Hi, I’m Vanessa Stein, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Qualified Supervisor in the state of Florida. I’m so glad you’re here.

I offer virtual therapy in Florida to adults 18+, and I specialize in supporting caregivers, health professionals/students, therapists, military personnel, and first responders. People who are always taking care of others and rarely stop to care for themselves. Many of my clients don’t realize how deeply stress and trauma have taken a toll until sleep, anger, or intrusive memories start interfering with daily life.

I use a trauma-informed, body-based, behavioral approach to help you regulate your nervous system, cope with distress, and reconnect with your own needs. Together, we’ll work on building self-awareness, restoring balance, and letting go of the belief that your worth depends on how much you do for others. If you’re seeking a therapist who understands what it means to hold space for others, I’d be honored to work with you.

As a Florida native, surfing has always been a powerful metaphor for me. I think of therapy like balancing on a surfboard, trying to stay grounded while riding a powerful wave. Some moments call for radical acceptance, others invite bold change. Therapy, like surfing, takes presence, resilience, and the willingness to get back up when the wave crashes. I’m here to help you ride those waves with greater strength, skill, and support.

In addition to therapy, I provide clinical supervision for registered social work interns and consultation for licensed therapists. I also facilitate professional development workshops focused on emotional wellness, resilience, and enhancing clinical skills.

My practice is fully virtual, making it accessible to clients throughout the state of Florida. Whether you're in Orlando, Jacksonville, Pensacola, Tampa, or a small rural town, virtual therapy in Florida allows us to meet wherever you are, both literally and emotionally. No commute, no waiting room, just a secure and supportive space to show up as you are. (Pajamas are perfectly OK with me).

As you explore my site, you’ll find more about my therapy services, areas of specialization, and the people I support. My goal is to create a space where those who serve others can heal, grow, and sustain fulfilling careers while prioritizing their own radical care.
