Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Ocala, FL

Hello, I am Amanda Perez, a Licensed Professional Counselor specializing in issues such as trauma, women's issues, and anxiety. I am also certified in Accelerated Resolution Therapy for trauma work to reduce distress. I work with adults navigating life transitions, past wounds, and present-day challenges—helping them reclaim a sense of safety, strength, and self-trust.

On the outside, you may look like you have everything together. You work hard, provide for your family, and carry responsibilities well. Yet internally, you may feel overwhelmed, disconnected, anxious, angry, or caught in the same patterns despite your best efforts to change. My practice is built for people who are ready to move beyond simply talking about their problems. Together, we’ll identify the underlying beliefs, emotional patterns, and coping strategies that keep you feeling stuck. Therapy becomes a place to develop greater self-awareness, emotional resilience, healthier relationships, and lasting change.

Hello, and welcome. My name is Olivia Marino, LMHC, and I have been a licensed mental health counselor for over nine years. I earned my Master of Science degree from Florida State University in 2012 and have experience working with clients of all ages.

I specialize in helping individuals navigate anxiety, depression, daily life stressors, and family conflicts. My approach to therapy is client-centered, affirming, creative, and focused on problem-solving. I believe that every person has unique strengths, and I work collaboratively with clients to identify practical solutions while fostering personal growth and resilience.

Clients can expect a warm, welcoming, and supportive environment where they feel heard, respected, and understood. I meet clients where they are and tailor treatment to their individual needs, goals, and pace. Together, we will work toward meaningful change in a way that feels comfortable and empowering for you.

Whether you are facing a specific challenge or simply looking for support during a difficult time, I am committed to helping you build the tools and confidence needed to move forward and achieve your goals.

I am a licensed clinical social worker with 28 years of experience partnering with adolescents, adults of all ages and families. I am bilingual so I offer therapy in english and spanish.

Hi and welcome!

I help ambitious adults who feel plateaued or stuck in their work, relationships, healing or personal growth. On the surface life may look solid, yet anxiety lingers, relationships feel strained, or old patterns keep showing up when they try to move forward in their work, relationships, or personal growth. You understand yourself intellectually, but the deeper patterns still feel outside your control. Often the coping strategies that once propelled you forward are now the very things holding you back. You may even know exactly what needs to change, yet still find yourself repeating the same reactions when pressure rises.

Hi, I’m Ingrid. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Florida with over 32 years of Social Work experience. I earned my BSW from Auburn University and my MSW from Troy University. I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside individuals as they navigate some of life’s most challenging and transformative seasons.

You may be feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, especially if you’ve experienced trauma, toxic relationships, or emotional pain that keeps resurfacing. It can feel overwhelming trying to move forward while still carrying the weight of the past. You don’t have to do this alone. I provide a supportive space where you can begin to understand your story, break free from old patterns, and move toward a more peaceful, meaningful, and purpose-driven life.

Life can feel overwhelming when anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, or substance use challenges begin affecting your relationships, daily functioning, and overall well-being. You may feel emotionally exhausted, disconnected from yourself, struggling to cope with painful experiences, or unsure how to move forward. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, grief and loss, substance use concerns, stress management challenges, ADHD, anger management issues, cultural and ethnic identity concerns, and major life transitions. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve them or overwhelmed by life's demands. Together, we'll create a supportive and nonjudgmental space where you can openly explore your experiences, identify your strengths, and develop healthier ways of coping. My goal is to help you gain insight, build resilience, and create meaningful changes that support healing, emotional wellness, and long-term personal growth.
