Dr. S has helped me work through a difficult situation. She offers insight on behavior modifications that can help me cope with my anxiety. I was hopeless and a couple weeks later I feel like I am coping. Great way to get help remotely.

Hello there, my name is Dr. Lauren Serdencuk and I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of Florida. I obtained a Bachelors degree in Psychology from CUNY Queens College, a Masters degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Mercy College, and a PhD from Nova Southeastern University. I am also a Certified Addiction Professional (CAP) in the state of Florida. I specialize with populations including Substance Abuse, Chronic Illness, Depression, and Anxiety. I come from a Solution-Focused approach, meaning we explore solutions for the future instead of focusing on the past. I think I can help you if you are desiring change, are willing to take on challenges, and exploring new possibilities.

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.
