More about Joy
- 10 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I am a Clinical Social Worker licensed in the state of Florida with over 10 years of varying degrees of counseling experience. This includes educational settings, community mental health agencies and as an independent contractor in private practice. These experiences have provided me with opportunities to help individuals and families from all walks of life. My expertise includes: grief and loss, life changes, women's issues/empowerment, relationship issues, family and parenting issues, anxiety, teen issues and career guidance.
Most people find me warm, friendly and a very good listener. However I am always mindful of why you are wanting help. I will help you clarify and set boundaries and goals. I will hold you accountable and identify any roadblocks from preventing you to achieve your goals. I am down to earth and easy to talk to. I may not understand exactly how you are feeling but I certainly try so I can help you to the best of my ability.
In most instances, I practice theories that will help individuals process emotions and create thoughts and alternatives that make their day to day living productive and satisfying. I am effective in this modality, because I am empathic, sensitive and nurturing. My approach is to provide you with opportunities to explore and work through resolutions to life's tough dilemmas. Ultimately, my hope is that you awaken your greatest resource, YOU!
My graduate degree in Social Work has equipped me to provide mental health support through various modalities. These include advanced training and/or certification in TF-CBT, Mindfulness Theory, Solution Focused Therapy and EFT – Tapping.
My Doctorate Degree in Leadership has equipped me with the skills to provide coaching and career guidance. I am able to integrate these with my mental health training, to help you get “unstuck” in these life changing dilemmas.
Finally, I have specialty training and a graduate certificate in Loss and Healing. With this, I have volunteered with Hospice and completed some hours in their Pastoral Care program towards becoming a chaplain. My interest in the experience of loss is not limited to death, but also includes the loss of relationships, career, etc.
I was born and raised in Florida. In my spare time I enjoy reading and travel. Like most, I too have experienced many of life's challenges such as divorce, death of a parent , family conflict, career instability, weight issues, etc., to name a few.
I commend you for taking this important first step. It would be my honor to take the journey with you.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
