More about Kirby

- LMHC, LPC
I'm a therapist in Florida and South Carolina. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, and burnout, especially people who feel stretched thin, stuck in cycles of worry or self-criticism, or unsure how to get back to feeling like themselves.
My style is warm, collaborative, and practical. I draw on mindfulness-based, compassion-focused, and behavioral approaches to help you notice what's happening in your mind and body, meet yourself with more kindness, and build small, steady changes that fit your real life. Together we'll shape our work around your goals, your pace, and what matters most to you.
Reaching out takes courage, and you can start wherever you are. I offer evening and weekend sessions to make support easier to fit into a full schedule. I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
