Hi, I’m Dulal, a qualified supervisor and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Registered Marriage and Family Therapist with over a decade of experience helping individuals, couples, and families find peace, purpose, and connection in their lives.
As a current Doctoral candidate in Marriage & Family Therapy at Nova Southeastern University, I bring a research-informed, compassionate, and collaborative approach to mental health. I work with adults, children, teens, couples, families, and the elderly—guiding each client with empathy and tailored support.
As a human being, we are designed for relationships and yet all too often hurt in relationships. Healing emotional wounds occurs through a supportive and positive relationship and environment. In addition to secular counseling, I offer faith-based counseling for those who are Christian and looking for counseling that integrates evidence-based therapies with Biblical principles, and does not espouse any specific denomination.
Are you feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, stress, or relationship challenges? Many individuals find themselves stuck despite wanting meaningful change, especially when emotional distress begins to interfere with daily functioning and overall well-being. Therapy offers a structured and supportive space to better understand these challenges and develop effective coping strategies. Seeking professional support is an important first step, and meaningful change occurs through intentional work both in and outside the therapy setting.
My name is Mick Desrameaux, LMHC, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with extensive experience treating anxiety disorders, depression, trauma-related symptoms, substance use concerns, and co-occurring mental health conditions. I work collaboratively with clients to increase self-awareness, emotional regulation, and insight into patterns that affect relationships and personal growth. My therapeutic approach is grounded in evidence-based practices, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, and motivational interviewing.
I provide a safe, confidential, and nonjudgmental therapy environment where clients feel respected and supported. My goal is to help individuals feel empowered, build healthier relationships, and develop practical skills for long-term emotional stability. I am committed to delivering client-centered, ethical, and culturally responsive mental health counseling, supporting clients as they move toward greater balance, resilience, and overall mental wellness.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Couples Therapist in Fort Lauderdale
Searching for couples therapists in Fort Lauderdale starts with knowing what you want to work on together. Couples therapy can support communication patterns, recurring conflict, trust after infidelity, major life changes, and parenting disagreements. Not all therapists have specific training in couples work, so look for licensed marriage and family therapists, or therapists who list approaches like the Gottman Method or emotionally focused therapy. A therapist’s profile can also help you understand how they structure sessions and how they work with both partners.
Fort Lauderdale offers local options for couples therapy, with added flexibility through virtual appointments across Florida. The right fit depends on practical details as much as clinical experience. Consider whether you prefer in-person couples therapy near home or work, whether evening or weekend times fit both schedules, and whether the therapist offers a brief consultation before the first session. Reading bios before booking can help both partners compare communication style, specialties, and session expectations.
Couples therapy in Fort Lauderdale can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway makes it easier to find marriage counseling in Fort Lauderdale by showing therapists who are accepting new patients and offer virtual or in-person appointments. You can enter your insurance details on Headway to confirm what coverage is available for your specific plan and see estimated costs before booking. You can review profiles, see estimated costs after entering your insurance details, 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.
