More about Althea
- 10 years' experience
- Female
- LMFT
As a Florida Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist with over 10 years of experience, I currently work online in Private Practice using evidence-based models of therapy that get results. My experience includes working with clients that present a wide variety of issues such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, trauma-related issues, goal-setting hurdles, and other areas of needing self-empowerment.
My mission is to empower you to overcome the obstacles of anxiety and depression, to become unstuck in accomplishing your goals, to begin feeling fulfilled, to step out of the shadows and fears caused by past traumatic events, to take back the reins of control in your life, and to start living a life of fulfillment, peace, balance, and be the overcomer! I would be honored to accompany you on your journey of rediscovering and re-establishing your strengths, and be equipped with the tools you need to become better problem solvers.
I realize that it’s not easy to decide on which therapist may be best for you, but I’m hoping you will take a leap of faith and give us a chance to work together. I’m looking forward to meeting you soon and to helping you accomplish your goals!

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.

She is so awesome and I would love to recommend her to anybody.
Althea is attentive and compassionate. She offered valuable solutions to help me on my journey.. I will continue my sessions with her and I highly recommend her to other.
Amazing
I've only had the privilege of having Ms. Sawyers as my counselor for 2 months but it was a very nice experience. In those two months, she did shed some light on things that was a bit difficult for me to understand in addition to listening me and allowing me to vent when necessary. I found the journaling particularly cathartic and her responses - even better. Outside of serious talk, she is always down to have a laugh or two, she has a great sense of humor. I recommend her 10/10.
Althea Sawyers is a warm, friendly voice I need to hear right now. She listens and is able to give useful feedback. I always leave our conversations with something to think about.
Anthea has a soft calming voice that immediately sets me at ease. She not only listens, she provides input and resources to help initiate and maintain positive change. Her plethora of experience gives her insight into challenging situations and complicated life issues. I highly recommend her.
Althea helped me work through my issues with personalized care and always made me feel like I was in a comfortable and safe space.
My sessions with Althea have been amazing! She has taken the time to listen and understand the issues I am dealing with in my life and relationship. Her insight has provided me great clarity and hope for the future. She has challenged me in ways to open my mind and better my communication skills which have had an immediate positive impact on my life as a whole. I am a better person entirely after only two sessions with her! This has been life-changing and the best investment in myself that I have ever made. I was on the fence about counseling because it was never something of the norm within my circle of life, but I am glad I stepped outside the box and took the initiative to seek help. Coming across Better Help has been a life-saver and since I have signed up I have already convinced my partner to sign up as well. She is going through sessions that are helping her with her issues and I have already referred Better Help to some close friends and family as well. I recommended Better Help to anyone and I would definitely recommend Althea to anyone as well! Thank you so much for everything!
Miss Althea has been very supportive and helpful.
