I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in New Jersey with over a decade of experience working with individuals, couples, and families. I earned my Master's and Ed.M. degrees in Psychological Counseling from Columbia University and have worked in private practice, crisis intervention, substance use treatment, and community mental health settings.
I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, marriage, family & relationship challenges, life transitions, substance use disorders, grief, ADHD, and neurodivergence. My goal is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients can gain insight, develop practical coping skills, and create meaningful, lasting change.
I believe therapy should be collaborative, empowering, and tailored to your unique needs. Whether you're navigating a difficult season of life or seeking personal growth, I am committed to helping you move toward greater clarity, resilience, and emotional well-being.
I graduated from The Ohio State University with my DNP in 2020 focusing on efficient pathways to implement depression screening post-stroke to identify mental health needs. After working a couple years as a nurse practitioner within neurosurgery, I transitioned from Ohio to Florida and pursued my PMHNP certification from Florida State University. Over the past 5 years I have been treating psychiatric needs in LTC around Florida. I am currently working to expand into independent practice and work personally with individuals creating a therapeutic relationship and enhancing their mental health.
Hello, I’m Abby Pease, LCSW, QS! As a therapist, I strive to create a safe and welcoming space where clients feel truly seen and supported. I bring warmth, energy, and a touch of humor into my work, helping clients navigate challenges while also reminding them that healing doesn’t always have to be heavy. My goal is to walk alongside you with compassion and clarity as you move toward growth and resilience.
I’m a board‐certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner providing compassionate, evidence‐based care for adults. I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, and ADHD. I offer services in English and Spanish to support clients who feel most comfortable in either language. My style is warm, respectful, and culturally sensitive.
I started my career in New York City then moved my practice to the sunny state of Florida. My experience over the past 15 years is working with adults navigating everything from everyday stress to deeper emotional wounds. Life gets complicated sometimes, but you don't have to do it alone! Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside people through their most vulnerable moments—and watching them rediscover their strength, gain clarity and build confidence.
Sometimes the thing you are most afraid to look at is the exact thing that sets you free. I am Marie, an LMHC, National Certified Counselor, and Qualified Supervisor with more than 20 years of clinical experience working with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families across Florida. I specialize in anxiety, substance use and recovery, anger management, trauma, bipolar disorder, and the relationship patterns that keep people cycling through the same pain. For clients who want it, I also offer faith-integrated counseling that weaves Christian values into the therapeutic process without judgment.
Are you feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, struggling with depression, or carrying the impact of past trauma into your relationships and daily life? You may feel stuck in patterns that are hard to break, disconnected from yourself or others, or unsure how to move forward. I work with individuals across Florida who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship challenges. Together, we create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can process your experiences, build insight, and develop tools to feel more grounded, connected, and in control of your life.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Family Therapist in Lakeland
Searching for family therapists in Lakeland starts with finding someone who understands family relationships, not just individual concerns. Family therapy can support people navigating parenting conflict, adolescent struggles, blended family dynamics, communication challenges, and relationship strain across generations. Look for a therapist whose profile lists experience with family counseling, marriage and family therapy, or related approaches. Licensed marriage and family therapists and other therapists with family systems training focus on how patterns, roles, and communication shape the full family unit.
In a smaller city like Lakeland, the number of nearby family therapists may be more limited than in larger Florida markets, so virtual care can expand your options while keeping local in-person sessions available when they fit. Family therapy may include the full family, caregivers and children, couples, siblings, or individual family members at different points in care. Before booking, review therapist bios for appointment availability, session structure, therapeutic approach, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. These details can help you understand how a therapist works with families and whether their style matches what you want from care.
Therapy in Lakeland can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing support easier to plan for. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and choose between virtual and in-person availability. You can browse family therapists in Lakeland, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
