DeCarlos Scippio, LCSW — Therapist in Florida

Hi there, I'm DeCarlos!

I help clients with trauma, abuse, motivation, self-esteem, confidence, anger, career difficulties, and depression. I create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy takes courage, and I am proud of you for getting started!

My focus

I work with children, adolescents, and adults to address trauma, depression, behavioral problems, grief, self-esteem building, and life coaching.

My approach

As a therapist, I teach clients resiliency to help individuals overcome barriers and cope with everyday stressors. I use Talk Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Cognitive Behavior Therapy.

My communication style

To best serve my clients, I create a safe and non-judgmental environment.

My journey to mental healthcare

Working as a therapist, I am able to use my skills and knowledge to help others. I derive great satisfaction from providing people with support and guidance as they work through difficult issues. I believe that I can make a difference in people's lives, and that is what gives me the passion and motivation to continue in this line of work.

My goals for you

I discuss with the client to understand their needs and objectives, then create measurable, realistic goals. These goals are broken into manageable tasks, and I provide support to ensure the client meets them.

Our first session

During my first session with my client, I will work to build rapport and trust and allow them to move at their own pace. We will also discuss why they are seeking counseling and treatment and explore their goals for therapy.
