Amelia Flower , LMHC

Amelia Flower earned her master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from Walden University in 2014 and is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida. She also serves as a Qualified Supervisor for registered counselor interns, is a Certified Correctional Healthcare Professional, and holds certifications in Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Mindfulness.

Her current role is Licensed Mental Health Specialty Coordinator within the county jail system, where her work has focused on adult offenders and the complex clinical needs that present in correctional settings. Over the course of her career she has addressed suicidality and self-harm, psychosis, conflict and anger, depression and anxiety, homelessness and substance use, trauma and personality disorders, as well as performing risk assessments related to involuntary psychiatric treatment.

Clinically she combines motivational interviewing to build rapport with evidence-based interventions such as DBT, mindfulness practices, grounding techniques for acute distress, and cognitive behavioral therapy to identify triggers and develop practical coping skills. Her correctional experience also includes conflict-resolution and anger management counseling along with medication education for individuals presenting with psychosis.

Amelia’s therapeutic style emphasizes empathy, compassion, ethical boundaries, and a client-centered pace that helps patients connect past experiences to current behaviors. She values existential approaches to goal setting and creating a roadmap for the future, and often cites the quote "Feel the fear and do it anyway" as encouragement for taking the first step in self-care. Please note that at this time she offers online chat and messaging services only.

Integrating therapeutic approaches for effective online care

Amelia integrates cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and mindfulness techniques into her work. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thought patterns and build practical strategies to manage depression and anxiety. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) focuses on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be particularly helpful for intense moods, impulsivity, and relationship challenges. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and grounding practices that support coping with acute distress and trauma-related symptoms.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Amelia works with each person to explore goals, preferences, and needs, and then tailors interventions so that therapy aligns with the client’s values and pace. This partnership helps ensure that methods are both useful and sustainable.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility for many people. Video calls and phone sessions allow for face-to-face conversation when desired, while live chat and text-based messaging can provide timely check-ins, skills practice between sessions, and easier scheduling around busy or unpredictable lives. For those navigating life changes, work demands, or mobility limitations, these options support continuity of care and make regular therapeutic work more manageable.
