As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I utilize the person in environment mindset. You are so much more than your current circumstances. Life experiences, family, friends, and environment impact you as a whole person. Feeling anxious, trouble sleeping, relationship strains, and difficulty stepping into a new transition in your life can be overwhelming. I like to use the solutions-focused framework to help you utilize the tools that you already have in new ways.

I also hold an endorsement as a Certified Clinical Transplant Social Worker. This means that I have undergone additional training and experience working with the unique needs of medically complex transplant patients and their families. I aim to help clients through life transitions, anxiety, and women's health.

You don't have to have it all figured out to start. There is no right or wrong place to begin.

I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 25 years of experience working with children, adolescents, and adults. I'm also a Certified School Counselor — which means I've spent decades not just in therapy offices, but inside schools, alongside kids and families navigating the real, daily pressures of growing up, parenting, and finding your way.

That breadth of experience shapes everything about how I work. I understand what it looks like when anxiety shows up in a classroom, when ADHD affects a family's daily life, or when an eating disorder hides behind achievement. And I know how to create a space where children, teens, and adults alike feel safe enough to actually open up.

My name is Dr. Regina Clark, DSW, LCSW, and I work with children, teens, and adults who have experienced trauma and are ready to begin their healing journey. I specialize in trauma-informed care, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), solution-focused therapy, and play therapy for young children.

My practice is rooted in authenticity, empathy, and a genuine commitment to helping clients navigate life’s challenges while building resilience and emotional wellness.

I do this work because healing can be difficult, but you are not meant to walk through it alone. I believe growth, restoration, and healing are possible, and I am honored to support individuals and families as they move toward hope, balance, and lasting change.

Yessenia Aponte

Yessenia Aponte

Therapist

Virtual • Florida


Growing up in the Bronx as a first-generation Dominican American shaped how I think about mental health — and who I became as a therapist.

I'm Yesenia Aponte, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and psychotherapist. I've spent 8 years working with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and the specific weight of living between cultures. I work with clients from all backgrounds, but I have a particular connection to clients from immigrant families, Latinx communities, and anyone who's ever felt like a therapist didn't fully understand their world.

I got into this work because mental health support wasn't always visible or accessible in communities like the one I grew up in. Beyond my practice, I'm involved in community outreach and advocacy to make mental health less stigmatized and more reachable — especially for people who've been told it's not "for them."

I also offer therapy in both English and Spanish.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Brandon

Searching for therapists in Brandon starts with knowing what kind of support you want from therapy. People often look for help with anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, or major life changes. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties and training that match your needs. A therapist’s bio can also show how they structure sessions, which approaches they use, and what you can expect if you book.

Brandon has local therapy options, but the number of in-person appointments may vary by schedule, location, and specialty. Virtual therapy can expand your search across Florida while still letting you choose someone licensed to provide care in the state. To narrow your options, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, session format, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading profiles before booking can help you compare communication style, therapy approach, and areas of focus.

Therapy in Brandon can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your preferences, accept your insurance, and offer upfront cost estimates before you book. You can review therapist bios, compare virtual and in-person availability, and book directly when you’re ready.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
