Online Therapy for Kids, Teens & Young Adults in Tampa

Hi, I’m a therapist who loves helping kids and teens discover their strengths and feel more confident in themselves. I earned my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Liberty University and also have a background in Educational Leadership from Troy State University. I work with children and adolescents facing challenges like anxiety, low self-esteem, bullying, and negative thinking patterns. I believe therapy works best when parents are part of the process, so I make collaboration a priority. My sessions often include humor, practical coping tools, and strategies to help kids see situations in a more positive light. Above all, I want my clients—and their families—to feel understood, supported, and empowered

I work with children (ages 8-12) and young adults (ages 18-35) that are navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, self esteem concerns, and life transitions. I am passionate about creating a genuine, nonjudgmental, and trauma-informed space where clients can show up as they are, without pressure to have everything figured out. My approach is both supportive and direct, as I meet clients where they are while also helping them move forward in ways that feel realistic and meaningful.

At certain points in our lives, we may experience challenges, stressors, and difficulties that may feel too overwhelming or painful to handle. I chose to pursue a course of professional study and work, that has allowed me to make an impact on the lives of people. My focus has always been on promoting well-being and client strengths, rather than on focusing solely on the negative effects of problems, to bring about change in people’s lives. I have a passion for helping clients gain recovery, and to reach a state of openness where healing may begin. I have found that the most rewarding element of counseling is helping people reach a state of joy where they are living their fullest life, and I am dedicated to working with each and every client towards this goal. I am an experienced, well tested, compassionate, and highly devoted mental health counselor with years of professional experience counseling individuals and families from different backgrounds suffering from mental health conditions, including major depression, bipolar disorder, relationship issues, crisis situations, addiction, and more. I have an outgoing personality, along with expertise in rapport building and utilize a wide range of therapeutic applications to help clients develop solutions and gain insight into their situations. With the theoretical knowledge I have gained through my studies, combined with my years of practical and professional experience, I have been blessed to play this essential role in the lives of my clients; and it is my goal always to continue improving my ability to make an impact.

As a parent, your deepest desire is for your child, whether they are a little one, a teenager, or an adult, to feel safe, understood, and confident in their own skin. Hi, I’m Maxine. My role is to be that compassionate and supportive presence in your child or teen's life as they navigate the challenges of growing up in today's world. Whether they are facing anxiety, grief, or the overwhelming pressures of social media and sports, I’m here to lend a helping hand.
