Online therapy across Florida

The same therapy offered in the Jacksonville Beach office, over secure video — for adults anywhere in Florida, from Pensacola to Key West.

How online therapy works

Telehealth sessions work like office sessions: the same 50 minutes, the same therapist, the same pace — minus the drive. You’ll receive a link, join from a private space, and meet by secure video. Because Mandy is licensed in Florida (LMHC), you need to be physically located in Florida at the time of your session.

Is online therapy as effective as in person?

For many common concerns — including anxiety and depression — research finds outcomes from video-based therapy comparable to in-person care. What predicts success is the same in both formats: a good fit with your therapist and consistent attendance. And when something genuinely calls for in-person or higher-level care, Mandy says so plainly and helps you find it.

What people use online therapy for

Who it fits

Telehealth suits packed schedules, new mothers, anyone who values not being seen in a waiting room, part-year residents while they’re in Florida, and everyone outside Northeast Florida — Tampa, Orlando, Miami, St. Augustine, Gainesville, Tallahassee, and every town between. If you’re local to the Beaches, the Jacksonville Beach office is here too, and many clients mix both.

What you need

  • A private space where you can talk freely
  • A phone, tablet, or computer with a camera and a stable connection
  • To be located in Florida at the time of the session

Practical details

Common questions

Online therapy in Florida, answered plainly

Is online therapy as effective as in-person therapy?

For many common concerns, including anxiety and depression, research finds comparable outcomes. Fit and consistency matter more than the format — and you can switch between video and the Jacksonville Beach office as life requires.

Do I have to live in Florida?

You need to be physically located in Florida at the time of each session — that’s how state licensure works. If you split time between states, sessions are scheduled for when you’re in Florida.

Can eating disorders be treated online?

Often, yes — outpatient eating disorder therapy translates well to telehealth, and Mandy has 15 years of specialty experience. When symptoms call for in-person or higher-level care, she’ll be direct about it and help you connect with the right program.

What if telehealth isn’t a good fit for me?

Then the office is. Summit Shores sees clients in person at 931 3rd Street N in Jacksonville Beach — and if what you need is a different level of care entirely, Mandy will help you find it.
