Online Women’s Counseling in Jacksonville and Across Florida
Women experience unique challenges, pressures, and transitions throughout life, and it’s not uncommon to feel like the weight of it all is too much to bear. The truth is, it’s okay to not feel okay, and it’s okay to seek help when things feel overwhelming.
Feeling Pulled in Every Direction? You’re Not Alone.
Women are often expected to juggle it all — careers, relationships, family, and personal goals — while somehow keeping it all together. The pressure to meet expectations, navigate personal struggles, and manage an endless to-do list can feel overwhelming. Finding a female therapist who understands the unique challenges you’re facing offers a space to step back, breathe, and work through what’s weighing on you —without the pressure of having it all figured out.
Women’s Specific Issues That Counseling Can Address
Adjusting to career changes or significant life transitions
Feeling burned out and needing help managing stress
Navigating challenges in marriage, divorce, or breakups
Feeling overwhelmed by postpartum anxiety or depression
Coping with the heartbreak of miscarriage, a stillbirth, or infant loss
Dealing with the pain of losing a loved one and navigating grief

Struggling to set healthy boundaries without guilt
Life doesn’t slow down just because you’re struggling, which is why online counseling makes it easier to get the support you need — without rearranging your entire schedule. Whether you’re balancing work, family, relationships, or just trying to make space for yourself, therapy should fit into your life, not the other way around.
In our 50-minute sessions, we’ll explore the challenges you’re facing—whether it’s stress, self-doubt, relationship struggles, or feeling overwhelmed by expectations. Together, we’ll unpack what’s been weighing on you, identify patterns that may be holding you back, and find real strategies to help you navigate life with more clarity and confidence.

How to Get Started

Let's Do A Free Consultation
Let’s connect on a free 15-minute phone consultation. This gives you a chance to share your feelings, ask questions about the counseling process, and determine if we're a good fit to work together. I’m here to understand you, without any judgment. If we are, we’ll book your appointment on the call.
