Therapist

Virtual • Florida


Ashlee Lucarevski is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Boca Raton, Florida. She attained her Masters in Social Work from Florida Atlantic University, along with a certification in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Ashlee is also a doctoral candidate, who is currently working towards her Ph.d. in Clinical Sexology with a specialty in addictions. She is most skilled addressing issues related to anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, mood disorders, and substance abuse. Additionally she has a passion for helping the LGBT community and families manage the challenges that are often particular to this community such as: identity, self esteem issues, relationships challenges, fertility/adoption and family planning, as well as secondary issues that arise as a result of trauma. Ashlee is experienced in addressing challenges of both children and teens along with adults, by combining different theoretical perspectives in an attempt to aid individuals with gaining a deeper understanding of themselves.


Ashlee believes that the therapeutic process is one that is collaborative and recognizes the importance of a client's individuality. Therefore, while she utilizes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, along with Mindfulness and Motivational Interviewing Techniques to encourage change she also realizes that there is not a one size fits all approach. Ashlee is both committed and dedicated to helping others achieve the change that they desire.

This is your journey - you’re driving, I’m sitting in the passenger seat to provide some direction when needed. Therapy is whatever you want it to be and I’m here for it! It’s not about my agenda or what I think you should work on. Just showing up for a session in an authentic way is productive. I have experience working in both inpatient and outpatient settings with individuals from a wide variety of backgrounds with a wide variety of issues including anxiety, mood disorders, personality disorders, and psychosis as well as interpersonal and relationship issues.

Brent Schultz

Brent Schultz

Therapist

Virtual • Florida


With more than fifteen years of experience in behavioral health, my work is shaped by a deep commitment to helping individuals feel understood, supported, and empowered. My education and early training focused on counseling, addiction treatment, and behavioral health assessment, and I spent many years providing individual, group, and family therapy across detox, residential, and outpatient settings. I’ve worked closely with adults navigating substance use, trauma, anxiety, depression, anger or impulse concerns, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and relationship or family challenges. I’ve also supported LGBTQ+ clients, justice‐involved individuals, and those managing chronic mental illness or complex psychosocial stressors.

In addition to my clinical work, I’ve spent more than a decade in behavioral health utilization management, leading teams that ensure clients receive appropriate, timely, and effective care. This blend of direct therapeutic experience and system‐level leadership gives me a unique perspective: I understand both the personal and structural challenges people face when seeking help. Clients can expect a grounded, compassionate, and collaborative approach—one that honors their story, builds on their strengths, and supports meaningful, sustainable growth.
