Online Therapy for Kids, Teens & Young Adults in Jacksonville

Hi, I’m Melissa. I offer a safe, insight-driven space to tackle the root causes of trauma. Dually licensed as an LMHC and LMFT, and certified as an NCC and CCMHC, I combine evidence-based strategies with genuine connection to address both individual and relational challenges. Moving past the traditional, detached dynamic, we will explore how your past influences your present and build lasting resilience. Let's work together to reclaim your narrative and thrive.

I am a compassionate Marriage and Family Therapist Registered Intern and work with adolescents, adults, couples, and families navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relational conflict, life transitions, and self-esteem concerns. My clinical experience includes supporting clients impacted by trauma, emotional abuse, domestic violence, parental divorce, substance-related family dynamics, and complex loss. My approach is collaborative, grounded in empathy, creating a safe, nonjudgmental space.

I’m Erika, a clinical social worker who’s passionate about helping kids, teens, and young adults feel understood, supported, and empowered. Therapy doesn’t have to feel scary or boring — my goal is to make it a safe space where you can be yourself, ask questions, and explore your thoughts and feelings without judgment. I bring a wide cultural perspective to my work. As an immigrant who spent most of my life abroad and comes from a Hispanic and Italian family, I provide a unique understanding of different cultures, traditions, and ways of seeing the world. Whether you’re struggling with stress, anxiety, friendships, school, identity, or just figuring out the next stage in life I’m here to help you build skills, find your voice, and feel more confident.

I am passionate about the world of mental health and I have been in this field since 2010. My specialty is substance use and addiction. I am a Master's Level Certified Addiction Professional (MCAP) with the Florida Board. I also have skills in helping clients process symptoms of trauma, ADHD, parenting and identifying coping skills. I offer a non-judgmental and open-minded approach to help build rapport with my clients. I enjoy learning from others and working with diverse cultures. I also have experience assisting adults and children who live with symptoms of trauma. I hold knowledge and training in evidence-based modalities. Healing comes in stages and we all have room to grow. I am happy to take this journey with you.

I provide a supportive, judgment-free space where young people can feel safe expressing themselves and learning healthy ways to manage emotions, stress, and life’s challenges. I partner closely with parents offering guidance and practical tools to support growth both in therapy. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to each child’s unique needs, helping families build resilience, connection, and confidence together.

I work with children and families to support and strengthen their connections. I do individual and family counseling. Growing up is hard and so is parenting! We all have times when we could use extra support. Working with children means talking, role playing, games, and other activities. You can learn a lot using all of these! I am certified in Cognitive Behavioral Intervention for Trauma in Schools and Rebound and Recovery. I have experience with many approaches, including CBT and TF-CBT.

I help children, teens, and adults struggling with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, trauma, relationship challenges, and the lasting effects of difficult life experiences. Together, we'll understand the patterns keeping you stuck and build healthier ways of coping, connecting, and healing. My approach integrates attachment-focused therapy, Somatic Experiencing, and Dr. Bruce Perry's Neurosequential Model of Therapeutics (NMT).
