Namaste! Take a deep breath. Take off your shoes and stay awhile.
My name is Sophie, I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Florida. I know it is not always easy to ask for help. It is very brave that you are here doing so! I hope that I can be a level sounding board and safe place for you to find what you are searching for today.
I have been a therapist for six years, having worked in substance abuse and mental health for thirteen years. I have worked in high psychiatric care with co-occurring substance abuse, trauma and eating disorder treatment, private practice and varying levels of care throughout. I took Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) basic training 1 and 2 and utilize the mindfulness and resourcing aspects of EMDR when applicable. Some of the approaches I use in session are: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness-Training, Solution-Focused, Insight-Oriented and Experiential Therapy.
Due to the population I have been working with, I have had the pleasure of working with ages 16 and above as well as their families of all ages. I believe that each of us is truly unique and individualistic. We must be treated as such. I will never make the same treatment plan for two people. I am extremely collaborative with my clients as well. I will provide homework if you AGREE to complete the assignments. I am big on you believing in what we are doing. I love setting goals with my clients; goals that you chose so that YOU get to watch yourself complete each goal!
I do NOT have one specific type of cliental. I work with all humans. I look forward to meeting you!

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.
