Who do you work with?

Adults who want focused, specialized help with anxiety, panic, OCD, phobias, or fear of flying. I also work with professionals and executives on stress and burnout.

Why see a specialist for anxiety or OCD?

Anxiety and OCD respond to specific treatments. Some common approaches, like frequent reassurance, analyzing every worry, or avoiding triggers, can bring short-term relief and make symptoms stronger over time. A specialist uses methods designed to break that cycle.

What methods do you use?

Mainly two well-researched approaches. Exposure and response prevention (ERP) means gradually facing the situations, thoughts, or sensations you fear, at a pace we agree on, while practicing not doing the things that bring quick relief, like checking or seeking reassurance. Your brain learns the fear is manageable, and it shrinks. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches you to notice anxious thoughts and feelings without fighting them, so they lose their grip and you can focus on what matters to you.

Do you use virtual reality (VR) exposure?

Yes, as an optional tool. Some fears, like flying or heights, are hard to practice on demand. VR exposure lets you practice in a realistic simulated setting as a step between session work and the real situation. It isn't required, and it doesn't replace real-world exposure, which is where lasting change happens. If it fits your plan, we'll go over what you'd need before you start.

Where do you offer therapy?

Online, anywhere in South Carolina and Florida. You need to be located in one of those states at the time of each session. More states are planned as the Counseling Compact expands.

Do you offer in-person sessions?

No. All sessions are online by secure video. For in-person care in the Tampa area, Float On Counseling's team offers office sessions.

How many sessions does fear of flying take?

Most people build solid foundations within three sessions. Typically, about eight sessions gives you the tools you need.

Is therapy with you a good fit for me?

Fit matters. Research consistently shows that the relationship between you and your therapist is one of the strongest predictors of progress, so it's worth choosing carefully. A free consultation is the best way to find out: we can talk through what's going on, how I work, and whether it feels right. My services are outpatient therapy for adults who are managing day to day and want focused help. If you need more support than weekly sessions provide, or someone else would be a better match, I'll help you find the right care.

What if I'm in crisis?

Call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline) or go to the nearest emergency room. This practice does not provide crisis services.
