Jacinta LittleLMHC

Jacinta Little is a Florida-based licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with six years of practice supporting people through hard moments. She helps with stress, anxiety, relationship strains, grief, low self-esteem, and depression. Her work also includes support around chronic mental illness and the emotional strain of serious physical illness.

She takes a client-centered approach, which means conversations and plans are shaped around each person’s needs and goals. Sessions focus on practical steps as well as understanding feelings and patterns that get in the way of daily life. Therapy is collaborative and paced to what feels manageable for the person sitting across from her.

Jacinta uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to help people notice thoughts and try different responses. She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current trust and closeness. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are offered when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are priorities.

Her background includes six years working with a range of concerns such as panic, obsessive-compulsive patterns, abandonment and attachment issues, dissociation, and challenges tied to chronic pain or illness. She also supports people dealing with divorce, separation, and the fallout of major loss.

Jacinta aims to make starting therapy less intimidating by listening first and setting reachable goals together. People who choose to work with her typically find clear, down-to-earth conversations and practical exercises they can try between sessions.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Jacinta uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thought patterns and practice alternative responses that change moods and behavior. CBT focuses on skills and short-term experiments to test new ways of thinking and acting.

She also draws on attachment-based therapy to look at how early relationship experiences affect current connection and trust. This approach helps people name patterns in relationships and try new ways of relating that feel safer and more satisfying.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jacinta will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences, and adjust techniques as progress is made.

If you are interested in online sessions, please confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are set by the therapist and platform. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and remove travel time so therapy fits into everyday life more smoothly. Licensed professionals can guide practical exercises and teach coping skills effectively through remote sessions.
