Getting to know Carol Afonso

I’m a compassionate mental health therapist and Registered Clinical Social Worker Intern (RCSWI) in Florida who works with children, adolescents, and adults. I support clients navigating anxiety, depression, emotional regulation challenges, trauma, self-esteem concerns, and life transitions, and I offer therapy in both English and Portuguese. My approach is collaborative, strengths-based, and tailored to each client’s unique needs. I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based interventions, and Motivational Interviewing to help clients better understand their emotions, build practical coping skills, and create meaningful change. I believe therapy works best when it feels safe, supportive, and judgment-free—where you can show up exactly as you are. My goal is to help clients feel empowered, gain clarity, and develop tools that support long-term emotional growth and resilience.
