One Hour. Just for You.
You're tired of carrying this alone. Individual therapy gives you a private space to understand what's actually happening — and build real tools to change it. In Tampa and online throughout Florida.
You feel stuck, overwhelmed, or like something is off — but you can't quite put your finger on what...
You don't need a diagnosis or a crisis to start therapy. You just need to know that something isn't working and you're ready to figure out why. One-on-one therapy is the most direct path to understanding your patterns, building better tools, and actually changing how things feel.
How I Can Help
- Understand what's actually driving your stress, anxiety, or low mood
- Build tools that work outside the therapy room — not just in it
- Break patterns you've been stuck in for months or years
- Work through specific goals at your own pace with a clear plan
- Process difficult experiences without being overwhelmed by them
- Leave each session with something concrete, not just a conversation

What can I expect from my first therapy session?
Your first session is mostly about getting to know each other. Douglas will ask about what brought you in, your history, and what you hope to get from therapy. You do not need to have everything figured out — just show up and be honest. It typically takes 2–3 sessions to settle into the work.
How is individual therapy different from talking to a friend?
A therapist offers something different from friendship: professional training, clinical tools, an objective perspective, and a confidential space with no competing personal stakes. Douglas brings structured approaches — CBT, EMDR, ACT, mindfulness — that are proven to produce change, not just comfort.
How often should I come to therapy?
Most clients begin with weekly sessions to build momentum. Over time, many shift to bi-weekly as they make progress. The frequency is always based on your needs, goals, and pace — never a one-size-fits-all schedule.
I am not sure what I want to work on. Is that okay?
Completely. Many people come to therapy with a vague sense that something is not right, without a clear diagnosis or problem statement. That is a perfectly valid starting point. Part of the early work is helping you identify what you most want to change and what is getting in the way.
Do you offer telehealth individual therapy?
Yes. Douglas offers individual therapy via HIPAA-compliant video sessions for clients anywhere in Florida. Telehealth sessions are just as effective as in-person for most concerns and offer greater scheduling flexibility.
What issues do you treat in individual therapy?
Douglas works with anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, addiction and recovery, life transitions, grief and loss, relationship patterns, self-esteem, identity, and more. See the Services page for a full overview.
