More about Joseph

- LMHC, LPC
Hey there! My name is Joseph Almeida and I'm licensed in two states. I'm a LMHC in Florida and have my LPC Provisional License in Pennsylvania. Most of my experience has been with youth, teenagers, and college students. I received my Bachelors Degree in Sociology from Florida Atlantic University. I then received my Masters Degree in Mental Health Counseling at Palm Beach Atlantic University.
My style of counseling is very person-centered which allows the people I counsel to have freedom and time to express what they are going through and I enjoy walking with them and help supporting them regain the helm of their life back. I have a heart for getting to know people's stories and helping them discover what brings them joy and also how to solve the challenges they face in their lives.

About online counseling

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.

Overall rating:
Joseph is awesome.
I really enjoy talking to Joseph. He listens and seems genuinely interested in me and is very knowledgeable both on the clinical and spiritual aspects of therapy.
He is an excellent therapist gives me good advice
Super helpful at listening and understanding what I'm going through
Joseph Almeida has been a relief to talk to, I have some life time problems which I know are too hard for me to handle, let alone any therapist to solve, Joseph listens to me, gives me good feed back and has helped keep me grounded. I don't feel like he is pandering to me and just telling me things I want to hear.
he is lovely and listened but sometimes he seems a little tired during sessions so I don't feel a comfortable to open up cause he may be too tired to listen otherwise he's real good
I have had many counselors I did not like. I absoluty love Joseph. He's easy to talk to and understands my struggles
