John Phelps
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the state of Florida. I studied at Florida Atlantic University where I received my Bachelors degree in Psychology (2011), and Masters degree in Social Work (2014) specializing in practice with Adults and Families. During my education I completed my internships in a Crisis Stabilization Unit (Baker Act Facility) and in a college counseling center. Since then I have continued my career as a Therapist working for a community mental health agency working with client's of all ages with diverse backgrounds. I have also volunteered at an LGBT resource center where I functioned as a peer counselor and researcher for healthcare disparities in the LGBT community. Additionally I have developed and facilitated LGBT safe zone trainings to improve support in the community. My approach to treatment is focused treating clients as real people who deserve a therapeutic relationship that is honest, validates their feelings and experiences, and challenges them to change. My counseling style is a more laid back, and I have been described as supportive, caring, and compassionate, with a pretty good sense of humor, and able to "be real" with clients. I employ education as a tool alongside cognitive behavioral therapy, solution focused therapy, trauma informed care, and mindfulness skills to help my clients identify and reach their goals.

Our life path is full of ups and downs with unexpected twists and turns. We learn to develop a way of coping whether it is a positive or negative method to help deal with stressors or adapt to change. However, the majority of the time, we fall back on what we are accustomed to when dealing with a stressful situation or unexpected change; such as becoming confused, frustrated, emotional, withdrawing, angry, combative, or ignoring the situation and hoping the situation will just magically disappear or be resolved. Sometimes we need assistance to develop positive coping skills to deal with unexpected change or stressful situations. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have worked with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families to overcome numerous challenges. Besides treating many mental health conditions, I have specialized training in treating anxiety, career, conflict, depression, grief, self-esteem, anger management, behavior issues, stress, trauma, substance abuse, and co-occurring disorder. My approach combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Person-Centered Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness, Solution Focus Brief Therapy, and Strength-based therapy. I encourage collaboration from you when designing a treatment plan to ensure it is implemented properly and to increase the potential for a successful outcome. Your well-being is my priority, and I am looking forward to helping you meet your goal.

Yulia Nesterenko
Welcome to BetterHelp! My name is Yulia and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in the state of Florida with 12 years of experience in a mental health field. For the past 4 years I have been providing counseling exclusively in the online settings. I believe that for every problem there is a solution and the main goal is to find the right solution for you. The majority of my experience has been working with clients with mood disorders, such as depression and anxiety, as well as relationship issues, life changes and adjustment issues. Mostly utilized approaches in my practice are CBT-Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, where we can explore how our thinking, feelings and actions are interconnected and affect each other; Solution Focused Approach is used when clients present a very specific problem that needs a specific solution, so the main focus of our therapy sessions will be exploring all options and possibilities and generating the best possible solution to your current concern. For some of my clients who suffer from a long term depression and a loss of meaning and motivation in life, I suggest we “dive a little deeper” and apply Existential psychotherapy approach. Existential approach has proven to be the most suitable when it comes to finding the meaning of life; this is when we are exploring and looking closely at the individual purpose of life and helping clients to create meaningful experiences in life and foster meaningful relationships. During sessions, you can expect compassion and understanding, it is my goal to provide a safe space that is gentle, collaborative, and direct in order to help you better understand and find a solution to current or long-standing challenges. I look forward to supporting and guiding you on your journey to improved mental health and your overall life. I am available for an audio phone sessions. If my current schedule doesn’t reflect desired time/days, please send me a message and we can make necessary arrangements. I’m very flexible with appointments and I’m sure I will be able to accommodate your specific time/days requests.

Rachel Salerno
I am a clinical psychologist, licensed in Florida with over 25 years of professional work experience. Sometimes, "therapy" seems to be identified and connotated with an idea that the psychologist or therapist has the answers to all of one's challenges. I believe therapy to be a place in which you can express yourself without judgement, there is likely a natural rapport and connection. One has to feel comfortable in this process. Who are we. Who am I. The multitude of variables and influences that influence us. This carries on through our life as we work, have children, and suffer loss, change, and attempts to see our lives as worthy. We are human. I can tell you my work history, that varies from state psychiatric, to homeless, addiction, to the elderly. I have worked with clients suffering from depression, bipolar, anxiety, trauma. I am EMDR certified, technique helping those that suffer from trauma and anxiety. I believe all connected. It is all encompassing. Our childhood history follows through the multitude of variables we face as we grow older. To follow our hearts, to self-actualize, to be authentic, to self-love. So much to say, so little space, it's only a conversation and then you go from there. I believe that you are the expert of your story, I am here to listen to it.
