More about Jean

  • 20 years' experience
  • Female
  • LMHC

Hello, I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida. My practice in mental health involves work in a broad range of programs such as my private practice, corrections, schools, hospitals, and mental health centers. I know that no single approach to therapy works for every person, therefore I integrate a variety of therapeutic modalities, such as: CBT, Psychodynamic, and Mindfulness. I will offer my experience and expertise to help you to strengthen coping skills, to discover creative ways to resolve conflicts, to empower you to make changes and to support you through a personal crisis.

I have worked with adjustment issues due to major life/career change, crisis, loss, trauma, substance and alcohol addiction, relationship issues, anxiety, depression and behavioral/cognitive problems related to brain dysfunctions. I offer an empathic, non-judgmental and safe online therapy space to promote growth and healing. This means I do not guide or direct you towards specific religion, believe system and/ or political orientation but towards your personal counseling goals. If you are uncertain as to what to say, have questions, not sure if this is the right approach for you now, I will help you to make the decision about counseling. I am continuously seeking professional growth in my career. I recently obtained the Certified Clinical Trauma Professional level I, C-DBT and completed courses on Telemental Health and Mindfulness.

My educational credentials include:

Doctor in Biology - Universidade de Brasília, DF, Brazil

Master of Science Major: Psychology - Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville, Illinois

Psychologist - Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro, RJ, Brazil

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.

Jean is an active listener and she is supportive and kind. She helps me stay focused while exploring ideas and I feel that every session has something to work on or ponder for the week. I've also seen that she wants me to succeed so she motivates and encourages me while at the same time being patient with my process. I am benefiting from therapy for the first time after trying before in years past.
