June Pittman

June Pittman

Therapist

Virtual • Florida


"I want you to become the expert on you." You are the expert on your own life, but sometimes life layers challenges that make it hard to see the way forward—anxiety that keeps you awake, the heavy weight of grief, or the lingering echoes of trauma. My name is June Pittman, and I founded Positive FX Counseling & Wellness because I believe that even in our darkest chapters, we have the innate capacity to create a 'positive effect' on our own mental well-being.

Based in West Palm Beach, I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) dedicated to helping adults and adolescents navigate the complexities of identity and loss. With a Master’s in Counseling Psychology from Palm Beach Atlantic University and a background in organizational systems, I bring a grounded, holistic perspective to the healing process—helping you bridge the gap between where you are and the resilient future you deserve.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Fort Walton Beach, FL

Finding therapists in Fort Walton Beach starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. You may want help with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, or stress. As you compare therapists, look for training and listed specialties that match what you want to focus on. A therapist’s bio can also show whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, acceptance and commitment therapy, or trauma-informed care.

Fort Walton Beach has a smaller local therapist market, so virtual appointments can give you more options while still keeping care connected to Florida-licensed therapists. In-person sessions may work well if you prefer meeting in an office, while virtual sessions can fit more easily around work, school, caregiving, or travel across Okaloosa County. Beyond specialty, compare appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand each therapist’s communication style, session structure, and areas of focus.

Therapy in Fort Walton Beach can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower session costs and understand what you may pay before you begin. Headway helps you search therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, verify your coverage, view estimated out-of-pocket costs, and book directly when you’re ready.
