Therapists in Lake City, FL
The atmosphere is typically warm and sunny in Lakeland, and this isn't simply due to the weather.

I am a psychotherapist/mental health counselor licensed in the state of Florida with over 30 years of experience working in a community mental health setting. While I do not provide counseling anymore in my current professional capacity, I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns particularly those with severe mental illness including those with depression, anxiety, relationship problems, addiction, thought process disturbances, and affective/mood problems. On a limited basis, I also helped individuals who experienced emotional abuse. My counseling work is through the community mental health agency for which I work which I integrated in my administrative capacity to enhance my clinical expertise. I am an eclectic counselor who conducts my assessment from a psychodynamic/psychoanalytic and social learning perspective. My counseling approach is direct and interactive that combines cognitive-behavioral, social learning, motivational interviewing, solution-focused, and rational-emotive approaches. It is my belief that you have the solutions within you to overcome the challenges that you are facing, and I am here to guide you and uncover your inner strength. It does take courage to reach out for help in your search for a more fulfilling and happier life, and an even stronger courage to take the first step towards a change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support you in your journey. I begin to see subscribers in the evenings and prefer that you evaluate your schedule and examine my published schedule here and schedule a session that best fits your availability. I will also try and accommodate your schedule if you will be so kind enough to let me know. I look forward to work with you.

Hello! I’m glad you’re taking the time to read about me and hope we might be a “fit” in your journey to find a therapist. Taking this first step can be scary and finding a person you trust and connect with is vital. You are fortunate to have many options available - take your time, read many profiles, and reach out if you have any questions after reading my overview. As a Florida Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I have been providing individual and couples therapy for over 25 years. My career has taken me from the VA Medical system, to community work, to private practice. Along the way, I’ve gained experience assisting people in the areas of depression, anxiety, relationship problems, career transitions, and other life challenges. When life is spinning out of control, talking things out with an experienced therapist can help you find your way again. I enjoy working with people to manage the moods and anxieties that accompany all life transitions, including relationship change, employment shifts, and family adjustments. I have spent many years specializing in the needs of women and the changes that take place during the perinatal and postpartum period. As both a therapist and a mom to three, I personally recognize the joys and challenges that come with the journey to parenthood, special needs children, and the teenage years! During therapy, I take an eclectic, but client-centered approach. This means that therapy will be tailored to you – your individual history, beliefs, concerns, and strengths. This may involve using solution-focused therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, or any integrative approach to explore your emotions and work toward mutually agreed upon therapy goals. Together, I believe we can develop strategies to help you lead a more fulfilling life and I hope you believe the same. If not, please keep looking – it will be worth it! I look forward to meeting you!

Hello my name is Kristin Rinehart. I am excited to offer counseling through BetterHelp because it gives access to counseling in different ways that traditional counseling does not. Reaching out for help for your health and wellness is so important and can be difficult to do for the first time. Good job for considering putting time into your self. Just a little about me: I obtained my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Otterbein College and Master of Social Work degree from The University of Pittsburgh. I have been a licensed independent social worker for 30 years. I am licensed in the state of Florida, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. I am passionate about treating clients of all ages struggling with trauma, anxiety, depression, stress management and life transitions. I find helping others achieve peace and happiness to be the most rewarding part of the social work profession. I have worked in settings such as community mental health, crisis residential treatment, crisis intervention, school based counseling and integrated behavioral health in a Federally Qualified Health Center. My therapy style includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Time Line Therapy, Strength and Faith based approaches. I believe the most important aspect of a therapeutic relationship is for my clients to know they have someone on their team encouraging them to move beyond the past, live in the present while working toward reaching goals for the future. I am available for messaging, live chat and phone appointments at this time. I prefer to schedule directly with my clients so they get the appointment day and time that works best for their schedule. Video is provided as requested.
