Great to meet you!

DeCarlos Scippio is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Florida with over 10 years of experience as a therapist and a proud U.S. Army veteran who served in Afghanistan, achieving the rank of E5 (Sergeant). His military service gives him firsthand insight into the unique challenges faced by service members, veterans, and their families. As both a clinician and a father, DeCarlos brings a strong understanding of child development and family dynamics. His experience as a parent enhances his ability to support children through emotional and behavioral challenges while also offering practical guidance and perspective to parents navigating the complexities of raising resilient, emotionally healthy children.

My approach to therapy

DeCarlos specializes in helping individuals and families cope with trauma, abuse, anger, depression, low self-esteem, and major life transitions. Known for his calm, compassionate presence, he creates a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their experiences and develop practical tools for healing, growth, and long-term resilience. He is deeply passionate about helping clients strengthen family connections, build emotional strength, and move forward with confidence.

What you can expect from me

In the first session with DeCarlos, clients can expect a warm, welcoming environment and a thoughtful conversation focused on their current concerns. He takes time to understand each client’s unique story, strengths, and goals. Together, DeCarlos and the client begin developing a personalized, collaborative treatment plan that is goal-oriented and focused on meaningful progress. Clients typically leave the first session with greater clarity, a sense of direction, and a clear understanding of what to expect in therapy moving forward.
