Brooke Rimondi

Taking the step towards therapy can feel daunting, but it's a powerful move towards change. Finding a therapist who aligns with your needs and is a good fit is crucial for a successful journey.

My name is Brooke Rimondi and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in the state of Florida. I have worked professionally in the high school setting, community counseling, and private practice for the past 13 years, supporting adults and teenagers with individual, group, couples, and family counseling. I love working with clients in all walks of life and in all stages of their therapy journey, whether this is their first experience with therapy or if they are an old pro. There are always new things to try and exciting things to discover as we work towards establishing your goals in therapy and what you specifically need from me as your therapist. I work hard to create a supportive, collaborative, and validating space where your experiences and desires are heard and valued. I focus on a client's strengths and challenges, using evidence-based approaches to foster healing, growth, and transformation.

I offer virtual counseling to anywhere in Florida and offer flexible appointment times, including mornings, afternoons and evenings. I'm looking forward to connecting with you and taking this next step together!

Having a safe space to talk about feelings and issues in a supportive and validating environment is crucial and establishing good rapport with your therapist is a huge part of successful therapy. I am deeply committed to listening to my client's unique perspective and needs. The goal of therapy is to help you achieve your goals by finding the most effective path forward.

I draw from a variety of proven therapeutic methods and incorporate specialized training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). This evidence-based approach is highly effective in teaching tangible skills to manage extreme emotions, improve relationships, and regulate behavior. Many clients, even those who felt stuck with other therapies, have seen strong and lasting results with DBT. My specialized training allows me to guide my clients dealing with intense emotions, relationship issues, and problematic behaviors toward realistic, enduring change. We can work to build hope, dignity, and a strong sense of personal empowerment out of difficult and painful situations.

In our first session, we will spend time getting to know one another and understand what initially brought you to therapy. Talking about the specific challenges you are facing will help us start to establish therapy goals and help determine a tailored treatment plan to continue to work on in future sessions.

I believe that meaningful, lasting change is best achieved through collaboration. I have an inclusive approach that welcomes clients from all backgrounds, regardless of race, gender, age, faith, or personal history. Together, we will establish clear, relevant goals that are important to you as the client, addressing the reasons for seeking therapy. I emphasize a solution-focused perspective, highlighting practical skills and strategies that lead to tangible, long-lasting progress. My role is to help identify and build upon your strengths, offering guidance and motivation in a supportive, validating, and collaborative space. I want you to feel heard, valued, and empowered as we work progresses toward desired transformation.
