I want to share that I was very fortunate to work with Ms. Michelle Hernandez during the time I am going through a painful separation from my wife. During my sessions with Michelle, she empathized a lot with my situation and listened to my experiences without any judgement. Michelle also gave me some good quality worksheets and exercises that helped me learn more about myself and use this information to be a better person.

- LCSW
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Florida and Tennessee. I have over twenty years of experience in the field of social work and 8 years as a licensed clinician. I have provided clinical services to individuals of all ages presenting with a variety of issues, including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship and family issues.
As a Florida native I have gained an appreciation for the diverse cultural population within our community. I also lived abroad immersing myself in multiple cultures. With these experiences I have developed cultural competence in which I have the ability to understand, communicate with and effectively interact with people across cultures.
I am well versed in several counseling techniques with an emphasis in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, and have a compassionate approachable demeanor.
A top priority for me is to meet you where you are and calibrate treatment and my approach too what will work best for us as we work together to meet your goals.
It takes a lot of strength and will power to work towards a more fulfilling life. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower 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.
