Online Therapy in Florida

Open, affirming, and professional therapists for residents of Florida: now fully online!

Therapy can be an incredibly helpful tool for managing mental health struggles, processing life challenges, and working towards inner peace and personal growth. However, finding a therapist that truly understands and affirms all aspects of your identity can be difficult, especially if you're part of the LGBTQ+ community. 

LGBTQ+-affirming therapists offer safe, welcoming virtual therapy for Florida residents

LGBTQ+-affirming therapists create an open, accepting, and supportive environment for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer clients. They understand the unique challenges and discrimination that LGBTQ+ individuals face. An LGBTQ+-affirming therapist:

  • Actively works to be sensitive to the experiences and needs of LGBTQ+ clients

  • Does not assume heterosexuality or cisgender identity  

  • Uses gender neutral language until the client's preferences are known

  • Challenges assumptions about gender and sexuality 

  • Helps clients explore their identity without judgment

  • Validates each client's identity and encourages self-acceptance

Our team of licensed therapists are committed to providing a warm, welcoming environment for LGBTQ+ folks and allies who live in Florida. Whether you're struggling with coming out, looking for support around gender transition, or simply hoping to work with a therapist who honors the nuances of your lived experiences, we're here to help.

Our experienced therapists can provide counseling and support for a wide range of issues commonly faced by LGBTQ+ individuals, as well as the general population. Some of the more common concerns we help clients with include:

  • Depression: Feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and loss of interest that persist for weeks or longer could indicate clinical depression. We help clients understand the factors contributing to their depression and develop strategies and skills to manage their moods and reclaim joy in their lives.

  • Anxiety: Excessive worry, nervousness, panic attacks, and avoidance behaviors can seriously impact your quality of life. Through therapy, you can better manage anxiety symptoms, identify triggers, and stop avoiding situations that cause you distress. 

  • Identity issues: Questioning your sexual orientation or gender identity can stir up confusion, fear, and inner turmoil. We provide a safe, judgment-free space to explore who you are. Our affirming therapists understand the challenges of the coming out process and can offer guidance as you embrace your authentic self.

  • Trauma: PTSD, childhood abuse, sexual assault, and other traumatic experiences often require professional support to process and move forward. We are trauma-informed and can help you develop healthier coping strategies to overcome pain from your past. 

  • Grief: The death of a loved one, job loss, divorce, and other significant losses can lead to intense grief. We guide you through the stages of bereavement with compassion as you process pain and move towards acceptance.

  • Life transitions: Changes like starting college, coming out, getting married, retiring, or having children can be exciting yet stressful times. Therapy helps you adjust to your new normal, reduce uncertainty, and set yourself up for success during life's big transitions.
