She always greeted me with a beautiful and welcoming smile, she was exactly what I needed, She is very knowledgeable and professional, it was hard to say goodbye she is so good !!

More about Brigitte
- 20 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
Welcome to BetterHelp! Hello, I'm Brigitte Kay and I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Florida with 20+ years’ experience providing counseling and support to adults, youth and children in military, Hospice, non-profit, community-based, and academic settings, both internationally and domestically. As a social worker, helping individuals, children and families manage stressors and be successful is a priority. My experience includes, but not is not limited to, deployment and reintegration support, relationships issues, crisis interventions, stress management, grief, child behavioral concerns, academic support, occupational and other individual and family issues. My job as a counselor is to provide a safe and secure setting that allows a person to feel comfortable being their truest self as we work together as a team to sort out concerns, issues and goals.
I provide client-centered short-term, solution-focused counseling. I focus on a person's strengths and goals to determine and prioritize steps to achieve their goals. I believe my role is to support a person in their journey to maintain or improve their daily living, to help a person realize and maintain what's functioning well in their life, as well as, help them realize areas that may need adjustments and repairs to live the best life possible as they define the idea of "best life" to be.
It takes courage to ask for support. If you believe my approach will help you achieve your goals - I look forward to working with you.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.

- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
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.
