More about Floyd
- 35 years' experience
- Male
- LCSW
I chose to be a licensed therapist and clinical social worker because of my life mission to make a difference and care for others. Combining a degree in Art Education with a specialization in Art Therapy, a degree in Counselor Education, certification as a Criminal Justice Specialist, and over forty years of experience in the field, I have developed a unique expertise in creatively helping a diverse clientele. With special emphasis on being trauma-informed, using client centered approaches, and focusing on cognitive behavioral techniques, I have worked with child & adult survivors of sexual abuse, at-risk youth in juvenile detention and residential settings, experiential learning settings, and children & adults in faith-based services. I have experience working with those who are struggling with anxiety, depression, anger management, and many other life challenges. Combining years of experience with current evidence-based interventions, I am able to use my acquired wisdom and youthful spirit to help clients find the “healthier self” that lies within.
If you have decided to reach out for help, or if you are curious about how your life could be better, I am ready to be the support you are looking for, so let's talk!

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.
