My name is Lynette Maggs and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in the state of Florida. I started my practice in a community mental health agency in the state of Florida gaining a wealth of knowledge and perspective of the scope of mental illness within our communities. This led me down the path to specialize in areas such as the welfare of children and families affected by trauma and its impact not only on the individual, the family but also the entire community. I have worked with families and individuals who have experienced anxiety, depression, abuse/neglect, parenting difficulties, addiction, stress, loss, and the day to day hurdles each of us face in life. I would describe my approach as empathetic, warm, goal oriented, and client centered. I use Cognitive Behavioral therapy, as well as Client Focused therapy as the basis to my therapeutic approach to help my clients set goals and objectives, work through their traumas, and feel empowered once they have met their goals. I earned my Bachelor Degree through attending universities in the eastern U.S as my family traveled with my husband in his Coast Guard career. My Master Degree from Liberty University, Virginia in Mental Health Counseling. I have been practicing in the field for the past 20 years with a wealth of training and experiences prior to this time. I believe humor is essential as we face our hurdles in life and this has been lent to me through the 36 years of marriage, a daughter and navigating this all through 20 years of military life.

I’m Dr. Sam Heastie, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with more than twenty years of clinical experience helping people move through anxiety and chronic stress, depression and mood-related concerns, relationship and family challenges, and the impacts of trauma, including PTSD. I work with adults and couples, and I’m especially committed to creating a grounded, affirming space for men of color, where you can show up fully, speak honestly, and feel understood without having to trade “being strong.” My approach is client-centered and collaborative. That means we’ll work as partners to clearly identify what’s been getting in your way, what you want to be different, and what progress looks like in real, day-to-day life. Therapy with me is both compassionate and purposeful: we’ll focus on practical tools you can use immediately, while also addressing the deeper patterns that keep you feeling stuck. Whether you’re navigating panic, burnout, grief, relationship conflict, emotional numbness, or the lingering effects of painful experiences, our work will be tailored to your goals, and your values, at your pace. Our work will be intentional and focused but not rushed. I’m also an educational psychologist and a tenured college professor, which informs the way I teach skills, explain concepts, and track progress. Many clients appreciate having a clear plan; one that supports short-term, measurable outcomes (like improved sleep, steadier mood, reduced reactivity, and healthier communication) while building long-term well-being, resilience, and stronger relationships. In addition to my clinical work, I host Building Better Bonds, my relationship-focused podcast streaming on YouTube, where I translate the psychology of connection into practical insight for everyday life. If you’re ready for meaningful change and you want a therapist who will meet you where you are, with warmth, clarity, and direction, I’d be honored to support you.

Licensed therapists use evidence-based approaches to help individuals manage emotional challenges, develop coping skills, and work toward personal goals.

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.
