Clear Connections Counseling, LLC

Licensed Mental Health Counselor
FL Lic.# MH13798

I’m passionate about supporting clients as they discover the self-compassion needed to heal and grow. With over 12 years of experience in Tampa Bay, I provide a warm, supportive, and culturally sensitive environment, honoring each person’s unique strengths and life experiences. My approach is client-centered, empowering resilience, and I offer therapy in both English and Russian.

My Approach to Therapy

I meet each individual where they are, offering compassion, understanding, validation, and encouragement. I take a collaborative approach, partnering with clients to create personalized goals and treatment plans that celebrate individuality. I also think creatively, tailoring strategies to meet the unique needs of each person.

What to Expect in Your First Session

Sessions last about 50 minutes and focus on your immediate needs and long-term goals. Together, we may outline a plan for upcoming sessions and, if helpful, include exercises or “homework” to support your growth between visits.
