It takes courage to find the right counselor for you! As a seasoned therapist, I am licensed in the State of Florida (LCSW), have had training as a Life Coach and have been practicing for over 30 years. I have worked with with a wide range of concerns, such as depression, anxiety, substance abuse, grief and loss, career and parenting issues. My credentials include a Masters in Education as well as a Masters in Social Work. I believe my treatment approaches are comprised of a toolbox of methodologies to match the needs of my clients and include: client-centered, cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psycho-social, solution-focused modalities and I will tailor our sessions and treatment plan to you. My style is natural and warm, accepting and non-judgmental, allowing for a positive interchange to encourage self-disclosure and introspection as we work together on a path towards a happier and more fulfilling life.
If you are ready to begin this journey with me, I will be honored to help and support you!

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- 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.

Penni is just great, I have no problems with her whatsoever and she listens well
It is lovely to chat with my therapist regularly and have support to address difficult issues. She has helped me through difficulties to make progress in my personal life, and has given me hope and confidence to deal with setbacks, address issues and be assertive.
Penny is amazing, she has really helped me over the past few months get a handle on my anxiety by showing me tools that I can use to help me with it and reduce it almost completely. I highly recommend Penny and very appreciative of her ongoing support!
Penni is a truly fantastic human being. I've always been skeptical about counseling but through my time talking with Penni, I completely understand the importance of asking for help. Penni is always available for support and I am very grateful to have met her.
Penni has supported me through so many different topics and aspects of my life. Her approach is always non-judgemental, kind and cheering. I evolved very fast along her side and I am now able to better manage my triggers and emotions. Thank you Penni for all those great months working together!
Penni is a wonderful human being. She is supportive, kind and has a great sense of humor. Even on my toughest days, she could help get me back on track.
In the short time that I’ve had Penni as my therapist, she has been very helpful in listening and offering guidance. I’ve never truly had counseling before, and so far it’s helped me feel better, listened to, appreciated and most importantly comfortable to share things.
After just one session with Penni, I definitely felt more in control of my own life, and more aware of the areas that cause me the most challenge in daily life. Penni made me feel empowered and understood - I actually feel like someone understands my thought processes, and is willing to support me as I make productive steps in my growth as a woman.
Penny is great, she makes you feel totally comfortable to open up and understand your feelings and supports you. I would highly recommend Penny and look forward to continue working together!
Penni is an extremely empathetic and patient listener. She offers ways for me to cope with the things that are plaguing me and offers a fresh perspective. I am glad she is my therapist.
Penni is such a fun and lovely woman. Very professional and always listens to what your needs are. I would recommend her for sure. Love her funky glasses, seeing them always brings a smile to my face. Thank you Penni for always making me feel good about myself.
Absolutely lovely woman. I've only been working with her for a short period but I am confident enough to know Penni has my interests at heart.
