About me

I am a licensed Clinical Social worker with extensive background in community mental health with a concentration in child and family services. I have over 15 years of experience working as a psychotherapist. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, bipolar, schizophrenia, mood disorders, PTSD, relationship issues, addiction issues, parenting problems, career challenges, behavioral issues , and ADHD. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma OR emotional abuse. As a clinical social worker, I have worked with a diverse population in several services areas and enjoys the ability to make an impact in peoples lives by being an agent of change in their recovery or functioning level.

My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, dignity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, Solution-focus, motivational interviewing, psychodynamic and rational-emotive therapy. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.

I look forward to working with you!

Reviews

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Florence Uchechi. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.

Florence has helped me over the last few months after a few major life changes left me feeling hopeless. She gave me tools to move forward and I'm feeling way stronger than I've ever felt. She listens, and points things out that I didn't even realise, and also pushed me to take uncomfortable steps. Thank you Florence

I am very pleased with my interactions with Florence Uchechi. I was not sure what to expect from virtual therapy but Florence quickly put me at ease and has been very helpful and responsive. I look forward to our video sessions and feel that we are connected even though we do not meet in person.

Florence is excellent! She's knowledgeable and sensitive to what I am experiencing. She has so many different ways to look at my situation and help me feel better about what I'm going through.

It is so easy to talk to her about things especially the struggles that you face. She is a good listener and engages her patients with questions that are not difficult to answer which makes you realize a lot of things in life. She encourages and praises a job well done in facing the struggles.
