I am a licensed mental health counselor with a combined seven years of experience in the mental health field (including three years of clinical supervisory experience), where I have been providing care to clients in multiple agencies throughout the state of Florida, utilizing clinical models to improve patient care and drive positive clinical outcomes. I have worked with diverse client populations and multiple diagnoses (anxiety, depression, PTSD, bipolar disorders, etc.) throughout the years, including serving young children through older adults.
I’m a licensed therapist who creates warm, grounded, and compassionate spaces for clients to explore their inner world and reconnect with their authentic self. I work with adults navigating life transitions, relationship challenges, anxiety, and trauma—particularly those healing from patterns where they’ve abandoned their needs, voice, or self-worth.
My work blends modern psychotherapy with holistic tools, offering an integrative path toward healing. Whether you’re reconnecting with your intuition, working through emotional stuckness, or rebalancing after burnout or a major life shift, I meet you where you are—with care, curiosity, and respect.
If you've been in therapy before and felt like sessions were either too heavy or too surface-level, you might be looking for something different. I'm a bilingual English and Albanian-speaking Licensed Mental Health Counselor with more than 15 years of experience. I help people process past trauma and how it shapes day-to-day life, while working through current challenges at the same time. I keep sessions fun and informative while honoring the incredibly somber and difficult experiences you've had — and I hope to help you change the way you want to chang
At The Curious Cat Therapy, I work with tweens, teens, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, family challenges, and life transitions. I enjoy working with motivated clients who want to better understand themselves, build new skills, and create meaningful change. As a therapist, I offer a supportive approach that balances compassion with accountability. Together, we'll identify patterns, develop practical coping strategies, and work toward healthier ways of managing life's challenges. I bring authenticity, curiosity, and humor into therapy when appropriate, creating a space where growth feels both achievable and genuine.
You’re tired of explaining yourself. To doctors, to family, to people who mean well and still don’t get it. You’re the strong one, the responsible one, the person everyone leans on, and nobody sees what it’s costing you.
I’m Dr. Daniela De Medeiros, a clinical psychologist in Miami with over a decade of experience working with teens and adults from all walks of life. I work with people navigating anxiety, panic disorder, depression, ADHD, trauma, low self-esteem, grief, life transitions, identity, family conflict, relationship struggles, women’s issues, and the emotional weight of chronic illness and chronic pain.
I hold a doctoral degree in clinical psychology (Psy.D.) and a master’s in mental health counseling, with specialized training in health psychology. I’m also trilingual and conduct sessions in English, Portuguese, and Spanish.
Most people who find me are exhausted, a little unsure therapy will even help, and carrying more than they let anyone see. You don’t have to have it all figured out to start.
I’m a bilingual psychotherapist (English/Español) with extensive experience supporting individuals living with bipolar disorder, depression, and anxiety. I hold a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Johns Hopkins University and am credentialed as a Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC) and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in the state of Maryland and in Florida. In addition to my private practice, I work full-time as a Psychiatric Therapist at The Johns Hopkins Hospital, where I’ve spent years helping people manage mood disorders and find greater stability.
Living with bipolar disorder can feel like riding an unpredictable roller-coaster. Many of the clients I work with want to better understand their symptoms, spot early warning signs, and create daily routines that steady the mind and body. Others are navigating depression, anxiety, or the toll that mood changes can take on careers, caregiving roles, and relationships. If you’re ready to turn insight into action, sleep better, fuel your body, and nurture healthier connections, I’m here to guide you.
Hi, I’m Jessica—a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and big believer in the power of healing conversations.
I provide telehealth therapy across Florida, helping adults feel more connected, confident, and understood.
With a Master’s in Social Work and years of experience, I specialize in early childhood development, anxiety, depression, and eating disorders. Whether we’re untangling worries, building self-worth, or navigating tough transitions, I’m here to create a safe space where real growth can happen—at your pace and in your way.
My approach is solution-oriented and direct, but always collaborative. I'm not here to just listen and nod. I'm here to work with you toward change. I believe in naming things clearly, asking the hard questions, and building a plan you can actually use. As I tell my clients: if you're not changing it, you're choosing it. My job is to help you make that choice consciously, and to help you get where you're trying to go.
I specialize in anger management and mood regulation, problem-solving, depression, trauma and anxiety. I work well with clients who want a therapist who will challenge them as much as support them. Someone who brings structure and honesty to the room, without losing sight of compassion.
If you're ready to start building the version of yourself you actually want to be, I'd be glad to help you get there.
I believe therapy should be a space where you feel comfortable, heard, and supported. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), wife, and mother, I understand that life can be both rewarding and challenging. Through my own life experiences, I have gained insight into the complexities of relationships, family responsibilities, career demands, and personal growth. I work with adolescents, adults, and couples facing concerns such as anxiety, stress, grief, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. Clients often describe me as warm, approachable, and easy to talk to. My goal is to help you gain insight, develop practical tools, and move toward meaningful growth and healing while feeling supported every step of the way.
Growth isn't about having all the answers; it's about having a safe place to explore the questions. I provide specialized online therapy to help you better understand yourself, navigate life's challenges, and build practical tools for lasting change. For the past 13 years, I've helped high-achieving adults, including professionals in STEM, aviation, aerospace, healthcare, and analytical fields, manage anxiety, stress, burnout, relationship challenges, identity questions, and life transitions with greater confidence and clarity.
I welcome individuals from all backgrounds and have a special interest in working with LGBTQ+ and multicultural communities. My approach is warm, honest, and collaborative. Together, we'll identify what's getting in the way, build on your strengths, and work toward the goals that matter most to you using evidence-based strategies tailored to your unique needs.
As a licensed provider, I am proud to offer virtual sessions for clients located throughout Florida, Colorado, and South Carolina. Reach out today to schedule a consultation.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Gainesville
Searching for therapists in Gainesville starts with knowing what kind of support you want and which therapist background fits your needs. Gainesville therapists may list experience with concerns such as anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, and life transitions. As you compare options, look for therapists whose listed specialties, therapy style, and experience match what you want to focus on. Bios can also help you understand how a therapist works, what sessions may feel like, and whether their approach fits your preferences.
In a smaller city like Gainesville, local in-person therapy options may be more limited by neighborhood, schedule, and availability. Virtual therapy can expand your search across Florida while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in the state. When narrowing your options, consider whether the therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that fit your calendar, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you compare communication style, session structure, and areas of focus in one place.
Therapy in Gainesville can be a significant investment without insurance, and using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and choose from in-person or virtual appointments. You can browse therapists in Gainesville, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
