Therapist

Virtual • Florida


I’m Nicole Alvarez, LMHC, a Tampa therapist for couples, blended and traditional families, and individuals. I help busy partners and parents reduce conflict, rebuild connection, and gain practical tools for daily life. Evening and weekend telehealth across Florida; part‐time in‐office sessions in Tampa. Private‐pay welcome; superbills provided. Whether you’re an executive couple facing withdrawal, repeated conflict, and work–life spillover, or a blended family navigating loyalty, boundary, and logistical strain, you want discreet, time‐efficient, results‐focused therapy that fits your schedule.

Using Emotion‐Focused, systems, and skills‐based methods, I create evidence‐informed plans for executives, couples, blended and traditional families, and individuals. We set clear goals, improve communication and co‐parenting, and use brief between‐session practices. Same-week telehealth, evenings/weekends, part‐time Tampa office, packages and superbills.

Tired of feeling overwhelmed, stressed out or anxious? Do you find yourself overthinking or worrying about any and everything? Do you experience a rapid heart beat, sweaty palms, dry mouth and shaking? Feeling on edge, irritable or tense? All these things keep you from enjoying your life. They hold you back in your career or in relationships or other areas of life. You want to feel at ease and less stressed out. You want to go after what you want without second guessing yourself.


I help client's develop life-changing habits that allow them to cope with any of life’s various obstacles that provokes anxiety. During therapy sessions we will work together to identify goals and map out a plan to reach those goals. You'll receive tools that you can start using today and the validation and care that you deserve.


You will find a supportive, non judgmental, safe space to share. Contact me to schedule a free 15 minute phone consultation so I can answer any questions you have before we get started.
