Welcome to BetterHelp! Hello, I'm Brigitte Kay and I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Florida with 20+ years’ experience providing counseling and support to adults, youth and children in military, Hospice, non-profit, community-based, and academic settings, both internationally and domestically. As a social worker, helping individuals, children and families manage stressors and be successful is a priority. My experience includes, but not is not limited to, deployment and reintegration support, relationships issues, crisis interventions, stress management, grief, child behavioral concerns, academic support, occupational and other individual and family issues. My job as a counselor is to provide a safe and secure setting that allows a person to feel comfortable being their truest self as we work together as a team to sort out concerns, issues and goals.
I provide client-centered short-term, solution-focused counseling. I focus on a person's strengths and goals to determine and prioritize steps to achieve their goals. I believe my role is to support a person in their journey to maintain or improve their daily living, to help a person realize and maintain what's functioning well in their life, as well as, help them realize areas that may need adjustments and repairs to live the best life possible as they define the idea of "best life" to be.
It takes courage to ask for support. If you believe my approach will help you achieve your goals - I look forward to working with you.
Additional areas of focus: Relationship issues, Coping with life changes, Compassion fatigue, Aging and Geriatric Issues, Cancer, Caregiver issues and stress, Chronic pain illness and disability, Coping with Natural or Human-Caused Disaster, First Responder Issues, Hospice and End of Life Counseling, Military and Veterans Issues
Clinical approaches: Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy

I’m so happy we were matched !! Brigitte made me feel comfortable during my journey, she helped me realize how valuable I am. She taught me how to control my emotions and how to not let them take control over me, she gave me all the tools that I was missing to be myself again. She always greeted me with a beautiful and welcoming smile, she was exactly what I needed, She is very knowledgeable and professional, it was hard to say goodbye she is so good !!

Brigitte is great at giving realistic advice when needed, but also at leading a person to draw their own conclusions...a great way to successfully navigate hard emotions.
