More about Florence
- 41 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I have been a clinical social worker for over 40 years, working with children, adolescents and families. My experience ranges from providing therapy to children and adults, supervision and consultation to colleagues, program development and mentoring student interns. I specialize in child, adolescent and family therapy, trauma, child and adult ADHD, parenting, and blended families.
I understand the ambivalence about asking for help and work hard to establish a comfort level with our first contact. I consider this to be a mutual interview designed to answer the following question: do you think we can work together and do I believe I can help. My treatment approach is individualized to you; we establish goals based on your needs; there will be a clear understanding of when those goals have been achieved. We will celebrate your accomplishments and collaborate on revising our treatment plan when progress is not being made. I tailor my psychotherapeutic approach to your needs and always bring always unconditional acceptance, respect and empathy to our session.
In conclusion, I count myself lucky to be doing what I consider my passion after 40 something years. My enthusiasm for my work has never abated. You are not a case file, patient number or “my 2:00 appointment.” I will treat you the way I would want to be treated. This is my promise to 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.

Florence is SMART. That's the best thing about her... She listens and she's smart enough to ask what's not being said.
Florence is excellent. I feel that I have greatly benefited from her sessions. I highly recommend.
An amazing professional and kind therapist. She saved my life after I fell off an emotional cliff. Emotionally held my hand as I faced up to childhood abuse. I totally trust her. Highly recommend
Where do I start. I needed to look at childhood abuse. Florence kept me on the rails while I devolved into that horrible trauma. Florence guided me during and throughout my resolution to this abuse. She held my hand and supported me but kept me focused on my feelings. Because of her, I am able to move on knowing fully where I came from and who I am. So grateful I found her and will always owe her for saving my life. She saved my life. That compliment is to her and her professional psychiatric skills. I feel better now than ever in my life. She helped me become a better person. Highly recommend Florence.
Florence is amazing, and always makes me feel at home, I always feel refreshed after speaking with her
I found a good therapist in Florence at Betterhelp. Not always the case. I am grateful to find her when I needed to address childhood trauma. This is a big deal for me. Being raised by a Marine, I grew up hard and strong. But I had trauma that haunted me. Since my work with Florence, I am no longer haunted by those memories. She guided me to unpack the trauma, look at it, acknowledge and put it where it belongs. Git more work to do into how that affected me and my decisions. Can't wait to feel even better than I already feel. Win win.
Just got started, but I love the journal and phone sessions. Florence is great about responding to journal entries and keeping the conversation going in a healthy direction.
Florence is awesome. Modern, thoughtful, and knowledgeable.
She is amazing!! I actually look forward to therapy! Her experience and professionalism really shows!
Love working with Florence!
I cannot say enough about Florence. She's been nothing short of amazing. She listens to my concerns and offers insightful and practical advice. Thank you for being so compassionate and kind through a very difficult time in my life. It is so needed and appreciated. Thank you!
Absolutely adore Florence! She is a great listener, provides amazing feedback that doesn’t feel attack-ish and assigns “homework” that is do-able and not overwhelming to help live with the inconsistencies and annoyances of my mental health. She’s only been my therapist for a little while now but we have already managed to get a lot done together and I would recommend her to both my favorite people and my sworn enemies cause she’s just so great!
