More about Scott

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor licensed in Florida with over 9 years of experience working as a mental health and behavioral therapist. I am 38 years old and graduated with a masters in rehabilitation and mental health counseling from the University of South Florida.
I am caring, straight-forward and doing this job because I love what I do and believe in the therapeutic process as it has helped me. I would like to believe that the people I work with know they are in good hands, working with a real human being and not someone that is just "going through the motions."
I have worked with clients with a wide range of challenges including relationship problems, difficulty getting along with other people, severe physical, emotional and sexual trauma, anger management difficulties, severe family disturbances, depression, anxiety, self-esteem, stress management and poor decision making. I have a great deal of experience working with parenting for teenagers and adolescents. I have worked with single parents, married couples, adoptive parents and grandparents raising their grandchildren. I have a great deal of experience working with the families of people with mental health problems.
My counseling style has a cognitive-behavioral approach which focuses on how events connect with thoughts, feelings and ultimately, decisions. I am solution focused, which includes utilizing one's strengths to get the best possible outcomes. Yes, I listen, but I also teach skills, provide activities to practice skills and provide material for my clients to help retain information and carry it forward with them. I can be respectfully confrontational as needed to help break through obstacles. I promote a healthy, balanced lifestyle and assist with achieving that. I heavily focus on accepting responsibility for the things that occur and attempt to re-train the brain to "auto-correct" when we catch ourselves looking outward for why things are happening to us. Most importantly, I try to create a strong, connected and trusting bond with the people I work with.
I believe that we all have the strength within to improve in any area that we wish to improve in. I believe that we are all valuable and worthwhile. I believe that I can help you on your journey.

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.
