She works with preteens, teens, young adults who have experienced trauma, and adults facing life transitions.

She creates a warm, trauma-informed space where safety and empowerment come first. Sessions focus on practical skills for regulating emotions and building resilience. Conversations are direct and compassionate, aimed at spotting what’s helping and what needs to change.

Clients often come feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure what to do next. Markita helps them break those feelings into manageable steps. She guides people toward clearer goals and healthier habits that fit daily life.

Her approach blends practical tools with steady support so change feels doable. Work may include examining attachment patterns, addressing caregiver stress, or reducing isolation and loneliness. Forgiveness, self-love, and repairing communication are also areas she addresses.

Markita brings four years of counseling experience in Florida to her practice. She encourages anyone ready to try therapy to reach out and begin with a few small steps. Starting therapy is framed as a partnership where the person’s pace and goals shape the work.

How evidence-based techniques can help online

Many therapists use evidence-based therapeutic techniques that aim to reduce symptoms and teach practical skills. One common approach focuses on emotion regulation and coping skills, teaching concrete strategies to manage anxiety, low mood, and stress. This kind of work helps when strong feelings feel overwhelming and interfere with daily routines.

Another helpful approach looks at the impact of past experiences on present patterns, including attachment and trauma-related responses. It involves noticing repeated reactions, understanding where they come from, and practicing different ways of relating and responding. This can be useful for people dealing with the long-term effects of adverse childhood experiences or ongoing relationship strain.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to figure out which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying strategies, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together over time.

For practical matters, confirm current session options before booking since specific formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make fitting sessions into a busy life easier by reducing travel and allowing appointments around school or work. It also supports shorter check-ins when needed and gives flexibility for people managing caregiving or irregular schedules.
