Looking for a therapist can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to figure it out alone. I provide virtual therapy for adults throughout Florida, Ohio, and Indiana, offering a warm, supportive, and collaborative space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered to make meaningful change.
I work with adults experiencing anxiety, OCD, depression, bipolar disorder, relationship challenges, trauma, eating disorders, chronic pain, infertility or IVF, and major life transitions. Together, we’ll better understand what’s keeping you stuck, strengthen coping skills, improve emotional regulation, and help you move forward with greater confidence.
I have a special interest in supporting adults living with chronic pain, chronic illness, infertility, IVF, and other medical conditions that impact mental health. These experiences can affect every part of life—including relationships, identity, self-esteem, work, and daily functioning. You deserve a space where those challenges are understood and where you don’t have to carry them alone.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and practical. I believe therapy should feel like a genuine conversation where you feel comfortable being yourself while also feeling supported and challenged to grow.
I earned my B.A. in Psychology and my M.Ed. in Rehabilitation and Mental Health Counseling from Florida Atlantic University. With more than 11 years of experience helping adults, my goal is to provide compassionate, evidence-based care tailored to your unique needs.
If you’re ready to take the next step, I’d be honored to support you.
I’m an Ohio‐licensed Professional Clinical Counselor‐Supervisor with a master’s in School & Community Mental Health Counseling. As a Registered Play Therapist‐Supervisor, I use developmentally attuned, play‐based methods to help children, adolescents, and adults communicate, regulate emotions, and build resilience.
My name is Dr. Llena Carter. I am originally from the southside of Chicago. I have lived in four different states and traveled to over 40; including teaching/traveling abroad for multiple summers. I have been a therapist for over 20 years and have a breadth of experience. I see therapy as a sacred space where trust and nonjudgment are essential. I am specifically passionate about providing support for persons of color and oppressed populations where therapy may be otherwise stigmatized. I would be honored to walk, even a small part of your journey, with you.
In my 20-plus years of clinical experience, I have worked with individuals, families as well as with couples and groups. My experience has stemmed from a variety of settings including domestic violence shelters, psychiatric units, juvenile detention centers, college campuses and private practice. Consulting work has included Suicide Prevention, DEI trainings, Intergroup Dialogue, and Groups geared toward de-stigmatizing mental wellness for communities of color. All are welcome here.
I am kind and supportive and will also hold you accountable.
To ensure absolute confidence in our partnership, you should know that I operate less like a traditional therapist and more like a psychological strategist. Built specifically for high-achievers accustomed to heavy loads, my approach does not rely on passive listening. Instead, I am highly active, engaged, and direct. I match your cognitive speed, treating your emotional well-being with the same urgency and strategic precision you apply to your most critical professional ventures.
Within our sessions, the usual hierarchies are stripped away to provide a rare ecosystem of utmost discretion and radical candor. Because I am entirely focused on the human being operating the machine, I will gently but firmly challenge your blind spots and call out self-sabotaging logic. You will never hear me hide behind clinical jargon; instead, I translate complex behavioral science into plain, actionable frameworks designed for a logical, analytical mind.
Ultimately, I view myself as a specialized asset in your corner, operating on the principle that insight without execution is just an expensive conversation. Our work prioritizes data and action, ensuring every concept is pressure-tested in the real world—whether in your boardroom, your marriage, or your internal life. My sole objective is to help you optimize your inner world so your outer success is sustainable, fulfilling, and integrated with the people you love.
I have a PhD in counseling. I care about the treatments my clients get and I want to give my best to each and everyone. I have compassion for mental health, and I believe in quality care. I use EMDR, DBT, and CBT treatments with clients. I take a person-centered approach and tailor the treatment to you and your needs.

As an Independent Clinical Social Worker, I believe prioritizing your mental health is the key to finding your joy. I have been in practice for 11 years focusing on individuals navigating the impact of anxiety, depression, PTSD/trauma, working with couples, and parent mentoring.
I help clients understand how their experiences shape their present struggles and help build internal safety, self-understanding, and resilience.
My work is especially suited for individuals who have experienced trauma and feel its effects in their daily lives. Many of the people I work with come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, disconnected from themselves or others, or unsure why certain patterns keep repeating. Trauma can leave people feeling alone, misunderstood, invisible, or unsafe—even within their own bodies and minds.
I often work with clients navigating complex trauma, trauma-related addiction, abuse specializing in DV/IPV, neurodivergent and identity struggles, anxiety, and depression. Many are individuals who have spent years surviving difficult experiences and are now seeking a deeper level of healing, understanding, and stability.
Clients who tend to benefit most from working with me are those who want more than symptom relief—they want to understand themselves more deeply and build a life that feels meaningful, authentic, and connected. Their goals often include feeling safer in their own bodies, reducing emotional reactivity and overwhelm, improving relationships, and developing a stronger sense of identity and self-trust.











Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Searching for therapists in Ohio starts with finding someone whose experience matches what you want support with. Across a state with large metro areas, smaller cities, and rural communities, available therapists and care options can vary by location. You may be looking for support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, relationship concerns, or life transitions. As you compare Ohio therapists, look for specialties, therapy styles, and experience listed in each bio, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or support for specific life stages.
Location and format also matter when choosing therapy in Ohio. If you live near Columbus, Cleveland, or Cincinnati, you may have a wider range of in-person options, while virtual appointments can expand your search across more licensed Ohio therapists. Consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether their schedule works with yours. Reading a therapist’s profile can also help you understand how they structure sessions, communicate, and approach care before you book.
The cost of Ohio therapy can vary, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for therapists who take your insurance, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and book directly when you’re ready. Nationally, Headway works with over 100 insurance plans, and you can confirm your coverage for your location and plan as you search, making it easier to find someone who matches your needs, accepts your insurance, and is ready to take new patients.
