Affordable Counseling Center is offering phone counseling and online counseling in Brandon Fl. & Tampa Fl.
With Covid 19 there is an increase in stress, anxiety, depression, couples are arguing more, families are confined to their homes. Online counseling and phone counseling are ways to talk with  a therapist in a safe way to resolve the issues you are having. Our counselors have found that online counseling and phone counseling is just as effective as in person counseling in the therapist’s office.  It is more convenient and our therapists are complying to HIPPA rules. They are doing their online counseling and phone counseling sessions in a room in their home behind a closed door.  When you do your online counseling or phone counseling you may want to make sure you do not have any distractions such as deliveries, phone calls from work or your clients.  All insurance companies have allowed online counseling and phone counseling sessions to be billed so all you have to pay is your co pay.

Change Can Be Difficult, Therapy Doesn’t Have To

At times, we all develop ineffective patterns of behavior, some of which are unconscious & keep us from solving problems & being the best we can be. Things happen in life that seem to throw us off our game, or set us back a bit, so to speak. Emotional flexibility is the key to a happier, healthier more complete life. The goal is to help you resolve whatever difficulties are keeping you from living a more authentic, joyful & fulfilled life with yourself, your spouse or partner, or your family. Couples counseling, or marriage and family therapy can be helpful in resolving a number of issues while helping to bring each individual involved a sense of awareness and midfulness with the tools we as therapists help provide to take with you and practice outside of the therapeutic session.

Relationship and family counseling offers you a place to process these kinds of life changes, allowing you to express your concerns while maintaining emotional safety.  Therapy is about creating a safe space that allows for emotional expression from  partners while guiding the communication in a way that helps all hear and process those messages from each other with less defensiveness and increased empathy.
