As someone who has encountered many obstacles, my experiences have taught me that strength is often discovered in life's most difficult moments; this is why I believe that feeling genuinely seen, heard, and supported are foundational tools to true healing.
Hello, my name is Katrice Anderson, and I am a licensed mental health therapist with a master's degree. I am passionate about helping individuals navigate life's challenges and discover their strengths in a supportive, nonjudgmental environment. I work with adults, adolescents, and children experiencing anxiety, depression, life transitions, stress, self-esteem challenges, relationship difficulties, family conflict, and trauma-related issues. Many of my clients have found themselves feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected—seeking to be seen and heard, wanting guidance, and hoping to build coping strategies and trust themselves.
My approach is compassionate and evidence-based, incorporating strengths-based approaches and tailoring treatment to fit each client's needs. I create a safe space where clients can openly explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences while developing practical tools to cope with challenges and achieve meaningful change.
Whether you are seeking self-understanding, emotional healing, or healthier coping strategies, I would like to support you on your journey. Your experiences and challenges matter, and taking the first step is a courageous act of self-care. I am committed to meeting you where you are with empathy and encouragement as we work toward lasting positive change.

As a therapist who works with children, teens, and families, I strive to create a supportive space where you feel understood, respected, and comfortable being your authentic self. I believe therapy should be a place where you can feel heard without judgment and have someone beside you as you work through life’s challenges.
I am a Registered Clinical Social Work Intern with 2 years of experience working in outpatient, school, community mental health, and telehealth settings. I have worked with clients ages 5–17, including children, teens, and families. I specialize in anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, self-esteem, stress, and life transitions. My passion for therapy comes from my belief that everyone deserves a safe space where they can feel heard, understood, and supported without judgment. I strive to help clients feel comfortable being their authentic selves while building the coping skills and confidence they need.
I provide a warm, culturally sensitive, and person-centered approach, drawing from CBT, DBT, strengths-based techniques, play therapy, and mindfulness. I tailor therapy to each client’s needs, helping children, teens, and families build coping skills, confidence, and healthier ways to manage anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions.
I’m here to meet you where you are, listen without judgment, and support you at your own pace. Taking the first step toward therapy can feel difficult, but you deserve support and a space where you feel understood. When you’re ready, I invite you to schedule an appointment and take that first step toward feeling more supported.

Hello! My name is Sara and I am a registered mental health counselor intern with a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Jacksonville University and a Bachelor of Science in Sociology from the University of Central Florida. I work with children, adolescents, young adults, and adults navigating depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, life transitions, self-esteem concerns, or other challenges. My goal is to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard and understood while working together to develop meaningful goals, build coping skills, and create positive changes in their lives.
My approach to therapy is person-centered, strength-based, and collaborative. I incorporate CBT, DBT, Emotion-Focused Therapy, and Gestalt techniques to help clients understand their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. I support clients in building self-awareness, developing coping skills, and recognizing their strengths.
Starting therapy can feel like a big step, especially if mental health was rarely discussed in your family or community. You do not have to navigate everything on your own. I hope to provide a space where you feel safe and understood. I am here to meet you with compassion and without judgment. When you feel ready, I invite you to schedule an appointment.
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.

Family therapy helps families resolve conflicts and strengthen their relationships. It is led by qualified mental health professionals like psychologists, licensed professional counselors (LPCs), and licensed clinical social workers (LCSWs) who have extensive training in family dynamics and group communication.
Thriveworks family therapists in Miami, FL usually begin by asking what everyone’s goals are for family counseling. Family members may need help with very specific issues or with general relationship functioning. But there are three main purposes in family counseling: to educate, to counsel, and to strengthen. Thriveworks also offers online family therapy and in-person services, so you may all meet in an office together or join a video call from your home depending on everyone’s location and availability.
The most effective form of Family therapy will often depend on the family itself, as there are many types of family therapy for therapists to use as they see fit in order to best meet the needs of their clients. However, one of the most commonly used types of family therapy is structural family therapy (SFT). SFT focuses specifically on family dynamics and interactions, looking at how they shape the relationships and structure present in the family. It can be effectively used to treat a variety of concerns.
This answer often looks different to each family that starts family therapy. However, some signs that your family might need to consider family counseling include frequent fights or misunderstandings, constant tension, experiencing loss, behavioral issues, marital issues, divorce, and blended family issues, among others.
In family therapy, therapists will often start by asking questions and assessing individual and family dynamics. From there, they may employ therapeutic techniques such as structured family therapy, CBT, strategic family therapy, and more depending on the present concerns and conflicts. From there, a therapist will work to open lines of communication between family members and facilitate emotional healing and growth.
Family therapy can be incredibly successful, with some studies reporting a success rate of almost 90% for improving participants’ emotional and mental health, and around 66% for improving their physical health.
Thriveworks therapists in Miami, FL offer both online family therapy and in-person family therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Family therapy is usually short term and solution-focused, with most families accomplishing their goals in 12 sessions or fewer. However, it can also last for longer if the probles at hand are more complex — and that’s okay, too.
Includes individual, couples, child/ teen, & family therapy
