Hello,
Pleasure to meet you! My name is Christina Nuñez and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for the state of Florida. I am also a proud alumni of Florida International University. I have experience working with military and veteran populations all ranging from young adolescents to older adults. I provide individual and group therapy focused on a variety of mental health concerns to include: Depression, Anxiety, Schizophrenia, Schizoaffective Disorder, Bipolar Disorder, and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. I also have experience working with adults in building coping skills for managing stressors, anger management, motivation, implementing mindfulness based practices for self care, cognitive behavioral strategies, supportive therapy, and trauma informed/patient centered care.
My counseling style is very warm, empathetic, interactive, and honest. My main role as a therapist is to assist my patients in recognizing their strengths and utilizing them to better manage their mental health and personal stressors. I believe in the innate resiliency and strengths of the individual and the power that one has to tackle their own mental health and engage in recovery with the help of the therapeutic process. I have a true passion in helping and empowering adults and young adults to tackle life's stressors and be in better control of their mental health. It takes courage in making the first step in reaching out for help. If you are ready to take the first step in empowering yourself and taking charge of your mental health, I am here to support you and answer any questions you may have!
I look forward to working with you!

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.
