Hello there, look at you making good choices! I am so glad you're pursuing your own path to wellness. Taking the first step is never an easy task. My name is Sheila and I am a licensed mental health counselor in the state of Florida. I've been working as a clinician for the last 6-7 years. I have worked in substance abuse treatment centers and an eating disorder treatment center. Prior to becoming a clinician, I was a 9-1-1 dispatcher. I am also a registered yoga teacher. My favorite clients to work with are those experiencing anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, addiction issues (food, sex, substances, gambling, etc.), first responders and those trying to learn how to cope with stress in effective, healthy ways. I would consider myself to be a master of mindfulness between my certification in yoga teachings and the training I've received in breathing techniques. I would love to help you beef up your own mindful practice and gain an awareness of skills that may become life changing. I have a lot of passion about therapeutic work and I look forward to empowering you as you begin your own journey inward. Let's do this together!

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.
