ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS
Relationships don’t fall apart overnight. They erode in the small moments—misunderstandings, emotional distance, recurring arguments, or the sense that you’re trying but still missing each other. If you and your partner are ready to slow down, understand what’s really happening between you, and build something more intentional, I offer a space designed for exactly that.
I work with couples who want more than quick fixes. My approach is steady, relational, and grounded in helping you understand the deeper patterns that shape how you show up with one another. Together, we look at the emotional cycles you get stuck in, the unmet needs beneath conflict, and the ways each of you learned to protect yourselves long before this relationship began.
Whether you’re navigating recurring conflict, emotional disconnection, betrayal, or simply want to strengthen your foundation, therapy can help you understand each other in a new way and create a relationship that feels more secure, connected, and intentional.
I’m a good fit for couples who value depth, reflection, and a calm, grounded therapeutic space. Many of the couples I work with are thoughtful, sensitive, and motivated to understand themselves—not just “fix” the other person.
Reaching out is often the hardest step. If you’re looking for a private‑pay couples therapist in Beaufort who also offers extended sessions and intensives, I’d be glad to talk with you about what you’re hoping for and help you determine the best next step.

Dr. John E. N. Daniel
Marriage and Family Therapist, EdD; EdS; MA; MA; LCMFT#0404011018; BCCLC#0131
I utilize "eclectic/integrated" approaches for clients in need of life change. Some of my specialties include: life coaching, marriage/couple & family therapy, anger/career management, depression, anxiety and PTSD. We provide a safe, trusted & confidential client environment. I help clients improve their stress management, coping skills, work-life balance and emotional stability. Many desire "inner healing" from life crisis situations. I also guide clients seeking direction, transformation and accountability by helping them to self-discover their core values, destiny, life purpose, sense of worth, creativity and untapped potential.

Tori Buckley
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
I mostly work with clients living and loving in unconventional ways (including artists, entrepreneurs, highly sensitive people & spiritual types) and work to cultivate a safe place for all people, most frequently working with clients in queer, ethically non-monogamous, & kinky relationships. Most of my clients are wanting to work on issues mostly unrelated to but within the context of these communities and lifestyles, and are tired of spending so much time explaining the context to therapists unfamiliar with their world. I also work with folks looking to explore these aspects of themselves for the first time.

Layla Ashley Psychotherapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Relationships can bring our deepest joy, but they can also surface painful patterns. If you and your partner find yourselves caught in the same arguments, struggling to truly hear one another, or feeling emotionally distant, you’re not alone. Many couples reach a point where communication breaks down and the connection they once felt begins to feel strained or uncertain. Sometimes earlier life experiences, family patterns, or stressors quietly shape the way we relate, making it harder to stay close even when the love is still there.
With more than two decades of experience working with couples, I help partners slow down the cycle of conflict and understand what’s really happening beneath the surface. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in relational and attachment-based work. I support couples in developing healthier communication, repairing emotional wounds, and building a stronger foundation of trust and intimacy. I’m also particularly attuned to the needs of highly sensitive people and those who want a thoughtful, depth-oriented approach to relationship growth.
Whether you’re preparing for a deeper commitment, working to repair trust after a rupture, or trying to rediscover connection after years together, therapy can offer a meaningful path forward. I also support individuals navigating dating, heartbreak, or relationship transitions. Together we’ll work toward clearer communication, emotional safety, and a relationship that feels more conscious, supportive, and alive.
If you’d like to explore whether this work might be a good fit, feel free to reach out to schedule a complimentary consultation.

Amira Doucette
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, LLP, NCC
I've exclusively practiced telehealth since 2015, and have been a psychotherapist for over 25 years. During this time, I've been fortunate enough to have worked with clients from all over the world. As I've helped with their concerns, I repeatedly find the single most important conduit to change is the relationship we forge in therapy. In this relationship I am without judgment: I am respectful, understanding, and accepting.

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.
