More about Scott
- 17 years' experience

- LCSW
I am an individual, couples, family, and relationship counselor licensed in Florida as an LCSW with over 17 years of experience as a social worker and counselor. I have experience in working with clients with a variety of concerns including stress, anxiety, family concerns, grief and loss, parenting, and relationship issues.
My counseling style is client-centered based on your individual needs and concerns. I follow a solution-focused perspective based on your individual, social, psychological, and relational strengths working to decrease and eliminate issues and challenges. In following this perspective, I treat all clients with dignity and respect creating an open and inviting environment to address your primary concerns.
It takes strength and courage to seek help and you have now taken the first step in securing a healthier life for yourself and/or building relationships with those you value and love. I look forward to assisting you on this path.

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.
