My name is Joia Hillman, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the state of Florida. With extensive experience working with individuals and their families in various settings—home, community, and hospital environments—I have gained a deep understanding of the importance of a collaborative approach. This involves working closely with clients, families, and multidisciplinary teams to assess and address life’s challenges.

My counseling philosophy centers on empowerment. I strive to help every person I work with overcome obstacles and develop healthier coping mechanisms. I am passionate about forming therapeutic relationships, which I believe are the foundation for meaningful change and personal growth.

I am so happy you have taken the first step towards better well-being. Reach out today, and let’s work together to navigate life’s challenges. I look forward to supporting you on your journey.

About online counseling

Affordable.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Joia is a great therapist. She is very compassionate and sweet but she asks the hard questions that you are trying to avoid. She makes an hour feel like 5 minutes. I feel like she’s my friend not my therapist!!
