As an (NBCC: "Nationally Certified Counselor"), and Ordained Minister I am uniquely qualified to provide Professional Counseling in wide variety of contexts. In addition to "Evidenced Based Counseling" (i.e. CBT, DBT), I also use "Supportive Counseling" which I learned in Florida working with several psychiatrists. This type of therapy was used in an inpatient and outpatient setting with a psychiatric/counseling emphasis. Finally, I use "Nouthetic Counseling" which is essentially counseling based on "The Holy Scriptures". Proverbs 11:14 says, "Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of counselors there is safety. Please feel free to call, or write me with your concerns, or call at 941-203-1087!
I attempt to use all current "Best Practices" for intakes and referrals. I use certain psychometric tests as indicated. For substance abuse issues I use evidence based ASAM 1.0. I For marriage issues I use "Prepare-Enrich". For other problems I am a strategic eclectic theorist.
In closing, I am a qualified Professional Counselor using some of the latest and proven applications (Aaron T. Beck , Marsha Linehan, etc. ) but I also use The Bible as a map for Behavioral Medicine. The word "salvation" incorporates the highest healing of the spirit, soul, and body. I invite you to call me for a first interview. I promise to give you the highest qualified attention.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
