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.

Sometimes what looks like anger, anxiety, or “just being stressed” is really the result of carrying too much for too long. You may feel constantly on edge, overwhelmed by emotions, stuck in patterns you do not fully understand, or affected by experiences from the past that still show up in everyday life. I provide virtual individual therapy for adolescents and adults throughout Florida, with a focus on anxiety, stress management, anger management, trauma, and PTSD. I also support clients navigating depression and ADHD when those concerns are contributing to difficulties at school, work, home, or in relationships. I became a mental health counselor after recognizing how many people were trying to manage difficult experiences without the support or guidance they needed. That perspective still shapes my work today. My goal is to create a warm, nonjudgmental space where you can understand what is getting in the way, recognize your strengths, and begin moving toward the person you want to be.

I believe healing starts with feeling seen, heard, and understood. As a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor and bilingual psychotherapist, I provide virtual therapy in English and Spanish for young adults and adults.

I specialize in helping individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, childhood trauma, and narcissistic abuse. I am especially passionate about supporting cycle breakers—people who are ready to heal and release painful, unhelpful patterns, understand how the past continues to affect them, and create a healthier future for themselves and the generations that follow.

Hi, I’m Jheanelle Bailey, a dual board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and Family Nurse Practitioner with more than 17 years caring for people affected by cancer. My background spans pediatric and adult oncology, chemotherapy infusion, and inpatient and outpatient cancer care — so I understand the emotional weight a diagnosis can carry, for patients, survivors, caregivers, and families alike.

Supporting people through cancer is my passion, and I also care for adults navigating anxiety, depression, stress, grief, and life transitions. My approach is compassionate and evidence-based — including medication management and brief therapy — in a judgment-free space where you feel heard, understood, and genuinely supported.

If you’ve been carrying anxiety, relationship struggles, family conflict, or simply feeling like life has become harder to navigate, you don’t have to figure it all out on your own. Thank you for considering me as your therapist. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 10 years of counseling experience and a Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Counseling from New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary. I work with adults facing anxiety, relationship and family challenges, self-esteem concerns, grief, women’s issues, and the unique challenges that can come with aging and geriatric care. I also offer Christian counseling for clients who want their faith to be part of their therapeutic experience. Whatever brings you to counseling, my goal is to understand what you need and help you move toward meaningful change.

If you've found your way here, chances are you're carrying something heavy. Maybe anxiety that won't quiet down, grief that reshaped your world, the exhaustion of new motherhood, or a quiet sense that you've lost track of who you are. Whatever it is, I want you to know you don't have to hold it alone anymore.

I became a therapist because I believe every person's story matters, and because I've seen what happens when someone finally feels safe enough to tell theirs. That's the part of this work I love most: watching people move from stuck and overwhelmed to grounded and free. I bring warmth and empathy to every session, but I'll also be honest with you. My clients often tell me they feel truly heard for the first time, and that's exactly what I'm hoping to give you.

I especially love working with people navigating identity, maternal mental health, grief and loss, cultural and ethnic experiences, and anxiety. I bring a culturally sensitive lens to all of it, because your background, your faith, and your family are part of your story too — not something to leave at the door.
