More about BALYNDA
- 9 years' experience

- LCSW
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Florida with a master’s degree in Social Work from Western Michigan University. I have many years of experience in counseling working with individuals and groups.
Often I found that people want to be heard, understood, validated, and supported. In addition, they want to be inspired and motivated to live the life they deserve. Often perceived as the "strong one" by family, friends, and society, they may have become emotionally fatigued. Together we can discover what mental and emotional roadblocks prevent you from finding your "happy space" and learn how best to navigate those challenges. This process should include a safe/comfortable place, open communication, and honesty. We can work together to change your current narrative.
I take a holistic approach to assist you with issues such as anxiety, hopelessness, depression, anger management, and suicidal idealization. Assisting you in learning how to be intentional and work to develop healthier coping skills. By using CBT, ACT, MI models and Mindfulness, we will work toward you accepting your feelings and thoughts, discovering your strengths and creating goals to increase your awareness of your ability to be "happy".
I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Great therapist and wonderful listener
I Believe that my therapist is the best therapist because she genuinely listens and is always there to give me the feedback that I need
Balynda has been a life saver. She is professional, personable, and gives me the time and space to work through what is on my mind. She is consistent and reliable. She is responsive to my needs. I would recommend that if you are looking for a Therapist that is willing and ready to help you ... you should give her a shot.
