Carey Luker
Licensed Professional Counselor, LMHC, LPC
Hi, I’m Carey Luker, a licensed therapist in South Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Florida. I work with adults of all ages, and I especially enjoy supporting college students, young adults, and people going through career or life transitions.
Starting therapy can feel uncomfortable or even a little scary, especially if you’re used to pushing through things on your own. My goal is to make therapy feel like a safe, relaxed space where you can talk openly, feel understood, and not worry about being judged. You don’t need to have the “right words” or everything figured out before starting.
For over 13 years, I’ve helped people work through anxiety, ADHD, stress from school or work, burnout, relationship struggles, low self-esteem, boundary setting, and those moments in life where you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of what comes next. Sometimes people come to therapy because everything feels too heavy, and sometimes they just want to understand themselves better and feel more balanced again.
My approach is supportive, practical, and tailored to you. I use tools from CBT, DBT, mindfulness, trauma-informed care, IFS, and neurodivergent-affirming approaches, but more importantly, I focus on creating a real connection where you feel comfortable being yourself.
I believe growth looks different for everyone. Therapy isn’t about having all the answers or getting everything “right.” It’s about having support while you learn, heal, grow, and navigate life a little more gently. You deserve a space where you can slow down, feel heard, and work toward becoming the version of yourself you want to be.

Shareece Cannonier
Psychologist, PsyD
Are you feeling overwhelmed and emotional on the inside? You work hard to create the life you want, but you feel like it might fall apart at any moment. Do others view you as the strong friend or family member who saves the day, but there is rarely anyone who consistently shows up for you? You wonder if you’re a people pleaser, too hard on yourself, and why others don’t respect your boundaries. Is there past trauma that could be affecting your current relationships that you need to process? Unmanaged anxiety, depression, or unhealed trauma can leave you feeling dissatisfied with life.

Amy L Gould
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC-S, NCC, CCMHC
Hello and welcome to my private practice. Video sessions are a convenient way to do therapy from your own confidential private space. I provide counseling services via Telehealth for adult individuals. My home state is Ohio and I am only contracted in Ohio to provide any Medicaid services though I am accepting other insurances as out-of-network. I am able to accept Medicare in the states where I am licensed as I am an in-network Medicare provider. If you are seeking an assessment for disability or some other purpose, I would not be able to accept your insurance for Telehealth sessions for that purpose, just for counseling and therapy. Your video sessions deserve the same level of privacy and importance as an in-person session and most people get the most out of sessions when they give them full attention. I prefer in-person sessions since they offer the highest level of confidentiality and conveyance of non-verbal communication, but the convenience of video sessions can make them very worthwhile. Whether you want a combination of in-person and Telehealth, in-person only, or only Telehealth, I may be able to accommodate you. Please note that when you utilize insurance, medical necessity and a mental health diagnosis must be established to bill insurance. I do offer private pay services for people who do not have or want to use insurance.

Tara McGrath
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I help LGBTQIA+ people manage anxiety and improve their relationships and communication. Many of my clients are dealing with the after-effects of a religious upbringing. Most are professionals who are doing well in some areas of life, but struggle with things like boundaries, self-worth, and understanding their own feelings. I also love to work with people who are coming out later in life. I am queer-identified.

Yourdeline Sertyl
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
Many high-achieving adults look successful on the outside but internally struggle with anxiety, overthinking, burnout, or a constant feeling of not being “good enough.” If you’re used to being the strong one for everyone else, it can feel difficult to slow down and take care of your own emotional needs.
I specialize in helping adults manage anxiety, rebuild self-trust, and develop healthier boundaries so life no longer feels overwhelming. My approach combines evidence-based strategies like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with a supportive, culturally aware style that helps you understand the patterns behind your thoughts, emotions, and relationships.
Through online therapy, we’ll work together to help you quiet the inner critic, strengthen your confidence, and create lasting change so you can move through life with more clarity, balance, and self-compassion.

St. Petersburg has undergone rapid transformation as an arts and culture hub, attracting young creatives, LGBTQ+ residents, and a growing tech community, and therapists here frequently work with identity exploration, life transitions, and the pressures of building an unconventional career in a mid-size city. The city has a well-established LGBTQ+ community centered around the Grand Central District, and affirming therapists are well represented relative to the city's size. St. Anthony's Hospital and Bayfront Health St. Petersburg provide institutional mental health resources alongside a growing private practice community. Many St. Pete therapists serve clients across the wider Tampa Bay area, making the region's therapeutic resources interconnected regardless of which side of the bay clients live on.
