Individual Therapy
Therapy works best when it fits you — your pace, your history, and what you actually want to change. At Better Day Therapy, individual sessions are grounded in evidence-based approaches while remaining flexible enough to meet you where you are. Whether you’re dealing with something acute or working through patterns that have been present for years, there is a path forward.
What to Expect
Sessions are 50 - 60 minutes and can take place in person at the Edgewater office or via telehealth for clients anywhere in Florida. The first session is an intake — a chance to talk through what’s brought you to therapy, what you’ve tried before, and what you’re hoping to get out of the process. From there, we build a treatment approach around your specific goals. There is no single way to do therapy. Some people come with a specific issue they want to address. Others come knowing something isn’t working but aren’t sure what. Both are fine starting points.
Areas of Focus
Anxiety
Anxiety shows up differently for different people — chronic worry, avoidance, panic, physical tension, or the sense that you’re always braced for something to go wrong. Therapy for anxiety focuses on understanding the patterns that keep it going and building skills to interrupt them. Approaches include CBT, ACT, and exposure-based work when appropriate.
Trauma and EMDR Therapy
Traumatic experiences — including single events, repeated harm, childhood adversity, and relational trauma — can leave lasting effects on mood, relationships, and how safe the world feels. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based trauma treatment with a strong research base. It does not require you to talk through the details of what happened in order to work.
OCD and Related Conditions
OCD involves intrusive, unwanted thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors or mental acts (compulsions) that provide temporary relief but maintain the cycle over time. The gold-standard treatment is Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) — a structured approach that reduces the power of obsessions without relying on reassurance or avoidance. ERP is available at Better Day Therapy.
Depression
Depression affects motivation, concentration, sleep, and the ability to find meaning or pleasure in daily life. It often involves a narrowing of behavior that reinforces low mood over time. Therapy for depression includes behavioral activation, cognitive work, and identifying the life circumstances or relationship patterns that may be contributing.
Life Transitions
Therapy does not require a diagnosis or crisis. Many people come to address a transition — a career change, relationship shift, loss, or the sense of being stuck — and benefit from a structured, confidential space to think things through with professional support.
