Mario is attentive and thorough. He takes the time to allow me to talk, giving only constructive questions and feedback. While also taking the time to break down how my own behaviors are negatively affecting me. I am so grateful to have him as a member of my mental refresh squad, like a warm blanket with a hint of mint and lavender, lol.

Hello, my name is Mario, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor currently living in sunny Florida. I have a Bachelor's in Psychology and a Master's of Science Degree in Mental Health Counseling. I believe that everyone's life has value, and I have definitely found my own meaning working in this field, where I have been fortunate to be able to help many people improve their lives and their approaches to difficult times.
My clinical background is in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Existential Therapy, and I also utilize approaches from related therapies include Person-Centered, Family Systems, Dialectical Behavioral, and Reality Therapy. If you are curious about what those are, and what might be the best approach for you, don't hesitate to ask!
My approach involves working alongside my clients in discovering what works best for you, celebrating your successes, and non-judgmentally learning from mistakes. I will help you explore the connections between past experiences and current issues, and support you as you confront your past, unhealthy people in your life, or even yourself. I am not shy to talk about past traumas or regrets, and I will not judge you negatively for your past - this is about your future, after all! I do not believe there is a personal problem too small, or too large, to benefit from some good solid counseling.
I only ask that my clients come to me with a strong intention of healing, learning, and working on themselves. I am not here to tell you to get a hobby or write positive affirmations on your mirror (though there is nothing wrong with either of those things). I am here to help you make necessary changes in your life, and I kindly request that you participate in your sessions and messaging on this platform, while also utilizing things we have talked about outside of your sessions. Your time on this platform is valuable, and I plan to help you make it count.
I look forward to working with you and seeing things improve in your life!

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.

Thought we've only had a therapeutic relationship for a month or so, Mario has been so impactful for me; understanding my goals, implementing them, and making my development the first and foremost aspect of our sessions
Mario has been the best therapist I have had thus far. He has been able to respond to my concerns in a professional manner, with empathy, and understanding. He has cultivated a safe space for me to express myself authentically, without fear of judgment or the need to filter or wear any type of social mask. The worksheets and other resources he has shared, have helped me better understand myself and those around me. I have learned how to cope with life’s changes, in a healthier/helpful way. That shit is priceless and I am grateful.
I think my counselor Mario is very helpful he has an a tentative listening ear and very compassionate towards myself and my situation great guy
