Chronic Pain
Jennifer Cain
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I worked for several years with people who experienced a work accident or motor vehicle accident who struggled with chronic pain. People were surprised to find out that a combination of psychological and behavior strategies, when practiced consistently over time, could lower their pain levels. I teach you ways to lower pain levels such as through learning to relax your mind and body, focusing on other things for periods of time, learning different ways of doing things, and pacing yourself through tasks. I also help people manage the other problems that come with chronic pain or illness, like sleep problems, changes in the way you see yourself, fears and anxiety, depression, and issues that can arise in your relationships.

Chronic Pain
Chelsie Ciminelli
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Holistic Health Practitioner
I support individuals navigating the emotional and psychological challenges of living with chronic illness, chronic pain, fatigue, or ongoing health concerns. Chronic illness can profoundly affect your sense of identity, relationships, independence, and connection with your body, often bringing grief, fear, frustration, anxiety, or a sense of losing the life you once imagined. In addition to supporting the emotional impact of illness, I offer integrative mind-body and somatic modalities that explore the deeper emotional patterns, unresolved experiences, and underlying factors that may be contributing to or interacting with your physical symptoms and overall well-being. Together, we work to cultivate greater nervous-system regulation, self-compassion, body awareness, and trust while honoring the complexity of your individual healing journey.

JHC Therapy - Judy Hakiel-Calcaterra
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Licensed Mental Health Therapist
Chronic pain counseling focuses on helping individuals cope with the ongoing challenges that come with living in pain. Chronic pain can affect so much more than just physical health, it often impacts mood, relationships, daily functioning, and overall emotional well-being.
In counseling, we work together to address both the physical and emotional toll chronic pain can take. The goal is to develop coping strategies, build resilience, and find ways to improve quality of life while navigating the realities of living with long-term pain.
16 Years Experience
Online in Gainesville, FL
Gainesville is home to the University of Florida, one of the largest universities in the United States by enrollment, and the city's character and mental health landscape are overwhelmingly shaped by this—a huge, young student population with significant academic, social, and identity-related mental health needs, supported by one of Florida's most comprehensive university counseling systems. UF Health Shands Hospital provides one of the state's strongest behavioral health services, making Gainesville an important regional resource for psychiatric care across north Florida. The population dynamic creates a city that is both progressive and college-town oriented, surrounded by a more rural north Florida context, and therapists in Gainesville work across a wide range of populations and presenting concerns. Common therapy concerns include academic stress, identity development, anxiety, substance use, young adult life transitions, and the particular challenges of a college community navigating mental health support often for the first time.
