Ian feels worried about his mental health since he graduated from college last year. Despite his achievement, he doesn’t feel proud— he’s worried. Ian’s not sure what he should do next with his life. Instead of being excited to spend time with family or to travel, he feels dejected. Talking to loved ones about what’s bothering him hasn’t eliminated his feelings.
Last night at dinner, he took some time to consider his feelings. Though at first, he felt resistant to the idea, Ian knows that it’s time to talk with a psychologist about his stress level. He also knows that many are available online, which would help him connect, without tying him down as he figures out his next steps. Leo likes the idea of professional assistance and being able to meet with someone to help him set life goals sounds helpful, too.
Leo’s experience may resonate with you—if it does, consider whether you could benefit from talking to a psychologist about what’s troubling you. At Thriveworks in Clearwater, FL our team of psychologists can offer you their support and insight as you navigate the mental health challenges in front of you.
What Does a Psychologist Do? Can They Help Me?
Psychologists are experienced mental health professionals who often hold advanced degrees and can use many different forms of therapeutic approaches to assist clients. Their job is to assist their clients through in-person or virtual therapy sessions. Clients work together with their psychologist to identify goals to meet, and weaknesses to improve on for the client’s benefit.

- Relationship problems
- Child or teen behavioral issues
- Grief and bereavement
- Financial or work-related stress

These are just a few of the many different topics that our mental health professionals can assist you with. Don’t be concerned if your specific problem or concern isn’t being addressed in this list.
