Therapists in Tampa, FL

Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or anxious? I believe mental health is about living in the present, healing the past and identifying and moving forward. Many of the clients I see are facing a dilemma of some sort; a potential marriage, divorce, re-marriage, change in career, a family member dying, self-harm issues, substance use issues, anxiety, depression, psychosis, a current trauma, or a past trauma that has re-surfaced.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 16 years of experience working with children 9+, teens, adults, couples and families. In addition to my education I've gained life experience having grown up in a military family and traveling all over the United States as well as throughout Europe, South Africa, and Mexico. I thoroughly enjoy helping people and have a broad base of therapy knowledge including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (Trauma Focused) , Solution Focused, Psychodynamic, Motivational Interviewing, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered, and Mindfulness.

I believe the purpose of therapy is to enhance your quality of life. Sometimes that means addressing a particular crisis or period of emotional distress. Other times, it may be more about developing a deeper understanding of yourself, your relationships, and past experiences. No matter the circumstances that bring you in, good therapy will provide you the space and tools to better understanding your personal values and goals. This understanding allows you to make choices and act in ways that are consistent with what is important to you, ensuring a life that feels meaningful and satisfying.

As director of Psychological services first with St. Joseph's Hospital and now with the Tampa Bay Family Therapy Center I have over 20 years experience working with children and families. I provide individual, group, and family therapy for children with Attention-deficit Hyperactivity disorder, Anxiety disorders, and Aspergers Syndrome. I have developed a comprehensive social skills group program for children with these disorders as well as related behavioral and emotional difficulties. Complete Psychological and Psychoeducational evaluations as well as school consultations are also available for children 4 to 18 years olds.

I’m truly excited for you that you have the courage to step out of your comfort zone and give yourself one of the greatest gifts ever which is investing in your healing and self-growth. I want to help you through past heart-breaks and struggles so you don’t have to carry what’s been bringing you down to the ground. Are you dealing with a break-up? Do you feel lonely? Are you feeling bored and restless with your current life? Do you lack self-esteem? Do flashbacks from the past bring you down?

I remember the first time I decided to seek therapy. I remember the mixed emotions of anxiety, fear, being overwhelmed, not knowing what to look for, or where to go. It can be especially hard if you identify as BIPOC and/or LGBTQIA+. You can rest assured that all of those feelings are valid and normal. Don't let fear prevent you from reaching out for help with the issues you are going through. I am here to hold space for you and offer a supportive, unbiased, non-judgmental environment. I will stand by you on your healing journey as your guide. You don’t have to go through this alone.

Welcome! My name is Carol Rios Soto and I am a Licensed Mental Heath Counselor in the state of Florida. I work with people from childhood to adulthood. Mainly, I work with people who have had to endure difficult times either with trauma, crippling anxiety, depression and overall darkness who are looking to find a light. I use a multi-system approach with techniques from IFS, DBT, ACT and CBT - mainly I believe it depends on the person and where they are to determine the approach I use.

I strive to deliver compassionate counseling with sincere dedication to service, and to do so as efficiently as possible in order to help alleviate stress and anxiety, and encourage emotional independence. My practice is rooted in Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT). REBT, the pioneering form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), is a goal-oriented therapeutic approach that helps people to challenge and replace self-defeating beliefs with healthier alternatives. REBT is generally shorter-term, solution-focused, and present-centered which makes it an amazing choice for those who not only wish to FEEL better, but to GET better.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist in Illinois and Florida. My diverse clinical background allows me to work with a wide array of challenges that often bring patients to therapy. My approach to therapy is always grounded in evidenced-based practices. Because every patient is different, one approach does not work the same for everyone. I spend time getting to know my patients and understanding how they see the world, themselves, and others. Breaking unhealthy patterns, improving coping skills, and developing stronger interpersonal skills are a big part of my work with patients.

I provide secure tele-behavioral health sessions. Since 2001, my team and I have provided over 49,000 successful sessions by telemedicine. I exude compassion as to the private trials of pain, whether physical, spiritual, psychological pain, and helping family members understand your life struggles and opportunities. Many of my patients have suffered from numerous traumas leading to suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. I have an understanding of executive professional families, recovering health care professionals, attorneys, and judges. I am a Clinical Fellow of the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy.

Accepting NEW Clients! My goal is to provide a safe and comforting space as I support clients through some of the most personal and painful experiences of their lives. Also, it is OK to start therapy just because you’d like some extra help. Whatever the reason may be, I take an individualized approach and utilize evidenced based techniques that are optimal for your personal goals, individual needs, and situation.

Anyone can become addicted to prescription medication! This means you! Prescription medication has become the most abused drug of this decade and it's legal! In fact, many do not believe they will become addicted because they lack knowledge necessary to understand their devastating, addictive properties. You go to the doctor, he prescribes pills,you need more, doctor says no, you get scared because you don't want to be "dope sick." It becomes too expensive, you become desperate, so you switch to heroin because it is cheaper. Does any part of this speak to you? If so, call me!
