Therapists in Florida

My only goal is to help you and your family work through life's challenges — big and small. I am a Florida Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with an online therapy practice. I completed by M.S. in Marriage and Family Therapy at Nova Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale, Florida in 2000. I have a B.S. in Social Work from Muhlenberg College in Allentown, Pennsylvania. In the fifteen years since I began helping individuals and families as a therapist, I have focused my practice on brief therapy and solution-focused therapy. My goal is to make sure my clients reach a quick and effective solution to their varied challenges without dwelling on what brought them to therapy. I have worked with hundreds of clients from all walks of life in private practice and in multiple hospital settings in Florida, New York, and West Virginia. I taught other aspiring therapists as an Adjunct Professor of Marriage and Family Therapy at Marshall University in Charleston, West Virginia. My experience has provided me with a deep insight and a practical view of the problems people face in their personal and professional lives. I have worked with families on relationship issues, marriage problems, and chemical dependency. As a result, I can help address a variety of issues in your life.

Hello and congratulations on making the first step towards your new journey! My name is Charnell Benjamin-Carter. I’m a born again Christian and licensed mental health counselor practicing for over 14 years now. I graduated from Nova Southeastern University and completed my Internship at Hyde Park Counseling Center, an Inpatient Residential Facility for women specializing in Eating Disorders and Substance Abuse. My advanced training in Trauma Informed Care and Addictions is beneficial to healing and restoring the family unit. If you have been having problems in your relationship, I’m sure you’ve received lots of advice from friends, family and maybe even other counselors and wondering why things still seem broken. For years counselors have taught couples to "fight fair" and have active listening skills. While these tools are helpful, it’s not just that simple. I believe in addressing not only the symptoms, but the core issues. I use a multifaceted approach including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma Informed, Solution Focused Therapy, Reality Therapy, Conflict Resolution and Family Systems among others. My professional training is backed by over 14 years of experience working with couples and families exploring our faith, reducing depression & anxiety, exploring what makes relationships work, how to navigate through rough times and repair from trauma and infidelity. I apply some of the same principles taught in the 12 Step Program to treat addictions adding insight on the Disease Model of Addiction. I have assisted individuals and families for over 14 years, and I would like to help you!

My work is deeply rooted in understanding the intersections of personal identity, emotional wellness, and transformative change.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida and I have over 5 years of experience working with adults with anxiety, depression and other life stressors such as coping with chronic illness. My approach to counseling is to provide guidance to help you determine the best approach for improving your well-being. I use a solution-focused style along with motivational interviewing; however, I can adjust my therapeutic style to meet the needs of each client. Seeking counseling and asking for help can be very hard for some people so I like to create an environment free of judgement. No one should be made to feel ashamed about participating in counseling and working on improving and enhancing their lives. I look forward to working with you
