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, 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.
