Therapist

Virtual • Florida


Ashlee Lucarevski is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Boca Raton, Florida. She attained her Masters in Social Work from Florida Atlantic University, along with a certification in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Ashlee is also a doctoral candidate, who is currently working towards her Ph.d. in Clinical Sexology with a specialty in addictions. She is most skilled addressing issues related to anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, mood disorders, and substance abuse. Additionally she has a passion for helping the LGBT community and families manage the challenges that are often particular to this community such as: identity, self esteem issues, relationships challenges, fertility/adoption and family planning, as well as secondary issues that arise as a result of trauma. Ashlee is experienced in addressing challenges of both children and teens along with adults, by combining different theoretical perspectives in an attempt to aid individuals with gaining a deeper understanding of themselves.


Ashlee believes that the therapeutic process is one that is collaborative and recognizes the importance of a client's individuality. Therefore, while she utilizes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, along with Mindfulness and Motivational Interviewing Techniques to encourage change she also realizes that there is not a one size fits all approach. Ashlee is both committed and dedicated to helping others achieve the change that they desire.

Therapist

Virtual • Florida


Sometimes the way you learned to cope is no longer helping you live the life you want. You may turn to substances when emotions become overwhelming, find yourself reacting with anger you later regret, or feel trapped between anxiety, depression, and painful experiences from your past. These struggles can begin affecting your relationships, family, confidence, and ability to recognize yourself. I provide virtual individual and family therapy in English and Spanish for adolescents, adults, and seniors throughout Florida, with a focus on substance use and addiction, anxiety, depression, anger management, and trauma. I also support clients navigating family and relationship issues, PTSD, grief and loss, stress, major life transitions, women’s issues, maternal mental health, identity concerns, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, and eating disorders when these challenges intersect with the primary reasons they seek therapy. My goal is to help you understand what is keeping you stuck, reconnect with your strengths, and develop healthier ways to move forward.

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 Fort Myers

Searching for therapists in Fort Myers starts with finding someone whose experience matches what you want help with. Fort Myers therapists may support people living with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, trauma, or major life changes. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, therapy style, and background align with your needs. Their bio can help you understand how they work, what kinds of concerns they often support, and what you can expect in a first session.

In a smaller city like Fort Myers, local in-person availability may vary by neighborhood and schedule. Expanding your search to include virtual sessions can give you more options while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in Florida. You can also narrow your search by appointment times, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, therapy approach, and whether a free phone consultation is available. Reading profiles before you book can help you compare communication style, areas of focus, and session structure.

Therapy in Fort Myers can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your expected out-of-pocket cost before you book. Headway helps you find therapists who match your preferences, accept a wide range of insurance plans, and offer in-person or virtual appointments. You can browse therapists, review bios, check estimated costs, and book directly when you’re ready.
