Lynette Cisneros
Counselor/Therapist, LCMHC, LMHC
So, you've made it here today, for many this decision of prioritizing oneself may be long overdue. Initiating counseling can be a challenging step to take and selecting an online counselor, who accepts insurance, and is a good fit can feel quite daunting. I know people search for providers and often go through a few before finding one to begin with or begin again with. This journey which may already be stacked with scheduling conflicts and feelings of vulnerability can quickly become overwhelming. I provide online sessions for adults across NC & FL. Reach out, we'll schedule a quick consultation call, words on a screen only go so far.

Bobby Newell
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, SEP
You don’t have to keep doing life on hard mode.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, anxious, or like your emotions go from 0 to 100 really fast—you’re not alone. College can be a lot, and most people are just figuring it out as they go.
Therapy isn’t about “fixing” you. It’s about helping you understand what’s actually going on inside so you can feel more in control of your reactions, your relationships, and your choices.
Using practical, real-life tools (not just talking in circles), we’ll work on things like:
managing stress and anxiety
handling intense emotions without shutting down or blowing up
setting boundaries without the guilt
feeling more confident in who you are
You don’t have to have everything figured out to start.
Whether you’re going through something tough or just tired of feeling the way you’ve been feeling, this can be a space to reset, regroup, and move forward in a way that actually feels good.
You deserve support that helps you feel better—not just get by.

Kelli Hall
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I offer virtual therapy for individuals who find themselves over-accommodating, over-functioning, or struggling to set boundaries in relationships. If you’ve ever felt responsible for other people’s feelings, guilty saying “no,” or stuck in patterns that leave you feeling drained—this work is for you.
My practice is fully private pay (effective July 1, 2026), and I partner with Thrizer to support clients who would like to utilize out-of-network (OON) benefits.
All sessions are conducted via a secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform. I offer a complimentary 15-minute consultation to ensure we’re a good fit and that virtual therapy meets your needs before getting started.

Seaford Counseling Services
Counselor/Therapist, M.Ed, LCMHC
Who knew that online therapy could work? Before Covid, I had never dreamed of it! But the research is in: online therapy is every bit as effective as in person! Given the choice, I still prefer meeting in person; however, there are actually some benefits. I learn a lot by seeing how your home is decorated, meeting your small children, and especially your pets. Plus, some clients find it easier to open up as well as apply new skills when we meet on their own turf! So if this is easier, more convenient, or simply your preference, let's do it!!!

Paulina Mendez
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSWA, LCASA
I offer grounded, relational online therapy for adults seeking support that feels both practical and deeply human. My work is shaped by community-based practice, systems awareness, and attention to the nervous system and lived experience. It is also informed by ancestral curanderismo traditions, which emphasize presence, attunement, and creating containers where people can soften safely, be witnessed, and feel supported. Online therapy with me is a space to slow down, build skills, and reconnect with yourself, so you can move forward with more clarity, steadiness, and ease.
