More about Rigaud
- 5 years' experience

- LMHC
Hello, I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida, Certified Rehabilitation Counselor, and a National Certified Counselor. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including, but not limited to anxiety, life transitions, relationship issues, depression, stress management, disability management, disability adjustment, death and loss, self-advocacy, academic guidance, LGBT+ related issues, and caregiver fatigue. I also specialize in working with individuals facing challenges in their career.
My counseling style is sincere and collaborative. I utilize a solution-focused approach within a narrative framework. This means I will work with you to create solutions that work for you. I believe that we have the answers to our problems but from time to time we can become stuck. However, we are the authors of our stories, and we have the power to rewrite them. We can become overwhelmed with the expectations of the world around us and these expectations become the driving force in our personal and professional storylines.
It takes strength to take the first step towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
