More about Simone

- LCSW
As a licensed therapist in Florida, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on helping clients address challenges like depression, anxiety, stress, and self-esteem concerns. I bring a compassionate, culturally responsive approach to working with young adults and individuals from diverse backgrounds.
My therapeutic work focuses on empowering clients to develop deeper self-understanding, improve communication, and cultivate meaningful life connections. I'm particularly passionate about supporting those experiencing isolation, self-esteem, and personal growth transitions, depression and anxiety.
Drawing from evidence-based practices, I create a supportive environment where clients can explore their experiences, heal from past wounds, and develop resilient strategies for emotional well-being. Whether you're struggling with depression or anxiety, relationship dynamics, or seeking greater self-acceptance, I'm committed to walking alongside you with empathy and professional guidance.

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.
