I have worked with individuals and families of varying ages and backgrounds, focusing on various concerns including depression, anxiety, mood disorders, relationship and attachment issues, anger management, self-esteem, and parenting skills. I incorporate client-centered, cognitive behavioral, and solution-focused therapies in order to assist individuals in developing skills and strengths. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, in which I also incorporate use of mindfulness and meditation. I also have experience working in Child Welfare with substance abuse and mental health populations. I received my Master’s in Social Work from Florida State University in 2013, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker.

Quote: “I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” ― Maya Angelou DISCLAIMER: BetterHelp platform does not provide written documents, therefore I am unable to provide letters or documentation for legal cases, workplace grievances, or court-related matters. As your therapist, my role is to support your mental health and well-being within the scope of therapy. FLORIDA BOARD TELEHEALTH REQUIREMENTS: The Florida mental health licensing board requires video sessions instead of phone sessions for telehealth services to ensure client safety, proper assessment, and verification of identity. Here are some key reasons behind this requirement: 1. Standard of Care – Video sessions allow therapists to observe nonverbal cues such as body language, facial expressions, and overall demeanor, which are critical for accurate assessment and effective treatment. 2. Client Identification & Security – Video sessions help verify that the therapist is speaking with the correct client, reducing risks related to identity fraud or unauthorized individuals participating in therapy. 3. Ethical & Legal Considerations – Florida law requires licensed mental health professionals to maintain appropriate documentation and standards of care comparable to in-person therapy, which video conferencing helps facilitate more effectively than phone calls. 4. Crisis Management – In case of a crisis or emergency, a video session allows the therapist to assess the client’s environment, emotional state, and potential risks, providing better support and intervention if needed.
