Hi, I’m Rochae, and thank you for being here. Finding the right therapist can feel like a big decision, so I’m honored you’re taking a moment to learn a little about me. Whether you’re navigating a difficult season, looking for support, or simply wanting to better understand yourself, I’m glad you’re here. I became a therapist because I believe everyone deserves a space where they can be fully themselves without judgment, pressure, or the feeling that they have to face life’s challenges alone. Asking for help isn’t always easy, and my goal is to create an environment where you feel safe, respected, and genuinely supported from our very first conversation. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with several years of experience as a Mobile Crisis Clinician, supporting adults through some of life’s most challenging moments. Throughout my career, I’ve worked with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, overwhelming stress, grief, suicidal crises, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. These experiences have taught me the importance of meeting people where they are with compassion, empathy, and hope. I enjoy working with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, self-esteem challenges, stress, and life transitions. Whether you’re feeling stuck, emotionally exhausted, uncertain about your next step, or simply looking for a place where you can speak openly without fear of judgment, you don’t have to face it alone. I believe therapy is a partnership built on trust, honesty, and collaboration. My role isn’t to tell you what to do or to have all the answers. Instead, I’m here to help you better understand yourself, recognize your strengths, and develop practical tools that support the life you want to create. Together, we’ll move at a pace that feels right for you while working toward meaningful and lasting change. My approach is warm, collaborative, and personalized to your unique needs. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Person-Centered Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Strengths-Based Therapy, always remembering that no two people or their stories are the same. I know opening up can feel vulnerable, especially if this is your first experience with therapy. My hope is that you’ll find our sessions to be a place where you feel heard, supported, and empowered to grow. I believe meaningful change is possible, and sometimes the hardest part is simply taking the first step. Whenever you’re ready, I’ll be here to support you.

Find a therapist near you in Glen Saint Mary, Florida

Finding a therapist near you in Glen Saint Mary, Florida starts with matching to a licensed professional who fits your needs, schedule, and goals. Florida is home to people with diverse mental health needs across urban, suburban, and rural communities, which can make it challenging to find care. BetterHelp connects you with a licensed therapist through tailored matching, so you can begin care from home or wherever works for you. 

The network includes over 30,000 licensed therapists globally, and over 4 million people have used BetterHelp to find support through online therapy. During matching, 93% of user preferences are met, which helps you connect with a therapist suited to what you are looking for. Whether you are searching for help with anxiety, trauma, affordable or insurance covered therapy, weekend or flexible scheduling, or virtual sessions, you can find a therapist and get started when you are ready.

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. Therapists on BetterHelp may draw on approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), depending on your needs and goals. You can explore support for specific concerns on pages such as generalized anxiety disorder, major depressive disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, and eating disorders.

Please note that therapists on BetterHelp do not provide psychiatric medication management or formal diagnoses.

Online therapy vs. in-person therapy in Florida

Online therapy and in-person therapy both connect you with a licensed professional, and the main difference is how you meet. In Florida, online therapy through BetterHelp lets you have sessions by phone, video, or in-app messaging, so you can meet from home or on a schedule that fits your life. In-person therapy takes place at an office and may involve travel and set appointment windows. Online therapy may be more accessible for people with busy schedules, limited transportation, or a preference for a more discreet setting. Both formats can support meaningful progress, so the right choice often comes down to what fits your life.

BetterHelp accepts insurance through many major insurance plans. Insurance availability and coverage may vary by state, plan, provider network, and therapist availability, and deductible status. Eligible members' average copay is $23 per session.

If you prefer to pay without insurance, BetterHelp subscriptions range from $70 to $100 per week, billed as an alternative way to access the same care, and you can use HSA and FSA funds toward the cost.
