Therapists in Florida

Hi! my name is David Potts and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have been working as a licensed mental health therapist on the Gulf Coast of Southwest Florida for 14 years. I have been with Better Help now for almost 5 years. I love what the online platform of Better Help offers to the clients with many options that are offered. I have been working as a psychotherapist/clinical social worker with individuals, teens, young adults and adults of all ages. I have also worked with the family dynamic for most of my career. Since working with Better Help, I have found that working outside my community and on this platform has extended my practice to many parts of the world! My area of expertise has been working with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting dilemmas, stress in school or work, grief-loss, motivation, other life stressors. Other areas include working with Bi-Polar Disorders and ADHD/ADD. I have also worked with adults who experienced severe and persistent mental health issues that included schizophrenia, personality disorders, and alcohol/substance addiction and abuse. I have worked in many clinical settings including working in outpatient and residential settings. I have specialized working with teens who have experienced abandonment, loss of family, parents and/or home. Some of these teens also had a history of physical trauma, sexual or emotional abuse, and alcohol/substance addiction. My counseling style is open and engaging, and I approach all my clients with commitment and compassion. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral therapy, existential, psychodynamic, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused therapies. I will adjust my approaches and treatment plan to follow your individual needs and to meet your goals. I like to seek root causes of the issues that may be interfering with life that can sometimes become very overwhelming and frustrating that can interrupt with striving to have a better quality of life. I like to look at the cause and affect approach with the hope is that you can make the small changes necessary to find happiness. Progress not perfection is what I like to say. I am glad that you are taking this first step in seeking positive change. I am here to encourage and support you in your therapeutic journey!

Hello, and welcome to my virtual office! I would first like to acknowledge your strength and courage in taking this step toward making your mental health and wellness a priority. To tell you a bit about my background, I am a licensed therapist in FL, MA, OR, and WA with over 10 years experience working with a variety of populations as I have strived to assist clients on their journey toward hope, growth, and healing. I am also well-versed in providing teletherapy services,. I would describe my style as laid back and conversational in nature. I view therapy as a collaborative partnership, in which the therapeutic alliance sets the foundation for successful outcomes. As an integrated therapist, I reject a “one size fits all” approach. I draw from various modalities as necessitated by the presenting issue, and believe that techniques should be tailored to individualized needs. I seek to minimize “labeling,” and strive to make a genuine human connection with clients as they share their unique worldview and experiences. Ultimately, I believe it is the client who is the expert of his or her own life. It is my goal to provide an empathetic space where clients feel safe and empowered to be their authentic selves and live in their truth. I look forward to working with you, and believe that together, we can foster positive change in your life.

Hi, I’m Amanda. I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida with over a 15 years of experience helping people who feel overwhelmed, anxious, sensitive, burned out, or disconnected from themselves. I also hold a master’s degree in Human Nutrition and Functional Medicine, which means I understand how deeply your emotional world and physical symptoms can affect each other. If you’re dealing with chronic stress, fatigue, sleep issues, or long-term health challenges alongside anxiety or emotional overwhelm, you’re not alone. Many of my clients come to me feeling like their mind and body are “exhausted” at the same time. Together, we work on making sense of those patterns and building small, supportive habits around things like eating, sleep rhythms, and nervous system balance — without pressure or perfectionism. I’m trained in EMDR and somatic healing approaches, which means we won’t just talk about your feelings — we’ll also help your body feel safer, calmer, and more regulated. My style is warm, grounded, and non-judgmental. You set the pace, and I meet you where you are.
