Specializes in Addiction (not substance use), ADHD +16 moreThroughout life, we utilize tools we’ve learned along the way as coping methods. But what happens when these tools no longer work? How do we thrive and grow when our usual go-to solutions aren’t helping us? Or, even worse, are holding us back? I’m a licensed psychotherapist who believes strongly in the power to change our lives and achieve the outcomes we want. My personal and professional journeys have led me to work with others by combining experience, compassion, intuition, and training. My style is interactive; you are very much a part of the journey and our work is tailored to fit your needs. I typically utilize a blend of mindfulness and other evidence-based practices as well as creative strategies. I provide a nonjudgmental place to honor your truth and bring your thoughts and feelings.

When you can love, appreciate, and live peacefully inside yourself, your ability to connect with others and your true passions can support you in all the right ways.

Frequently asked questions about therapists in Florida
What matters for your care is that your therapist is licensed in the state where you live. To see an Octave therapist, you are matched with a clinician licensed in Florida, whether you meet online or in person. Some licenses fall under interstate agreements that let a therapist practice in more than one state, but you never have to sort that out yourself. Octave confirms every therapist is licensed to work with Florida residents before matching you.
To practice in Florida, a therapist must hold an active Florida license. That means completing a master's or doctoral degree in a mental health field, finishing thousands of hours of supervised clinical work, and passing a national or state licensing exam. Licenses are renewed on a schedule and require ongoing education. Every Octave therapist practicing in Florida holds a current Florida license, reviewed by our clinical team before they join.
Florida therapists practice under several license types, most commonly Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSW), Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists (LMFT), and Licensed Professional Counselors (LPC). You may also work with psychologists who hold a PhD or PsyD. All are qualified to provide talk therapy, and the right fit depends on what you want to work on more than the letters after their name. Octave works with licensed therapists across these credentials in Florida.
Yes. If your Octave therapist in Florida is not the right fit, you can switch at any time at no additional cost. Finding the right match matters more than getting it right on the first try, and it is common to need a session or two to know. Just let us know and we will help you find another licensed Florida therapist who suits your needs.
No. You do not need a diagnosis, a referral, or a specific reason to start therapy in Florida. Many people see a Florida therapist to work through stress, relationships, life changes, or feelings that are hard to name. Your therapist focuses on your goals and what you want to get out of care, not on putting a label on you.
Start with what you want to work on, then look for a Florida therapist whose experience and approach match. Practical fit counts too: whether they take your insurance, their availability, and whether you feel comfortable with them. With Octave, you answer a few questions during intake and get matched with a licensed Florida therapist who fits your needs, so you do not have to sort through directories on your own.
Look for an active Florida license, which confirms the therapist has met the education, training, and exam requirements to practice in Florida. Common credentials include LCSW, LMFT, and LPC, along with psychologists who hold a PhD or PsyD. Beyond the license, check that their experience lines up with what you want to work on. Every Octave therapist in Florida is licensed and reviewed for credentials, experience, and clinical approach before joining the platform.
In everyday use, "therapist" and "counselor" often mean the same thing: a trained professional who provides talk therapy. Both can be licensed to treat mental health concerns, and what matters most is their license, training, and experience, not the title they use. Octave connects you with licensed Florida therapists whose background fits what you are looking for.
A therapist provides talk therapy to help you work through thoughts, feelings, and behavior. A psychiatrist is a medical doctor who can diagnose conditions and prescribe medication. Some people work with both. Octave provides therapy in Florida, and if medication is something you want to explore, your therapist can talk it through with you and help coordinate care with an outside prescriber.
"Therapist" is a broad term for any licensed professional who provides talk therapy. A psychologist is one kind of therapist, someone with a doctoral degree (PhD or PsyD) who may also do psychological testing. Both provide therapy, and for most people the choice comes down to fit and experience rather than the specific degree. Octave works with licensed Florida therapists across these backgrounds.
The most important things are a valid Florida license, experience with what you want to work on, and an approach you feel comfortable with. Practical details matter too: whether they are in-network with your insurance, how soon they are available, and whether you connect with them in early sessions. Octave weighs these factors when matching you with a licensed Florida therapist, so you are paired with someone who fits both your needs and your schedule.
