Dr. Robert Fowler

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 3.2 mi away • 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.

If you're carrying anxiety that won't quiet down, grief that hasn't had space to breathe, or the weight of holding your family together while losing yourself in the process, you're not alone. I've spent over 16 years working with adults and older adults, many walking into therapy for the first time after years of pushing through in silence. My clients describe me as warm, calm, and someone they can be honest with without feeling judged. Sessions available in English and Spanish. ¿Prefieres terapia en español? Bienvenida.

Therapy should not feel like you are sitting in a isolated room while the person is observing and providing minimal feedback. You need a therapist who is interested in your progress and willing to be completely honest with you. I'm Marcello Mora and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and I am certified in Modular Approach in Therapy with Children experiencing Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, and Conduct (MATCH-ADTC) behaviors. I have a Bachelors of Social Work and a Masters of Social Work from the University of Central Florida. I specialize working with children, adolescence, and young to middle age adults that experience depression, anxiety, life transitions, identity exploration, impulsivity, hyperactivity, and dissociation/inattention. My goal is to meet you where you are at and work together in navigating in any obstacles to achieve your aspirations.
