About Jacinta

Jacinta Little is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida who helps people struggling with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, and depression. She draws on six years of clinical experience to offer steady, practical support. Jacinta aims to make the first steps into therapy as simple and understandable as possible for someone feeling overwhelmed.

Her approach centers on the person in front of her. Conversations are shaped around each client’s goals and comfort level. She listens for what matters most, then adjusts strategies so they fit day-to-day life.

Jacinta uses a mix of established methods to address thinking patterns, emotions, and behavior. She may use techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts, and acceptance and commitment ideas to help clients live by their values even when feelings are difficult.

Attachment-based and client-centered work help explore how early relationships influence present struggles and strengthen self-understanding. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are sometimes offered to teach emotional regulation and distress tolerance when overwhelming feelings arise.

She also supports people coping with major life disruptions, including coping with natural or human-caused disaster and chronic illness challenges. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused, with homework and skill practice when useful. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

Therapeutic approaches and what they offer

Jacinta commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as part of her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and helps people take steps that match their values even when emotions are hard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful thinking and behavior.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Jacinta works collaboratively to figure out which methods fit a client’s goals and daily life. She discusses options openly and adapts the plan as progress and preferences become clearer.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the specific session formats before booking because the profile does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. Some approaches, like CBT and ACT, are well suited to virtual work because they use talk therapy and skill-building exercises that translate to an online setting. Licensed professionals can help shape session length and focus so therapy fits into everyday routines.
