I have over 25 years of professional experience in addition to having a dual degree in Mental Health Counseling and Marriage and Family Therapy. I have been one who always believed that you never stop learning. I am humbled by my vast interactions with both individuals, and or couples who have allowed me to learn and grow as a person from them. This is what separates me from my colleagues. My training is derived from not only you but gaining valuable experience by working in Hospital Emergency Rooms, Inpatient Psychiatric Hospitals for Both Children & Adults, Substance Abuse -Dependency Clinics, Correction Mental Health as well as Alzheimer's-Dementia and Nursing Home Facilities. In addition, working in Private. Practice. I am extremely comfortable working with people of all ages, genders and ethnicities.

Juan Martell

Juan Martell

Therapist

Virtual • Florida


I'm Juan Carlos Martell, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida who believes therapy should feel like a real conversation — not a clinical evaluation. My approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Existential Therapy to help us work through what's weighing you down while reconnecting with what actually matters to you.

I work with adults and teens in navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, self-doubt, and the quiet question of "is this really the life I want?" Sessions with me are warm, practical, and free of jargon. You'll leave with tools you can actually use — not just insight, but real strategies for your everyday life.

Outside the therapy room, I'm a published author of The Adventures of Kevin & Friends, a children's mental health book series designed to help families talk openly about emotions. I'm also the creator of PsychLife on Instagram, where I make psychology accessible for everyone, and the founder of MindfulPractice, an upcoming mental health app rooted in CBT, ACT, and mindfulness.

Everything I do comes back to one mission: making mental health real, relatable, and within reach. You don't have to figure it out alone.

Be the artist of your own life.

One of the most empowering factors in my life has been spending 32 years as an Air Force Military Spouse. This empowered me to grow and learn through lived experiences in diverse groups. I’ve been a clinical social worker and prior substance abuse counselor for 30+ years working in a public agency, private practice, and with the US Army at Fort Carson, Colorado and at SHAPE, Belgium. I work across all ages to include both adults and children. In addition to my MSW in clinical social worker, I have an advanced graduate degree in Infant and Early Childhood Special Education Leadership and a doctorate degree in Curriculum and Diversity Studies.

Hi, and welcome.

Choosing a therapist can feel overwhelming, and finding the right fit matters. I bring over 17 years of experience working with children, adolescents, and adults across hospitals, schools, community settings, and private practice.

I specialize in helping clients navigate trauma, anxiety, mood concerns, behavioral challenges, relationship difficulties, life transitions, and emotional overwhelm. My goal is to create a space where clients feel understood, supported, and empowered to make meaningful change.

I believe therapy should feel collaborative, practical, and individualized—not one-size-fits-all. Together, we identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck, build on your strengths, and develop tools that support long-term growth and healing.

Whether you’re seeking support for yourself, your child, or your family, my goal is to provide compassionate, evidence-informed care that helps you move forward with greater confidence and clarity.

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 Florida

Finding the right therapist in Florida starts with getting clear on the type of support you need. Therapists across the state specialize in a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, trauma, and life transitions. Some focus on specific approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) or Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), while others take a more integrative approach. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their style and decide if they're a good match before you commit.

With more than 22 million residents spread across cities like Miami, Tampa, Orlando, Jacksonville, and Fort Lauderdale, Florida has a large and diverse provider network. Many therapists offer both in-person and virtual sessions, which can be especially helpful if you live in a rural area or prefer the flexibility of meeting from home. When comparing providers, consider what matters most to you — specialty, session format, availability, and location.

Therapy in Florida can be expensive out of pocket, but using your in-network insurance benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs upfront, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a provider who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.
