I'm Mariana — a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and EMDR-trained therapist. I grew up in a bilingual Latino household where two worlds, two languages, and two sets of expectations lived side by side. I know what it feels like to navigate between them. I lived and worked in Madrid, Spain which deepened my understanding of what it means to be "between" — between cultures, between the life you came from and the life you're building. That experience lives in my work every day. I believe the threshold — the in-between — is not empty. It's full of possibility. My job is to help you cross it with clarity, courage, and a lot less weight on your shoulders. With over eight years of clinical experience and specialized training in EMDR, I work with individuals and couples navigating trauma, burnout, life transitions, relationship ruptures, and identity questions. I bring deep cultural curiosity to every session — because who you are in full is what belongs in the room.

Finding a licensed therapist near you in Florida can be an important step toward improving your mental health and overall well-being. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, stress, or major life changes, working with a qualified mental health professional can offer meaningful support.

Florida is home to people with diverse mental health needs across urban, suburban, and rural communities. Online therapy makes it easier to connect with a therapist near you without being limited to nearby offices. BetterHelp connects you with licensed therapists authorized to practice in Florida, allowing you to attend sessions online from the comfort of your home.

Why work with a licensed therapist near you?

Working with a licensed therapist near you ensures that your provider meets state licensing requirements and professional standards in Florida (FL).

People seek therapy for many reasons. Some are navigating ongoing mental health concerns, while others want guidance during stressful periods or major life transitions. You do not need a mental health diagnosis to work with a therapist. Many individuals seek therapy to improve communication, strengthen relationships, manage stress, or gain greater self-awareness.

Online therapy can be especially helpful for people living across Florida, where access to in-person mental health care may vary by location.
