About
As a Registered Nurse and Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I recognize how stress, anxiety and depression can be affected by an acute or chronic illness.
I’m an RN and LCSW with experience in community mental health, medical social work, and group therapy. I work with adults 18+ and seniors 65+ who are navigating life transitions, stress, anxiety, or simply need a supportive place to talk things through. I also provide therapy to those in the medical field, experiencing burnout and compassion fatigue. I am especially interested in clients facing eating disorders, grief and loss as well as looking at career change.
Clients describe me as approachable, caring, and practical. My goal is to create a safe space where you feel comfortable sharing your story without fear of judgment. I use CBT, cognitive behavioral therapy, SFBT, solution focused brief therapy as well as a strengths based approach in therapy. I believe healing starts with being heard. In our sessions, you’ll have space to tell your story, share what brought you to therapy, and explore new perspectives.
My style is collaborative and supportive — I’ll help you reframe unhelpful thoughts, practice practical coping skills like journaling and mindfulness, and problem-solve to create realistic solutions for your future. I became a therapist after working as an RN for many years. I realized that I was interested in exploring a client's back story regarding stress. I am a dog lover, and also enjoy going to the gym, and watching documentaries.

Therapy isn’t just about understanding your patterns. It’s about learning how to stop letting them run the show.
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who specializes in working with LGBTQIA+ adults navigating anxiety, overthinking, people-pleasing, relationship concerns, boundaries, and self-doubt. Many of my clients are self-aware people who understand their patterns logically but still find themselves stuck in them, whether that means replaying conversations, worrying about disappointing others, or struggling to trust themselves.
My approach is warm, collaborative, affirming, and direct.. I earned my Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Adams State University. I integrate CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing, solution-focused therapy, Brainspotting, and nervous-system-based approaches based on each client's individual needs.
Therapy with me is a space where you don't have to perform, have the "right" answer, or have everything figured out. Together, you'll work toward understanding yourself, trusting yourself, and making choices that actually feel like yours.
Together, we will become a healing team and will partner in what will be a holistic, personalized, creative plan that is designed ...

Patricia Glynn is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 8 years of experience in mental health care. She believes there's no such thing as a "one size fits all" approach; therefore, she incorporates a variety of techniques based on who you are and what you need. She is here to gently push you out of your comfort zone and toward your goals. She seeks to be supportive and compassionate, yet also straightforward and frank, as needed, to ensure you make good progress and don’t stay stuck. Her goal is to help you develop new skills and insights that will help you create a life you love.
As a mental health counselor, Patricia tries her best to be the supportive teammate she would want—someone genuine, direct, and honest. She uses humor, is strength-based, and is straightforward when working with clients to collaboratively identify challenges and strategies to address them. She continues to learn about fitness, mental health, and nutrition.
Life is stressful. Now more than ever. Together, you and Patricia can find solutions to help you navigate the difficulties of being human. Along the way, you may laugh, you may cry, but you will definitely learn many new things about yourself as you partner to build you a more meaningful, purpose-filled life—one you're excited to wake up to each day.

I believe true healing blossoms when we deeply listen to both the mind and body, nurturing every part of who you are to foster sustainable well-being.
Hello, I'm Marie Joassaint, a dual board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) and Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP-BC) with over 15 years of progressive healthcare experience, including 7 years as a PMHNP. My background in acute care informs a deeply comprehensive approach to mental wellness, recognizing the intricate connection between mind and body. I partner with children, adolescents, adults, and older adults navigating anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and trauma who are seeking integrated care addressing their complete physical and emotional landscape to achieve sustainable healing and resilience.
My method blends comprehensive psychiatric assessment with understanding your physical health. I specialize in pharmacotherapy, crisis intervention, and therapeutic communication. I guide you to participate in building personalized care plans. Expect clear explanations, shared decision-making, and genuine partnership.
I understand reaching out for support is a significant step, and I honor your courage. You're not alone on this journey; I'm here to provide a safe, empathetic space where your concerns are genuinely heard and your path to healing is thoughtfully guided. I look forward to connecting with you and exploring how we can achieve your well-being goals.

As one who has experienced many adverse life experiences, I have a deep understanding of the impact and what it takes to rise above the challenges and overcome whatever obstacles life throws at us.
I am a very experienced, compassionate, and skilled clinician. I have a Master’s in Mental Health Counseling and a Bachelor’s in Psychology. I have been licensed since 2007. I understand how early life events can shape identity and coping strategies and how these can play out to influence current situations. I am adept at helping clients gain insight and resolve past issues to prevent them from continuing to negatively impact the current situation and future events. I help clients find freedom from negative influences of the past and develop healthier and more adaptive perspectives that allow them to be the person they want to be.
I use Psychodynamic and Cognitive Behavioral strategies to help clients gain understanding into how defense mechanisms and beliefs are influencing their relationships with themselves, others, and the world around them. I use EMDR when clients are aware of a negative impact from past experiences or trauma and haven’t been able to overcome the negative effect.
I hope to get to know and understand you, offer new insights and perspectives, and help you move through any unresolved past hurts. I believe that therapy should produce significant and lasting improvements. I have a deep and sincere faith and hope this is evident in our therapeutic relationship. Schedule an appointment and I will meet you where you’re at.
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.

Eating disorder therapy is a specialized approach aimed at assisting those who are grappling with a range of eating disorders. These disorders are significant mental health conditions characterized by irregular or unhealthy eating patterns and an intense focus on body weight and shape. Common conditions addressed in Eating disorders include anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge-eating disorder, and avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID).
At Thriveworks, Eating disorders begins with a thorough assessment and personalized treatment plan. Central to eating disorder therapy is psychotherapy, often employing cognitive behavioral therapy and other specialized techniques to target negative thought patterns.
The signs of an eating disorder can include:
CBT’s remission rate, according to some research, is generally between 50-30% for those seeking assistance for eating disorder symptoms.
The recovery rate for those seeking assistance with eating disorders depends entirely on the individual’s involvement in sessions, the severity of their symptoms, and their willingness to change their eating habits and relationship with food.
Eating disorder therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The length of Eating disorders will vary from one person to the next, dependent on their specific needs. Your therapist can help to determine what might be most beneficial for you.
While around 30 million people in the US suffer from eating disorders like anorexia and bulimia, many of them don’t get help for these potentially fatal disorders, suffering in silence instead. Thriveworks Orlando Counseling wants to change that.
We have anorexia and bulimia counselors as well as other eating disorder therapists who can step in and help those who are suffering from these conditions. If you are exhibiting symptoms of anorexia, bulimia, or another mental illness, please consider reaching out to Thriveworks Orlando.
Our team of eating disorder therapists at Thriveworks Orlando are here to help you recover.
The ill effects of eating disorders tend to linger; sometimes they even last for a lifetime. The body has to have nutrients to function properly—if these nutrients are denied, the body will malfunction and this will cause a host of problems as well as illnesses and diseases like scurvy, hypertension, and even cardiovascular disease.
The act of purging itself poses a risk; regurgitated food can become a stuck in the throat and cut off the oxygen supply. Those who suffer from eating disorders also tend to carry emotional scars, scars that cause an endless cycle of guilt, shame, and depression.
Are you in Orlando, suffering from an eating disorder? This is a problem you don’t have to face alone. Please consider reaching out to Thriveworks Orlando Counseling. We have counselors who know what you are going through and are capable of helping you deal with it through proper guidance and support.
Contact our office today to meet with one of our eating disorder therapists—give us a call or schedule online to get started.
