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.

Congrats on choosing psychotherapy! I am an experienced and compassionate psychologist. I treat mood disorders, trauma and grief survivors, anxiety/depression issues, as well as eating disorders.

Oh yeah, some humor too. I truly enjoy people and I love helping them navigate their worlds. I welcome teens, adults, seniors, couples and families.

As a licensed therapist in Florida, I bring nearly two decades of compassionate clinical experience supporting individuals through personal experiences. My practice specializes in helping clients navigate stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, grief, and significant life transitions with empathy and guidance. My therapeutic approach is rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), helping clients identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. I integrate this with a compassionate, client -centered style that emphasizes healing emotional wounds, building self-love, and improving relationship patterns. Together we work to develop practical coping skills, increase self-awareness, and support clients in creating meaningful , lasting change.
