Online addiction counseling for adults throughout Florida
Addiction Counseling that starts where you are
You don’t need to have everything figured out before beginning. You just need to be willing to start the conversation. We can figure out the next steps together.
It’s all about being heard—really heard—without judgment, labels, or assumptions about who you are because of what you’re going through. Addiction can leave people feeling misunderstood, ashamed, frustrated, or simply exhausted from trying to explain themselves to people who don’t understand. Whether you're struggling with alcohol, drugs, substance use, or trying to find your footing in recovery, you don't have to figure it out alone.
What Online Addiction Counseling With Me Looks Like
Session 01
really just a conversation—you tell me what’s going on, I listen without judgment, and we figure out where to start
Session 02
start connecting the dots, figuring out what’s keeping you stuck, and talking about what might actually help
Session 03
start building a plan that feels realistic for your life—not someone else’s
Session 04
see what’s working and what isn’t, and adjust as we go—no judgment, no perfection required
Session 05
real-life changes, learning from the tough moments, and building on what’s actually working for you
Session 06
we’re not just talking about what’s wrong anymore—we’re starting to see what works for you and why
Session 07
you know yourself better and recognize the patterns that used to trip you up
Session 08
something has shifted—you understand what’s been keeping you stuck, you know what helps, and for the first time, moving forward feels doable
An Addiction Counselor Who Understands
My understanding of addiction is both professional and personal. I know what it’s like when something that once felt manageable stops feeling that way. That experience shapes the way I practice, but it doesn’t define what change should look like for you. Your story is your own, and we’ll start from there.
My name is Rita, and I’m a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) specializing in online counseling for adults struggling with addiction, substance use, and the challenges that come along with them. I provide therapy virtually, so if you're anywhere in Florida, we can work together from wherever you are.
You Don't Have to Be Ready. You just have to start the conversation.
