Telehealth Therapy for Florida Residents
Trauma, Anxiety, Chronic Illness, ADHD, and Life Transition Support
If you are feeling overwhelmed, managing anxiety, coping with a medical diagnosis, navigating attention or focus challenges, or going through a major life transition, finding the right support can feel difficult—especially when local options are limited or waitlists are long.
Heart and Mind Counseling provides specialized telehealth therapy for individuals, couples, children and families across Florida, allowing you to access experienced, compassionate care from the comfort and privacy of your home.
Many of our Florida clients come to us unsure where to begin. Our goal is to make starting therapy feel clear, supportive, and manageable from the very first step.
Call Deb Benoit, our Practice Manager, or request an appointment online to get started.

- anxiety, panic, and chronic stress
- trauma and post-traumatic stress
- adjustment to medical diagnoses or procedures
- congenital heart disease and cardiac-related emotional challenges
- caregiver fatigue and family strain
- grief, loss, and life transitions

- ADHD, attention challenges, and neurodivergent-related support
Therapy provides a structured, supportive space to process what you are experiencing and begin moving forward at your own pace.
