Who you are matters to me — and I mean that in the most specific way. Your story, your nervous system, your family history, your relationship with yourself. Not a diagnosis. Not a checklist. You.
I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 24 years of experience supporting people through anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, and the quiet weight of just not feeling like yourself anymore. I offer telehealth therapy across Pennsylvania and Florida, which means you can access support from wherever you are — no commute, no waiting room.
I began working in criminal justice before pursuing social work — and that dual lens gives me a broad way of understanding people and the systems that shape them. I've worked alongside people in crisis, in grief, in deeply stuck places. I know what it looks like when someone is carrying trauma they've never named, and I know how to sit with you in that without flinching. My style is warm, grounded, and genuinely down to earth.
I provide a comfortable and supportive environment in which we explore stressors, thought patterns and feelings that may be contributing to your challenges. Through a strong therapeutic relationship based on respect and empowerment, we will work together to resolve the challenges you are facing and to develop goals deemed most useful in moving you forward to a positive outcome.
Hi there! I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado and a Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC). My approach to psychotherapy is based in collaboration with clients. My goal is to assist you in identifying the underlying causes of your current, or long term, distress and/or to manage current symptoms. I firmly believe that each of us possesses an inherent potential for healing & growth.
Throughout my career, I have worked in a wide variety of treatment settings - ranging from highly acute residential to outpatient. These experiences have allowed me to develop a deep understanding of the nuances of addiction, eating disorders and co-occurring disorders.
Hello There!
My name is Magdala ( Maggie), and as a licensed Mental Health Counselor, I specialize in supporting children, adolescent, and young adults. I focus on emotional regulation, anxiety, stress management, depression, self-esteem, social skills, and disruptive behavior disorders.
I support client's individual needs by providing a safe, compassionate, judgement free space where you can feel acknowledged, listened to with attention, empathy, and respect.
I have experience working with a diverse range of clients, including their families in various settings.
On a personal note, I believe that self-care is essential for enjoying a comfortable, stress-free life. For me, that includes listening to music, spending time with family and friends, enjoying my favorite movies or tv shows, nature walks and traveling.
My goal is to help you achieve long-term well-being so that life can be more enjoyable.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Fort Walton Beach
Finding therapists in Fort Walton Beach starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. You may want help with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, or stress. As you compare therapists, look for training and listed specialties that match what you want to focus on. A therapist’s bio can also show whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, acceptance and commitment therapy, or trauma-informed care.
Fort Walton Beach has a smaller local therapist market, so virtual appointments can give you more options while still keeping care connected to Florida-licensed therapists. In-person sessions may work well if you prefer meeting in an office, while virtual sessions can fit more easily around work, school, caregiving, or travel across Okaloosa County. Beyond specialty, compare appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand each therapist’s communication style, session structure, and areas of focus.
Therapy in Fort Walton Beach can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower session costs and understand what you may pay before you begin. Headway helps you search therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, verify your coverage, view estimated out-of-pocket costs, and book directly when you’re ready.
