Glendoria Stephens, LMHC — Therapist in Florida

Hi there, I'm Glendoria!

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor based in Florida. I work full-time as a Crisis Counselor and part-time on a telehealth platform. In the telehealth setting, I work with adults and specialize in anxiety, stress, life transitions, and relationship conflict. Use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to encourage a change in negative thoughts.

My focus

My client population is adults of varied backgrounds, experiencing anxiety, depression, life transitions, and relationship conflicts. I work to help clients understand their physical response to external stressors and begin to problem-solve ways to introduce moments of calm, with encouragement to choose to respond rather than react.

My approach

My approach is client-focused and varies based on the needs of the client. I am supportive, caring, and compassionate. I offer clients a safe place to be open and honest without fear of judgment. I use Motivational Interviewing, to identify strengths, focus on solutions, and collaborate with the client to overcome obstacles.

My communication style

My style is empathetic, offering compassion and gentle guidance to help you sort through difficult things. I use a strength-based approach that is interactive and non-judgmental, positioning you as the expert on where you are now and where you want to go.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey to becoming a therapist began after years of working in a corporate organization. I wanted to work in a helping profession and chose counseling to fulfill this goal when given the opportunity. Helping others is also a part of my personal life as I volunteer weekly to mentor preteen girls at a local school and a kindergarten program.

My goals for you

I assign homework between sessions, including worksheets and journaling exercises to help you better recognize and manage stress. I'm available by messaging and do my best to respond within a few hours.

Our first session

In our first session, we'll start with brief introductions and begin to build rapport, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. I collaborate with you to create a tailored plan addressing specific goals for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
