It takes courage to admit that your life is not fulfilling and that you are not happy with your life. And even more courage to take the first steps towards making a change. If you are ready to take those steps I am here to support and empower you on your journey. My counseling style is interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in labels. My approach is eclectic in that I combine various techniques to meet the client where they are. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. I am a licensed mental health counselor in the State of Florida. I have over 10 years of experience working as a therapist in a variety of different environments. I have worked with clients suffering from a wide range of concerns including but not limited to depression, anxiety and ADHD. I have also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma, sexual trauma or emotional abuse. I like to use mindfulness based practices to increase a personal awareness, cultivate compassion, build resiliency and help you to stay grounded in the present moment. I look forward to working with you!

Hello, My name is Waynette Speakman. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in the state of Florida and I am also a National Certified Counselor (NCC) and a Certified Clinical Mental Health Counselor (CCMHC) through the National Board of Certified Counselors. I am also a Board Certified -TeleMental Health Provider (BC-THP). I graduated from the University of South Florida in 2007 with a Master's in Counseling. I primarily work from an Adlerian counseling perspective as it utilizes psychodynamic, cognitive, and behavioral techniques. I incorporate cognitive and behavioral strategies into counseling to facilitate goal-directed positive behaviors, while also taking into account past history, birth order and family dynamics. Adlerian therapy is goal directed and future focused, therefore we will not spend too much time on past history, rather add it to the other pieces to create the best possible picture. I will integrate solution-focused strategies and motivational interviewing techniques to encourage problem solving from a positive goal oriented perspective. I am really excited to meet you and start working with you.

11/28/25 It is winter in the mountains. I have turned off video scheduling availability. If you want video please just let me know. I am into frequent power outage season and video is not always a possibility. I am a licensed clinical social worker and certified trauma professional. I graduated from the University of Central Florida with a BSW in social work, a certificate in Addictions, and an Master's in clinical social work. I have worked with clients experiencing anxiety, panic attacks, agoraphobia, borderline personality disorder and depression; clients with a history of physical and psychological abuse, self harm, sexual abuse, and other traumas. I utilize a combination of traditional talk therapy, education on how trauma affects our brains, and implementation of practical tools and action steps to achieve the changes you want to make in your life. I believe talk therapy is helpful but that it takes action to reprogram your brain's reactions to triggers. Most clients I have worked with who are experiencing any form of anxiety believe they are crazy. I assure you it is not crazy. Your brain is meant to function in the way it does to protect you. I also wholeheartedly believe physical and mental health are intertwined. I will ask you to experiment with new techniques and reactions to triggers and difficult relationships. I provide the knowledge of tools and techniques but you are the expert on you. Generally, I start with getting to know you and what you want to work on. We move into education on your specific diagnoses and on brain function and how we can reprogram. We begin taking small steps using tools I will teach you. All I need is for you to be willing to experiment with new techniques and reactions to difficult situations and people, and to let me know if the specific technique does not work for you so we can try another. Those steps have been as small as having clients who experience agoraphobia sit in a different room for 5 minutes, simple but not easy. I will also focus on your physical health and activity level. There is much research that shows some type of physical activity is helpful. I myself have experienced this. I am a hiker, a former activity leader for the Florida Trail, and wilderness first aid certified. I hike, when I am inactive I definitely experience mood changes. If hiking is not your thing that is okay. We will find something that works for you. 10/01/25 If you have requested to work with me.. I am not refusing you. For whatever reason I receive the message and then clients are removed before I have 10 minutes to respond. Most recent disappeared in 6 minutes while I was reading the client info.

As a Florida Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist with over 10 years of experience, I work online using evidence-based models of therapy that get results. I help clients with issues of anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, trauma-related issues, goal-setting and performance hurdles, and other areas of self-empowerment. My mission is to empower you to manage and become an overcomer of the obstacles and "stuckness" caused by these issues, so that you can start accomplishing your goals, begin feeling fulfilled, to confidently step out of the shadows and fears caused by past traumatic events by taking back the reins of control into your life, and to start living a life of fulfillment, peace, balance, and strength! Let me accompany you on your journey of rediscovering and re-establishing your strengths, and help you become equipped with the tools you need to become better problem solvers. It’s not easy to decide on which therapist may be best for you, but I’m hoping you will take a leap of faith and allow you and I the chance to work together. I’m looking forward to meeting you soon and to helping you accomplish your goals!

Greetings, my name is Linda Losi. I am a graduate of Barry University in 1996. I am also a retired Registered Nurse.

I work collaboratively with my clients using various modalities of treatment such as, "Solution Focused", Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic, Heart Centered Hypnotherapy, Mindfulness, etc...

There's laughter, tears and yes, even pleasant memories to be had. Welcome to my judgment free zone. Be ready to work, change ONLY comes with action. So, come and gain insight and judgment that you ALREADY possess in an open and transparent environment. EVERYONE is welcome! 😊☮️
