Brian Shea

Brian Shea

Therapist

Virtual • Florida


Welcome — My name is Brian. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 27 years of experience helping people navigate life’s challenges and rediscover their strength. Over the years, I’ve learned that the most effective counseling happens when clients feel genuinely understood. My priority is getting to know who you are, how you think, and what matters most to you.

My approach is collaborative and down‐to‐earth. I don’t sit back and observe — I partner with you! Together, we identify what’s getting in the way and build practical, meaningful steps toward the version of yourself you want to become.

With decades of clinical and academic experience behind me, I draw from a wide range of tools and perspectives. More importantly, I bring a steady, compassionate presence that helps people feel safe, supported, and confident as they move forward.

Jessica Perez

Therapist

Virtual • Florida


If you're feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, or the emotional demands of parenthood, you're not alone. I work with adolescents, adults, couples, and families navigating life transitions, maternal mental health concerns, stress, grief, family conflict, substance use concerns, and PTSD. Whether you're struggling to manage difficult emotions, improve relationships, or heal from past experiences, therapy can provide a space for growth, healing, and self-discovery.

As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), I provide therapy in both English and Spanish and believe healing begins in a supportive, nonjudgmental environment. My goal is to help clients feel understood, empowered, and equipped with practical tools to create meaningful change while building resilience, confidence, and emotional well-being.
