Great to meet you!

If anxiety keeps you stuck in your head, replaying conversations, avoiding situations, bracing for what could go wrong or if grief and a major life change have left you running on empty, you don't have to figure this out alone.

At Inclusion Online Therapy, we help adults across Florida move through anxiety, social anxiety, chronic stress, burnout, grief, and life transitions with fully virtual, holistic care you can reach from wherever you feel most safe and comfortable.

Our clients are often first-generation professionals, caregivers, and bicultural individuals who look high-achieving on the outside but feel exhausted, overthinking, and emotionally drained on the inside. If that sounds like you, you've found the right place.

My approach to therapy

"Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate." — Carl Jung

Anxiety and grief are rarely just about the thing in front of you. They're about the patterns, the ways your nervous system learned to protect you that are now getting in the way of the life you want.

Our approach combines proven, evidence-based therapies with holistic interventions including mind-body techniques that address distress at its root:

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) — The gold standard for anxiety. We help you identify and challenge the thought patterns fueling worry and avoidance, and replace them with more grounded, realistic responses.

Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) — Rather than fighting anxious or painful thoughts, you learn to observe them, unhook from them, and move toward the life you actually want.

Psychodynamic Therapy — We explore how past experiences and relationships shape how you respond to stress and connection today.

Somatic & Mind-Body Techniques — Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT tapping), heart-coherence exercises, and mindfulness, tools with a growing evidence base for reducing anxiety, stress, and emotional dysregulation.

We also support adults with ADHD strategies for focus, time management, and self-esteem.

What you can expect from me

What to expect in your first session

Starting therapy can feel like a big step especially when anxiety makes you second-guess everything. Your first session is designed to put you at ease. This is a real conversation, not a checklist.

We'll talk about:

  • What's been weighing on you, the anxiety, the grief, the situations you've been avoiding, the stress that won't let up
  • What your life looks like right now, and what you wish were different
  • Your strengths and what's already working — we build from there

Therapy at Inclusion Online Therapy is a partnership. You bring your experiences and courage. We bring a holistic approach with clinical expertise, cultural understanding, and a genuine commitment to help you grow.

Ready to stop letting anxiety and stress take over your life? We are here for you.Every week you wait is another week of running on empty.

Book your first session today.
