Our Counselors & Supporters

Hello, I’m Jessica, a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) in Florida. I specialize in trauma and anxiety treatment for adults ages 14 and older.  I am EMDR and PE (Prolonged Exposure) Certified, an IOCDF BTTI Completer, and SPACE trained by Eli Leibowitz.

If you have gotten this far, then you understand how much trauma and/or anxiety can impact a person’s ability to find joy. Our minds can be our own worst bully. I work with clients overwhelmed with OCD, Phobias, Agoraphobias, Panic, BII (Blood, injury, & injection) Phobias, BFRBs, Social Anxiety, Insomnia, OCPD, and trauma. I use evidenced-based practices such as ERP, iCBT, ACT, SPACE, ComB, EMDR, PE, CPT, and CBT therapies. 

Experiencing anxiety and trauma, can leave one feeling tired and frustrated. Having anxiety and trauma is difficult. You may feel  like when you have a handle on one, the other starts to rear its ugly head!  Because of this you may feel too irritable or too exhausted to deal with social situations or friends. You may spend a lot of time thinking through how to handle everyday situations because it feels unsafe. Each situation presents another battle with how much you can handle. It just feels like your mind is always "on."  If sounds familiar, I can help you find relief.  Trauma and anxiety is my driving focus.

I understand how important it is for you to find relief and healing from the distress of anxiety and trauma. I hope that Invictus Counseling is the start of a journey for you. Please reach out.

Hi! My name is Beth,

I’m a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) in the state of Florida. I work with teens, young adults, and adults navigating attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, traumatic stress, anxiety disorders, mood disorders, personality disorders, relationship concerns, identity development, and life transitions. I am committed to providing an affirming, inclusive space for individuals of all identities. 

If you’re someone who appears okay and functional on the outside but internally feels like your mind rarely turns off, like you’re constantly bracing for the next thing to go wrong, you’re not alone. You overthink conversations, replay decisions, and carry responsibilities that don’t always feel visible to others. Past experiences, expectations, relationships, and other people’s needs add up. You’ve learned how to function the best you can while carrying that weight, but that doesn't mean it isn’t heavy. And it doesn’t have to stay heavy. 

Reaching out for therapy is not a small decision. If you’ve learned to rely on yourself, trust may not come easily and that makes sense. Often, your mind and body adapt in order to stay safe. Therapy should respect that. My goal is to create a space where your nervous system can settle, because when you’re regulated there is room for joy, love, and genuine connection - both within yourself and in the world around you. 

My approach is trauma informed, conversational, grounded in evidence-based practice and cultural humility. But more than that, therapy with me is intentional. We will identify patterns that keep you stuck, introduce habits that gently shift those patterns, build practical tools to regulate your nervous system, and create meaningful change - while also fostering compassion, curiosity, and care for the parts of you that learned to survive. You don’t have to carry everything alone.

Hi, I’m Kelly, 

 I’m really glad you’re here. Reaching out for support can feel overwhelming, whether you’re struggling yourself or worried about your child. Maybe anxiety feels constant, panic shows up unexpectedly, or you’re noticing patterns that just don’t seem to change. You don’t have to navigate this alone — I’m here to help.

I work with individuals ages 5 and older, including children, teens, adults, as well as families. I am trained in working with OCD, SPACE-informed care (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions), phobias, panic, social anxiety, and body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs), and Eating Disorders. Whether you are an individual looking for support for yourself, or a parent seeking guidance for your child, I tailor therapy to meet your specific needs and goals.

Trained in: 

• iCBT for OCD
• ACT and ERP for Anxiety Disorders
• SPACE (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions) informed
• Eating Disorders trained 
• BFRBS (Hair Pulling and Skin Picking)

I understand that mental health challenges don’t exist in isolation. Anxiety can affect relationships, daily routines, and family dynamics, which is why I support both individuals and caregivers in building skills that encourage confidence, resilience, and connection.

I have extensive experience as a Mobile Response Team (MRT) counselor, where I supported children, teens, and adults during some of their most stressful moments. Working in crisis settings has shaped my approach to be calm, compassionate, and grounded, helping clients feel safe and supported even during difficult times.

I bring a cheerful, collaborative approach to therapy and believe that meaningful change happens when we work together. We will explore what’s going on, talk through treatment options, and create a plan that feels realistic and supportive for you. My goal is for you to feel heard, understood, and empowered as you move forward.

Hi, I’m Alexious (pronounced Ah-lex-sis),

Do your thoughts feel like they never shut off? Are you stuck in behaviors you know aren’t helping but feel impossible to stop? Maybe shame or fear is keeping you from showing up in life the way you want to.

Hi, I’m Alexious Milord, a Registered Clinical Social Worker Intern at Invictus Counseling. I have been in the mental wellness field since 2018. My background includes working with children to adults in large agencies as well as private practice. I work with children, teens, and adults who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, racing thoughts, panic attacks, overbearing fears, and/or trauma. If you’re struggling with OCD, Social Anxiety, or Panic Attacks, I want you to know you're not alone, and it can get better.

I offer an integrated therapeutic approach tailored to each client’s unique needs, using evidence-based techniques like somatic approaches as well as CBT/ERP, iCBT, ACT/DBT, and Solution-Focused Therapy. I help clients who feel stuck, disconnected, or emotionally overwhelmed find clarity, build resilience, and develop practical tools to navigate life’s challenges all within a safe, supportive space. 

I became a therapist because I’ve always felt a deep sense of empathy and purpose in helping others.  Watching someone move from feeling stuck and overwhelmed to making empowered decisions is one of the most fulfilling parts of my job. 

I understand that life’s challenges can feel overwhelming, and reaching out for help takes courage. I’m here to provide a non-judgmental space where we can work together toward healing and growth. If you're ready to explore a healthier life, including mental health wellness, I encourage you to take the next step.
