My name is Simone Mack and I have a passion for counseling and providing support to others. I received my Master in Mental Health Counseling at Nova Southeastern University and received my Bachelors Degree in Psychology at Florida International University in Miami, Florida. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida and I am also in the process of becoming a Certified Gambling Addictions Therapist. I am familiar with personality disorder traits and characteristics. My passion for counseling is to move clients and their families out of the darkness of addiction and other issues they may be facing and process with them that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I have many years of working with those who struggle with addiction, depression, stress, anxiety, relationship/marital issues and trauma/abuse. I also have years of working with families, LGBT, anger, self-esteem issues, Bipolar, Grief and loss and intimacy issues. My style and approach is loving and kind with a hint of firmness when needed. I always strive to get my clients to look at their current situation and find healthy ways to manage their feelings and issues they may be facing. I strive to get my clients to gain insight into what they have control over. I encourage and empower my clients because I know and believe that they have the power and strength to overcome any obstacle they may be facing, even if they may not see this at the time. I believe in focusing on the here and now and being able to love and appreciate living in the present moment. I feel that if one is stuck in the past or the future, they miss out on the joys of the present. I strive to help my clients be able to gain a healthy balance with life. I know that online counseling may be new for you, so I want to let you my approach with working with online clients. Once you become a new member I suggest that we complete a live session (preferably 30 minutes via Live Chat). That way we can introduce ourselves and begin building the therapeutic relationship. After the introduction period, I suggest that we have at least one live session per week and I will respond to your messages in the forum in a timely manner. My goal for you is to get you to a place where you can look at your current situation and find healthier ways to cope with it. I want you to find balance and peace in your life and your situation. I know that life isn't always going to have happy moments and I want to be able to guide and assist you in your time of need.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the State of Florida experienced in providing guidance, mental health, and substance abuse counseling for my clients. Since 2014, I have worked with individuals struggling with various problems with addictions, depression, anxiety, traumatic events, loss of purpose, and relationship issues. I received my Bachelor’s in Culture and Arts in 2009 and my Master’s Degree in Social Work in 2014. I gained my experience working with elderly individuals in inpatient settings, providing therapy services to families and individuals in an outpatient setting, as well as working with clients, struggling with addictions in an inpatient setting. In addition, I have worked with patients severely mentally ill by providing a safe place to share their world and seek solutions to their challenging life circumstances. I am trained in evidence based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, as well as Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy with MBSR techniques. I am fluent in English and Russian languages. Our everyday lives are filled with events that we have no control over. Some go about their lives embracing this chaos, but for others this task may seem challenging and unattainable. I believe that with proper guidance one can accept life as spontaneous chain of events and feel comfortable throughout the process of change. I do believe that without a sense of purpose life loses its meaning, therefore in my sessions I stress the importance of finding and redefining one's purpose. I offer a range of therapeutic services, all designed to help you find your way back into a peaceful and satisfying life. Whether you're looking for a change or just feel the need to talk to somebody, I am here for you.

Cancer is a frightening diagnosis. It can conjure up thoughts of spending long periods of time in difficult treatment, feeling ill, suffering and possibly even dying. If you or a loved one has cancer or any other life threatening illness, it is important to learn the physical, emotional and spiritual tools to help you through this challenging time. Everyone’s experience is different which is why I tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. With over 35 years experience as a licensed counselor, I have worked with addictions, mental illness, couples & family therapy, chronic illness, coping with life changes, grief and loss. My specialty lies with chronic illnesses, especially cancer, since it was so pronounced in my family while growing up. I am certified as an Interactive Guided Imagery ℠ Practitioner helping clients draw on their own inner resources to find creative ways to problem solve and to support healing. The greatest challenge to a life threatening diagnosis is often your own inexperience facing what seems so insurmountable. There is no good reason you should take this journey alone. That is where the support of counseling steps in providing a listening ear, help with the anxiety and stress that often accompanies this type of diagnosis and providing helpful referral information. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!
