Therapist

Virtual • Florida


Hello, I'm Payne Whitfield, a mental health counselor providing compassionate, confidential online therapy. I work with adults navigating life transitions, anxiety, depression, stress, grief, and relationship challenges.

I believe therapy works best when you feel truly seen and heard without judgment. My goal is to create a safe, supportive virtual space where you can explore what’s weighing on you and build practical tools for change. With years of life experience and clinical training, I bring a calm, grounded, and collaborative presence to our sessions.

I welcome clients from all backgrounds and identities. Whether you're coming to therapy for the first time or returning after a break, I’ll meet you where you are and work at your pace.

Therapist

Virtual • Florida


It can be a struggle to keep it all together. Family or relationship conflicts, LGBTQ+ related issues, self-esteem, painful memories that you can't shake, or maybe just needing someone to talk to about things you can't imagine talking to anyone about. You're not alone. It's been a really difficult couple of years. I will help you explore in a safe and accepting space so that you can start to feel good again.


Imagine feeling more relief and alleviating the anxiety and fear that have become overwhelming. Together, we can lift painful thoughts and help you to gain tools and understandings that bring the light in again.

In working with me, you can have access to an approachable therapist that uses evidenced-based tools, but woven into a safe therapeutic relationship. I look forward to working together.
