Therapist

Hi, I’m Jenna, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor offering an affirming, judgment-free space for adults who want to understand themselves a little better and build a life that actually feels like their own.

I specialize in trauma and grief, helping people make sense of experiences that have changed them, navigate loss in all its forms, and find a way forward without feeling like they have to erase or “get over” what happened.

I especially enjoy working with LGBTQ+ clients, creatives, healthcare professionals, and people navigating anxiety, depression, relationships, identity, self-worth, and life transitions. I have a particular interest in supporting healthcare professionals who carry the emotional weight of caring for others, process difficult or traumatic experiences, cope with loss, or try to reconnect with themselves after burnout.

Welcome! If insight alone could cure anxiety or depression, you would already be healed. Analyzing the problem hasn't stopped the loops of "what if" thinking or the exhaustion of holding it all together. I offer specialized, individualized, and deeply effective telehealth treatment for anxiety, depression, and related life challenges. In our relaxed, warm, and casual sessions, you will learn practical "anxiety hacks" for immediate relief while we work together on long-term behavioral change. Backed by over two decades of clinical experience, my goal is for you to leave every session feeling heard, supported, and genuinely closer to reaching your goals.

"Support for the woman who constantly cares for others. If you feel overwhelmed and stretched thin, I’m here to help you regain your balance and well-being."

My calling to this work comes from my own experience of holding everything in, carrying the weight of caring for others, and hiding my own exhaustion. For a long time, I understood what it meant to keep going even when I needed a break, to put others' needs before my own, and to believe I had to handle everything on my own.

Through my own growth and continued practice, I have learned the importance of self-care, self-compassion, and giving myself permission to slow down. I've learned that asking for help is not a sign of weakness, and that taking a break does not mean I'm falling behind.

These experiences have deepened my passion for helping other women who find themselves caught in the same cycle of giving, doing, and carrying-while quietly putting their own needs last. I believe you can care deeply for the people you love without losing yourself in the process.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Panama City Beach, FL


With over 10 years of experience as a licensed clinical social worker, I’ve supported individuals through some of the most challenging moments in their lives—including anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and substance use.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to start, you’re not alone. I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where we can work through what’s going on and begin finding a path forward that feels realistic and manageable.

My background in healthcare settings has given me experience working with both mental health and medical challenges, allowing me to take a more holistic view of what you’re going through.

Life can feel overwhelming when you are carrying anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship stress, identity-related challenges, or the pressure of trying to navigate the expectations of others while remaining true to yourself. Therapy offers a space to slow down, process your experiences, and build healthier ways of coping and moving forward. You do not have to face these challenges alone.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I am committed to creating a compassionate, affirming, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel safe being fully themselves.

I work with individuals from diverse backgrounds, including members of the LGBTQ+ community, and understand the importance of feeling seen, respected, and supported throughout the therapeutic process.

I earned my Master’s degree in Social Work from Florida State University and my Bachelor’s degree in Sociology with a minor in Women’s Studies from University of Florida, graduating cum laude from both programs.

My professional and personal experiences have strengthened my passion for advocacy, inclusivity, and empowering others to embrace their individuality and resilience. I believe healing begins with connection, authenticity, and self-acceptance. Reaching out for support can feel difficult, but it is also a powerful first step toward growth and healing. My goal is to help clients feel empowered, understood, and supported as they work toward becoming the healthiest and most authentic version of themselves.

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.
