Vernise Miguel, LMHC

Vernise Miguel is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with three years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, anger, and struggles with addiction. She also has experience addressing life purpose concerns and multicultural issues.

Her sessions are conversational and interactive. She listens to what matters to each person and uses practical tools to address current problems. Conversations often focus on thinking patterns, behaviors, and small steps that produce noticeable change.

Vernise draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered methods, Mindfulness, and Solution-Focused approaches. That means sessions can include noticing thoughts and feelings, identifying unhelpful thinking, learning skills to manage emotions, and setting short-term goals to move forward. She avoids stigmatizing labels and treats people with respect.

Work in therapy is collaborative. Vernise helps people clarify values and try actions that fit those priorities. She uses brief exercises, reflective listening, and concrete homework when it helps the person practice between sessions.

People who come to her often want to stop feeling stuck after a life change, regain confidence, or find clearer direction in work or relationships. She asks practical questions, suggests specific techniques, and follows the pace the person prefers.
