Do you feel abandoned by those you love? Do you feel overwhelmed by feelings of dread due to past trauma? Are you consumed by shame? Is living for you a never ending feeling of worthlessness? How many times have you felt you don't belong, even within your own family or circle of friends? Once is too much and I can help. Divorce, loneliness doesn't have to be your future. Nor do anger issues, anxiety or depression. You deserve to have self-worth and a positive tomorrow. Feel free to reach out to me. You are not alone.

Let us discover, together, new ways to look at change. My focus and passion is to help you reclaim your joy and peace. Marriages can be saved. Nightmares can stop and negative thoughts don't have to win. Our goal will be to find lasting solutions that work for you in your every day life.

Aurelio received his Graduate Degree in Clinical Social Work from the University of Central Florida in Orlando. He is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker as well as a Qualified Supervisor for the State of Florida, and Internationally Certified Interventionist.

“My counseling style has developed over time to become one that does not spend time dredging up the past or spending time talking about the past session after session. This approach focuses on finding solutions for today and the future and keeps you on your new path while discouraging looking back because you are not going that way”.

Shakyra Lawson

Therapist

Virtual • Florida


Becoming a licensed clinical social worker has always been a career goal. Growing up, I constantly advocated for vulnerable populations and had a deep understanding of people’s emotions. As the oldest child and daughter, understanding family dynamics, worldviews, and individual experiences came naturally. In my career, I’ve provided psychotherapy to court-ordered parents working to reunite with their children, teens in a school setting as a behavioral health therapist, and millennial individuals as a primary therapist. As a first-generation college graduate, an entrepreneur, and a businesswoman, I also understand the challenges that come with starting something from scratch and learning as you go. Sometimes, you need to speak with a relatable yet unbiased party to process your thoughts and feelings about everyday stressors that you may not feel comfortable sharing openly. I use evidence-based practices and unconventional interventions to reach clients where they are.

Therapy for all. High-Functioning Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, and Relationship Stress.

Are you struggling behind the smile you show to the world? Are handling your responsibilities, showing up for others, and getting things done, but internally dealing with overthinking, stress, frustration, or feeling stuck?

Do you feel pressured to figure things out alone, not talk about emotions, and keep pushing forward?

I work with those who are tired of overthinking everything, avoiding difficult conversations, anxious, depressed, or feeling like they’re not moving forward in life.

Many of my clients deal with anxiety, ADHD, relationship stress, or burnout, but it shows up as procrastination, anger, shutting down, irritability, isolation, or feeling mentally drained.

If that sounds familiar, you’re not the only one, and you don’t have to keep handling it the same way.

I have been a social worker/therapist for 20+ years. I received my Masters degree at the University of Buffalo, in Upstate New York. I work with clients experiencing depression and anxiety. Together, we explore how thoughts influence feelings and how feelings shape behaviors. When patterns become unhelpful, they can interfere with relationships, work, and overall well-being. I help clients build insight and practical tools to create healthier, more empowering ways of responding to life's challenges.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right couples therapist for you

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

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Couples Therapist in Lakeland, FL

Finding couples therapists in Lakeland starts with naming what you want to work on together. Couples therapy, marriage counseling in Lakeland, FL, and relationship counseling may support concerns like communication patterns, recurring conflict, trust after infidelity, major life changes, or parenting disagreements. Look for a therapist whose training matches your needs, since not all therapists have specific couples training. Licensed marriage and family therapists, as well as therapists trained in the Gottman Method or emotionally focused therapy, may be especially relevant.

In a smaller city like Lakeland, local appointment options may vary by schedule, office location, and specialty. Virtual sessions can expand your options while still letting you choose a Lakeland therapist or a therapist licensed in Florida. Since couples counseling needs to work for both partners, compare appointment times, session format, and whether a therapist offers a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios can also help you understand how they structure couples sessions, communicate with both partners, and approach relationship concerns.

Therapy in Lakeland can be a significant expense without insurance, and using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find therapists who offer couples counseling in Lakeland and are accepting new patients. Nationally, Headway partners with a wide range of insurance plans, and you can enter your insurance details to confirm coverage for your specific plan before booking. You can enter your insurance details to see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, then review profiles, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
