Ashlie Larimore

Therapist

Virtual • Jacksonville, FL


Hi, I’m Ashlie Larimore, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida. I earned my master’s degree in counseling from Troy University and have spent several years working with children, teens, and adults in both outpatient settings and inpatient crisis care.

Because of my background, I’m comfortable supporting people through everything from everyday stress and overwhelm to life’s heavier moments. I especially enjoy working with individuals navigating anxiety, emotional regulation, ADHD concerns, life transitions, grief, and family or relationship challenges.

I believe therapy should feel supportive, safe, and real - not awkward, intimidating, or overly formal. You don’t need to have the “right words” or a clear plan when you start. Showing up is enough.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Port Charlotte

Searching for therapists in Port Charlotte starts with finding someone whose training fits what you want support with. People often look for therapy care in Port Charlotte for anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, life transitions, or stress. As you compare therapists, look for specialties and approaches that match your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, family therapy, or couples counseling. A therapist’s profile can help you understand who they work with, what concerns they focus on, and what sessions may be like.

In a smaller city like Port Charlotte, local appointment options may be more limited than in larger Florida markets. Virtual therapy can expand your choices while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in Florida. As you narrow your search, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist offers in-person or virtual sessions, and whether a free phone consultation is available. Reading bios before booking can also help you compare communication style, background, and approach across therapists, counselors, psychologists, and other licensed mental health professionals.

Therapy in Port Charlotte can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your session costs and make care easier to plan for. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, verify your benefits, and see an estimated cost before you book. You can browse therapists in Port Charlotte, review profiles, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.

If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
