I had a great experience and am so grateful for the time we got to work together! What a blessing to be able to connect online. We only had a month together but each of our sessions were so impactful and a lot shifted over the course of the month.

“The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new.” – Socrates
Welcome to my psychotherapy practice. I'm Teresita, a licensed clinical social worker in the state of Florida for over 30 years. I felt led to a career in psychotherapy from a young age, as I’ve always had an interest in people, relationships and how they work. I was that person in high school whom friends seemed to confide in and trust. This instinctively led to my pursuing a career in clinical social work, where I found a natural fit in assisting individuals with anxiety, depression and personal/relationship issues.
Like most therapists, I have worked in many areas that led to gaining valuable experiences providing treatment involving divorce, domestic violence, gender dysphoria, caregiving and aging, acute inpatient psychiatric hospitalization, crisis stabilization, anxiety and depression.
I believe I’ve helped individuals find meaning, finding empowerment and a way forward when they are at a crossroads in their lives.
If you’re seeking help, know that you’ve come to a safe, compassionate place. My approach will be tailored to your unique needs as I use a client centered focus to help you achieve your goals.
Together, we’ll work to explore your concerns, develop coping strategies and foster personal growth. Your comfort throughout this process is important to me, I strive to create an environment where you will feel heard, understood and empowered. I will ask for feedback to ensure that you are getting the type of help you feel you are seeking.
Feel free to explore more about my practice and how I can assist you. Taking the first step can sometimes be the hardest, but it's also the most courageous. I look forward to the opportunity to support you on your journey to a happier, healthier 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.
