Online Therapy for Adults and Couples Across Florida

Online counseling provides a convenient way to work with an experienced therapist from your home or another private location anywhere in Florida.

I provide secure Telehealth counseling for adults and couples throughout Florida. With more than 30 years of counseling experience, I work with clients seeking help with anxiety and stress, relationships, communication and intimacy, infidelity and betrayal, life transitions, and patterns that have been difficult to change.

For clients who want Christian counseling, faith can also be meaningfully integrated into therapy. Christian counseling is always optional and is never assumed or required.

Online therapy allows you to choose a therapist based on experience, specialization, and fit rather than being limited to counselors located near your home.

Individual Online Counseling in Florida

Individual counseling can help you better understand the thoughts, emotions, relationships, and patterns that may be affecting your well-being.

I frequently work with adults experiencing:

• Anxiety, worry, and overthinking
• Stress and feeling overwhelmed
• Difficulty relaxing or settling the nervous system
• Life transitions and periods of uncertainty
• Relationship and attachment concerns
• Family-of-origin patterns
• Emotional reactions that feel difficult to understand or change
• Personal growth and a desire to live more intentionally

My approach is individualized rather than based on a single treatment model. Depending on your needs, counseling may incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), attachment-based therapy, somatic and nervous-system-informed approaches, EMDR, and neuroscience-informed care.

Online Couples & Marriage Counseling in Florida

Online couples counseling can be particularly convenient when two people are balancing work, family, travel, or demanding schedules.

I have completed Level 3 training in the Gottman Method and work with couples who want to improve communication, strengthen emotional and physical intimacy, understand recurring patterns of conflict, rebuild trust, or strengthen their relationship.

I also specialize in helping couples navigate infidelity and betrayal recovery. When a relationship has been disrupted by an affair or other significant breach of trust, treatment may focus on stabilizing the relationship, understanding what happened, rebuilding trust, and determining how the couple wants to move forward.

An Integrative Approach to Online Therapy

Insight can be important, but understanding why something happens does not always change the way you think, feel, react, or relate to other people.

My approach considers the interaction among thoughts, emotions, relationships, past experiences, and the nervous system.

Depending on your needs, therapy may incorporate:

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT can help identify patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, or feeling stuck.

Somatic and Nervous-System-Informed Therapy

Stress and emotional experiences aren’t limited to our thoughts. Somatic approaches can help you become more aware of physiological patterns and develop greater capacity to regulate your response to stress and emotional activation.

EMDR

When earlier experiences continue to influence present-day emotions, beliefs, relationships, or physiological reactions, EMDR may be incorporated when clinically appropriate.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Understanding attachment and family-of-origin patterns can be particularly helpful when the same fears, expectations, or relationship dynamics continue to appear in adult relationships.

Gottman Method Couples Therapy

For couples, Gottman Method interventions provide research-informed strategies for improving communication, managing conflict, strengthening friendship and intimacy, and rebuilding connection.

Christian Counseling Online in Florida — When Requested

For clients who want their Christian faith incorporated into counseling, I offer evidence-based clinical care in which faith can be thoughtfully and meaningfully integrated.

I bring particular depth to this work through 17 years serving as a therapist in the Counseling Ministry at Southeast Christian Church in Louisville, in addition to more than 30 years of counseling experience.

Some clients specifically seek Christian counseling. Others simply want a therapist who understands the importance of their faith while providing professional clinical care. I also work with clients who do not want faith incorporated into counseling.

Your beliefs and preferences are respected. Faith is never assumed, pressured, or required.
