More about Rigaud

Hello, I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida, Certified Rehabilitation Counselor, and a National Certified Counselor. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including, but not limited to anxiety, life transitions, relationship issues, depression, stress management, disability management, disability adjustment, death and loss, self-advocacy, academic guidance, LGBT+ related issues, and caregiver fatigue. I also specialize in working with individuals facing challenges in their career.
My counseling style is sincere and collaborative. I utilize a solution-focused approach within a narrative framework. This means I will work with you to create solutions that work for you. I believe that we have the answers to our problems but from time to time we can become stuck. However, we are the authors of our stories, and we have the power to rewrite them. We can become overwhelmed with the expectations of the world around us and these expectations become the driving force in our personal and professional storylines.
It takes strength to take the first step towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
