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.
My professional experience is with young adults who struggle with life changes/transitions. Also, young adults who struggle with coping and stress. Individuals who are looking for a safe space to be heard and supported without judgement.
Hi, I’m Nicole! I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor at Optimyze Counseling. I specialize in couples therapy, anxiety, stress, life transitions, adolescents, young adults, and perinatal and postpartum mental health. My approach is warm, collaborative, and strength-based, creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard and understood.
I believe therapy is a collaborative journey—not a quick fix. If you or your child are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or weighed down by stress, anxiety, or past experiences, you don’t have to navigate it alone. I work with adults and children, bringing warmth, compassion, and a strengths-based approach to each session. My goal is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore challenges, reconnect with their strengths, and move toward a more fulfilling life. I integrate trauma-informed practices and, when it feels helpful, nature-based techniques to support grounding, perspective, and growth. I’m here to guide and empower you—while helping you take meaningful, practical steps forward.
You don't have to keep holding everything together.
You're the one everyone depends on. You show up for your family, your relationship, your work, and everyone around you—but somewhere along the way, you may have lost touch with yourself.
If you're exhausted from overthinking, people-pleasing, perfectionism, anxiety, or constantly putting yourself last, therapy can be a place where you finally get to slow down, breathe, and focus on you.
I'm Lourdes Conde, LMHC, LPC, a licensed therapist in Florida and Oregon with 10 years of experience helping adults navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, low self-esteem, perfectionism, people-pleasing, burnout, grief, and major life transitions.
Clients often come to me feeling overwhelmed, stuck in their thoughts, or exhausted from trying to keep everything together. I work with adults navigating anxiety, ADHD, depression, trauma, grief, and life transitions. My approach is practical, collaborative, and down-to-earth. We’ll focus on understanding what’s keeping you stuck, building realistic tools to manage stress and overthinking, and helping you feel more confident, connected, and in control of your life.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Venice
Searching for therapists in Venice starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want support with. Therapists may focus on concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, and trauma. As you compare options, look for specialties and approaches that fit your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or marriage counseling in Venice, FL. A therapist’s profile can also show what sessions may feel like, including how they describe their style and the concerns they often support.
In a smaller city like Venice, local appointment options may be more limited than in larger Florida markets. Virtual therapy can expand your search while still letting you see a therapist licensed in Florida. You may also want to compare appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation before the first session. Reading bios before booking can help you understand each therapist’s communication style, background, and approach to care.
Therapy in Venice, FL can be expensive without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before booking. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, match your preferences, and offer in-person or virtual appointments. You can browse therapists, review bios, 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.
