One-on-One Therapy for Anxiety, Body Image, OCD, ADHD, and Life’s Stressors
For when you’re functioning, but not “fine”
Maybe you’re keeping up with work, school, parenting, relationships, and the million tiny things everyone expects from you. From the outside, it might look like you’re doing okay.
But inside, it feels like your brain will not stop, your body is tense, your emotions feel bigger than they “should,” or you’re exhausted from trying to hold it all together.
Individual therapy gives you space to slow down, make sense of what’s been happening, and build tools that actually fit your life.
Temperance Psychotherapy offers individual therapy for adolescents and adults in-person in Longwood, FL and virtually throughout Florida.
What Individual Therapy Can Help With
Individual therapy can be helpful if you’re dealing with:
Anxiety, overthinking, or panic
OCD thoughts, compulsions, or reassurance-seeking
Body image struggles or disordered eating
High-functioning ADHD
Perfectionism and people-pleasing
Depression, low motivation, or feeling stuck
Life transitions
Relationship stress
Trauma, emotional overwhelm, or feeling disconnected from yourself
You do not need to be in crisis to start therapy. You also do not need to have the perfect words for what’s wrong.
Sometimes the starting point is simply:
“I know I don’t want to keep feeling like this.”
My Approach
Therapy that is collaborative, practical, and very human
I do not believe therapy should feel like someone silently nodding at you for 45 minutes while you wonder if you’re doing it “right.”
My style is active, warm, and collaborative. I’ll ask questions, offer reflections, teach skills when they’re useful, and tell you when I think we may be getting close to something important.
I also believe you are the expert on your own life. My job is not to tell you who to be. My job is to help you understand yourself more clearly, build tools that make sense for you, and support you in moving toward a life that feels less ruled by anxiety, shame, avoidance, or self-criticism.
In our work together,
I may use approaches from:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Trauma-informed therapy
Skills-based and insight-oriented work
Translation: we will talk, but we will also
do something with what we talk about.
What Sessions Might Look Like
Individual therapy may include:
Understanding patterns in your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors
Learning how anxiety, OCD, ADHD, or eating disorder thoughts show up for you
Building coping skills that work outside of session
Practicing boundaries and communication
Challenging perfectionism and all-or-nothing thinking
Reducing avoidance
Working on body image and self-trust
Processing difficult experiences at a pace that feels manageable
Figuring out what you actually want, not just what everyone expects from you
Some sessions may feel practical and skills-based. Some may feel more reflective. Some may include humor, because sometimes laughing at the absurdity of the human brain is the only reasonable option.
