Francesca Thomas

Therapist

Virtual • Florida


I've spent over 21 years helping people navigate some of life's toughest situations — substance use, trauma, domestic violence, anger, and the kind of challenges that make it hard to see a way forward. I spent the last decade working in court-ordered programs with clients who didn't choose to be in therapy, and I got them to stay. First thing I tell every client: I am your advocate. I'm real, I'm relatable, and yes, I will make you laugh! I'm a seasoned Black woman from New York City, and my NYC energy definitely comes through. Clients describe me as someone who can break through that wall of resistance many people walk in with and I'm proud of that.

Therapist

Virtual • Florida


I’m not your typical therapist—and I don’t try to be. I’m warm, honest, and believe a little humor belongs in therapy when it fits. I specialize in helping adults navigate trauma, anxiety, ADHD, relationship challenges, and identity, especially when old patterns leave you feeling stuck or disconnected from yourself. My goal is to create a space that feels less clinical and more like a grounded, genuine conversation where you can reconnect with yourself, heal, and make room for more joy and ease.

Therapist

Virtual • Florida


Hey, I'm Tony an LCSW based in Florida with a background that spans matters of faith, youth counseling, marital and pre-marital counseling, military family and individual support, suicide prevention advocacy, and substance abuse treatment. I've sat across from people in some of life's most difficult moments, and what I've learned is that most people aren't broken they're carrying a lot, often without enough support. I specialize in working with individuals and couples navigating relationships, substance use, and the everyday weight of life that doesn't always have a name. Whether you're trying to find your footing after a hard season, repair something important, or just finally make space to talk through what's been building up - I'm here for that.

Sometimes life reaches a point where it feels harder than it should. You may be carrying anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, or the effects of substance use. Maybe you've been putting everyone else's needs first, or you've been trying to manage everything on your own. Whatever you're carrying, you don't have to carry it alone.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I provide a compassionate, supportive, and judgment-free space where you can slow down, feel heard, and begin making sense of what you're experiencing. Clients often describe me as genuine, easy to talk to, and deeply supportive. My goal is to help you recognize your strengths, build practical coping skills, and create meaningful, lasting change that aligns with your values and the life you want to build.
