Lori Miller
I’ve spent my life confined to a wheelchair, so I believe I have a unique understanding of just how challenging life can be and the strength it takes to ask for help. Whatever your struggles, I believe the first step to helping you overcome them is to build a connection with you based on commonly shared thoughts, feelings, and actions impacting how we feel, how we relate to others, and how we achieve our goals. Once you and I have identified any unhelpful thoughts, feelings, and actions standing in your way, we will work together on a plan to help you succeed by giving you the skills, confidence, and belief that your emotional well-being doesn’t depend on others or events you can’t control. While pursuing my Master’s degree in Psychology from the University of West Florida and licensure as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), I have gained 12 + years of clinical experience helping adults, teens, children, and families heal from a variety of emotional wounds to include: PTSD, grief and loss, intimate partner violence, physical, sexual, emotional abuse, and neglect. I have worked with veterans, people dealing with substance dependence, homelessness, and chronic health problems. In sum, my approach is not to make you relive the past, but to help you recognize--and ultimately, change--the core hurtful beliefs and actions fueling your current anxiety, depression, anger, low self-esteem and relationship conflicts. I am ready to listen when you share, sit in silence when you need it, and best of all, cheer on your successes!

Cheryl Freimuth
Welcome to a peek into my life. I am a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC), in the beautiful sunshine state of Florida. I have been blessed to have many tassels on my hat of life. I began teaching Anatomy/Biology at the high school level over 36 years ago, then became an adjunct professor in the mental health program, where due to my background in Biology I was asked to teach Human Sexuality to the counseling students. I have practiced mental health counseling for 25years, and during that time have had the opportunity to develop a great bag of tools to help with my client's metamorphosis into a confident individual. As a mental health counselor, I mainly work with couples who are dealing with communication issues as well as intimacy issues. I am often called upon to assist people dealing with parenting dilemmas. During my year's teaching and counseling, I have been blessed to develop a common sense and eclectic style of therapy. I always tailor my mode of therapy to the client's best interest. I firmly believe the client must be the focus, therefore Client-Centered Therapy is always the foundation, as I believe respect, trust, and self-awareness is essential to the client-finding their answers to their concerns. I feel each person has all the answers or solutions to their concerns or stressors within, just where God has placed them. I want to assure you that there isn't too much under the sun that I haven't seen, heard, or experienced as a counselor. I also want to assure you that this road that we are about to embark upon is a journey that we will take together; Hand in hand, side by side. I am here to support and help you as you travel this amazing trail to self-awareness I am very aware of the courage and strength that one has in order to ask a stranger for help, in such major life's trials and tribulations. I admire you for taking these first difficult steps and am excited to embark on this healing process. I am excited to get started walking along beside you as we continue to once again find your place of peace.
Linda Milewski
Hello, I’m Linda Milewski, a Licensed Clinical Therapist and addiction specialist of 20 years. I hold a Masters in Social Work (MSW) and am trained in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused Brief Therapy, Somatic Experiencing, Non Violent Communication (NVC), Trauma-informed Care and Awareness, Tibetan Sound Bowl Healing, as well as Mindfulness practices. Additionally, I hold international certifications in addiction, Employee Assistance Program, and Sober Coaching. After nearly two decades in inpatient psychiatric units, recovery facilities, mental health agencies, and wellness centers, I have helped stabilize many clients suffering from crisis, addiction, trauma, mood disorders and stress responses to various types of trauma. I developed a keen interest in various types of symptoms that create behaviors most would consider detrimental to their lives. As I travelled extensively internationally, delving deeper into the causes of suffering, I began to understand more deeply what (in the Buddhist context), “suffering” means and how we can heal from it. I began looking at the client as a “whole organism” by exploring how the body and its nervous system becomes severely compromised over time stemming from chronic stress. I have learned that when the body is relaxed through certain techniques, there is no room for stress or trauma to be held. Through regulating the body and nervous system, we create a safe and calm therapeutic space from which to find creative and authentic solutions to our daily challenges. I believe that once the body feels safe, we are supported to make deep and life-changing shifts. Non Violent Communication (NVC) is important to me. This modality supports us to speak authentically from the heart, tying in beautifully with mindfulness practices, trauma awareness and the regulation of emotions through somatic work. This method also supports us to set boundaries in ways that are compassionate for ourselves and others, enabling us to foster deeper, more authentic connection. My approach with each client is to provide support, accountability, and structure that honors and helps clients to step out into post traumatic growth. Through use of a range of techniques, tools and therapeutic approaches, I see transformations in my clients as they experience a strong feeling of overall safety and well being. I look forward to hearing from you and going on this journey of healing and self discovery with you!

Lessy Nezifort
Hello, and welcome. I’m Lessy Alexis, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over five years of experience providing compassionate, client-centered mental health care to children, adolescents, adults, and families. I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, relationship and family challenges, parenting concerns, trauma, grief, and difficulties managing everyday responsibilities. My professional experience includes outpatient therapy, crisis intervention, and care coordination, giving me a holistic perspective on emotional wellness and the many factors that influence mental health. My therapy style is warm, collaborative, supportive, and grounded in compassion. I believe every person deserves to be treated with dignity, respect, empathy, and without judgment. I strive to create a safe and welcoming space where you can openly explore your thoughts, emotions, experiences, and faith while feeling heard and understood. For clients who desire a Christian counseling approach, I integrate biblical wisdom and Christian faith into the therapeutic process in a way that respects your beliefs, values, and personal relationship with God. I believe faith can be an important source of hope, strength, identity, and guidance during difficult seasons. Scripture reminds us that God is near to those who are hurting (Psalm 34:18) and encourages us to seek wisdom, especially when we feel uncertain or overwhelmed (James 1:5). My approach is rooted in trauma-informed, strengths-based, and client-centered care. I draw from evidence-based practices, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), while thoughtfully incorporating biblical principles when appropriate and desired. Together, we can explore the connection between thoughts, emotions, behaviors, relationships, and spiritual well-being. We may also incorporate practices such as prayer, Scripture reflection, gratitude, forgiveness, healthy boundaries, and developing a deeper understanding of identity and purpose through a Christian worldview. I believe Christian counseling does not mean ignoring the challenges we experience or simply telling ourselves to “have more faith.” Rather, it can provide a space to honestly acknowledge pain while seeking God's wisdom, comfort, and strength as we work toward healing. As Philippians 4:6–7 reminds us, we can bring our worries and concerns to God while developing greater peace and emotional awareness. Together, we will identify practical strategies to help you manage difficult emotions, overcome challenges, strengthen relationships, build resilience, and create meaningful and lasting change. We will work at a pace that honors your experiences while recognizing the strengths, values, resources, and faith that can support your growth. Reaching out for support takes courage, and you don't have to face life's challenges alone. Whether you're navigating anxiety, healing from past experiences, adjusting to a major life transition, working through relationship or family concerns, or seeking personal and spiritual growth, I’m here to walk alongside you with compassion, professionalism, and respect. My goal is to help you develop healthier ways of thinking and coping, strengthen your relationships, recognize your God-given strengths, and move toward greater emotional, relational, and spiritual well-being. As Proverbs 3:5–6 encourages us, we can learn to trust God while seeking wisdom and direction along the journey. I look forward to partnering with you on your journey toward healing, growth, hope, and a deeper sense of purpose.

Why work with a licensed therapist near you?
Working with a licensed therapist near you gives you access to professional mental health support from someone trained to help you understand and manage what you are going through. A licensed therapist can offer evidence-based approaches, a steady space to talk, and guidance tailored to your situation. In Florida, online therapy can make that care more accessible, since sessions happen from home or wherever you are, without the need to travel to an office. This can help if your schedule is full, if travel is difficult, or if you simply prefer a more discreet setting. You can learn more about what a therapist does on the therapist role page.
Online therapy can be especially helpful for people living across Florida, where access to in-person mental health care may vary by location.
What concerns can therapists help with?
Therapists can help with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety and stress, depression, trauma and PTSD, self-esteem and identity, people-pleasing and fear of rejection, insomnia and racing thoughts, workplace stress and burnout, substance use, parenting and co-parenting stress, grief and loss, and relationship and family challenges.
