I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Nationally Certified Counselor with over 20 years of experience supporting adults through life’s most challenging seasons. My background includes extensive work in behavioral health and addiction treatment, with a focus on helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, substance use concerns, stress, life transitions, and emotional overwhelm. I believe therapy should feel supportive, practical, and judgment-free. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling stuck, exhausted, anxious, discouraged, or unsure of how to move forward. My goal is to help you better understand what you are experiencing, identify patterns that may be holding you back, and build healthier tools to manage life with more confidence and stability.

I strive to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and supported as we work together toward meaningful change.

Star Hess-Cabarle

Therapist

Virtual • Florida


Hello, I’m Star. I am a Licensed Mental Health and Addictions Counselor and am currently returning to school to pursue a Master’s Degree in Exercise and Nutrition Sciences, with the goal of holistically integrating mental and physical well-being. I graduated from the University of Colorado in 2016 with a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health.

I began my counseling career working and volunteering in drug rehabilitation centers and community mental health centers and later gained experience within the criminal justice system through work in county jails and the Colorado state prison system, where I have been practicing since 2016.

My primary interests include working with trauma, substance use disorders, and general mental health and wellness, with an emphasis on movement and proper nutrition due to their impact on how we think and feel. I prefer a holistic approach, focusing on finding what works best for each individual client. I am trained in diversity and inclusion and utilize a person-centered approach in my professional practice.

My motto is, “You can’t pour from an empty cup,” and my goal is to help clients fill their cups so they can be more present for themselves and their loved ones.

Happy patient looking away

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 Therapist in Gulf Breeze

Finding the right therapist in Gulf Breeze starts with getting clear on what kind of support you're looking for. Whether you're seeking help with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, or trauma, look for a licensed provider — such as an LMHC, LCSW, psychologist, or psychiatrist — who has experience with your specific needs. Reading a provider's bio can give you a sense of their style and approach before you reach out.

Gulf Breeze is a smaller community, but its location within the Pensacola metro area means you have access to a broader network of providers nearby. Many therapists also offer virtual sessions, which can expand your options if you prefer the flexibility of meeting from home or if local availability is limited. Couples counseling, family therapy, and other mental health treatment options are available through providers in the area.

Therapy in the Gulf Breeze area can be expensive without insurance coverage. Using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay out of pocket — and your cost may be as low as $0 per session depending on your plan. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, so you can confirm your coverage and see an estimated session cost before you book.
