About Florence
Florence Braithwaite is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida. She has five years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strains, family tensions, and parenting challenges. Her manner is warm and respectful, and she works to tailor each conversation to the person in front of her.
She focuses on practical steps parents and caregivers can use right away. That can mean learning clearer ways to talk with others, finding routines that reduce daily pressure, or building skills to cope when life feels overwhelming.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to be direct and usable, not filled with jargon. Florence adapts her approach to each person’s needs. She listens first, then suggests ways to practice different responses and build momentum.
She also addresses related concerns such as caregiver stress, communication problems, feelings of isolation, and mood shifts. Her work includes helping people sort control issues, manage impulsivity, and practice forgiveness and self-love. Florence frames change as a step-by-step process and checks in often to adjust goals and tools.
She emphasizes small, achievable moves that add up over time. Clients may use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging to connect. Florence helps people who are juggling busy lives find ways to fit therapy into their schedules and move toward more manageable days.
