About Penni
Penni Mitchell offers calm, steady support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, and relationship strain. She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, which she uses alongside practical coaching skills developed over a 30-year career. Her tone is warm and accepting, and she aims to make talking about hard things feel easier.
Penni begins by listening to what matters most to each person. She then builds a plan that fits real life, not a one-size-fits-all checklist.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on everyday steps - improving sleep and routines, managing upsetting thoughts, handling anger, or making sense of loss and big life changes. Her approach draws from client-centered care, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, emotionally-focused work, and hypnotherapy.
That mix lets her match methods to the concern at hand, whether the focus is coping skills, changing patterns, or managing intense emotions. Penni has a background in education and social work, and she blends coaching with clinical practice to support practical change.
She is based in Florida and has worked with many different kinds of struggles, including parenting challenges, career stress, addiction, trauma, and issues related to identity. Sessions are offered in English, and she accepts international clients. People connect with Penni by selecting the Start Therapy button, completing a short matching questionnaire, and scheduling sessions according to availability.

Online support
Therapeutic tools and online care that fit your life
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience, helping people feel heard and supported as they find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thought patterns and teaches practical skills to change those thoughts and related behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills to manage intense feelings and improve relationships.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Penni will work with each person to identify goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust the plan as needed. That collaborative process helps find what actually helps in day-to-day life.
Online sessions are available by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when video is not possible, live chat is useful for brief check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing, low-key contact between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to continue work even when travel or time constraints make in-person visits difficult.
