Hi,
My name is Kiara and I am a licensed mental health counselor in the state of Florida. I have over 8 years of experience working in the field and I am very passionate for this work! I have worked in a variety of settings including clinics, hospitals, outpatient, in homes and addictions. I have experience working with adults, couples and teenagers who come to me for an array of reasons. I have about 5 years experience working with substance abuse and addictions for teenagers and adults as well as sexual assault and trauma. With the climate of today's world, I understand the importance of multi-cultural preferences and I am open to meeting the needs of my clients.
The hardest step of the process of going to therapy, is actually taking the action to seeking support. And here you are! I would like to describe my approach to clients as very welcoming and warm. My clients provide the expectations and the goals in our sessions, my job is to offer support and guidance through the process. Counseling is about you and meeting the needs you have for yourself, not what others perpetuate your needs to be. I want you to leave my session feeling as though you are closer to meeting your goals.
I use a client-centered, solution-focused approach. Much of my sessions include works from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and narrative therapy. This means, we work on what your needs are and how we can get you- your mind and body, on the same page. I am open in sessions and very engaging. I listen to you and we work together!
With my personal experiences, coupled with my professional experiences, I am able to offer comfort to my client. I was a military brat, moved to over 12 different states and I have traveled to over 10 different countries. I am a professional at adaptation and being resilient as well as talking to new people. I know life is not always rainbows and sunshine, but I have learned the importance of interpretation and framing our perspectives. It makes such a difference!
I am eager to start working together with you and look forward to our journey together!

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Kiara has been a great help in my journey of healing.
I am so very impressed by Kiara. She kind caring and professional. She never makes me feel as though I am bothering her. I would recommend her to everyone I know!!!!
This was the first time I’ve had counseling, and I honestly thought it was going to be a waste of time. But, I actually learned quite a lot about myself and what it is I’m looking for in life. I would recommend Kiara to anyone who’s thinking about working with a counselor.
I am so happy that Kiara is my counselor. Kiara was able to hold space for my very strong emotions. When I cried she held space for that and wasn't uncomfortable. She then gently asks what's happening, what am I feeling. I stress this because I've experienced counselors who could not handle crying or string emotions in a supportive way. Kiara is such a great therapist, she remembers week for week important things we discussed or explored. I also appreciate Kiara for challenging me and my behavior patterns - stressing accountability. I also feel very seen by Kiara! Kiara recognizes when I am overwhelmed and helps lower the temperature so that I can process. Lastly, Kiara knows what questions to ask to help me achieve my desired outcomes and she's a great listener. Kiara is the reason I signed up for an annual subscription instead of a monthly one.
Kiera is absolutely the best. I am having such a great experience with her. Would 10,000% recommend her to anyone in need.
Really like this app!
Kiara is simply the best. Her care, empathy, and suggestions to help along my journey are comforting and motivating to keep trying to get better and stay positive.
Kiara is meticulous and professional. She understands my different issues and remembers the details I mention from session to session. So far I am very satisfied with how she has helped me break down my issues and cover my various questions.
Kiara is very way to talk to. Great listener. Her guidance and advice was extremely helpful.
