About J. Phyllis Brannen

I am a Florida Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Addictions Professional with 22 years experience in Private Practice, a Community Mental Health Center and an Alzheimer’s Foundation. I have worked with mental health issues and addictions; caregivers and care-receivers; as well as clients dealing with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma, abuse, ADHD and numerous other concerns.

My counseling style is interactive and responsive. Together, we will explore your challenges, build your coping skills and find solutions that work. My approach is eclectic, combining many aspects, including empowerment, cognitive and behavioral elements. Your counseling will respond to your unique individual needs.

Your interest in counseling implies that you have the courage to change and grow. That is all you need to seek a happier, more fulfilling future. I am here to support and encourage you on this exciting journey!
