Statewide Telehealth Counseling Services in Florida
Refuge Springs Counseling provides telehealth mental health counseling in Florida for anyone located in the state at the time of their session. Our practice is based in Pensacola, and clients log in from Jacksonville, Tampa, Orlando, Tallahassee, Miami and the small towns in between. In a state this long, online therapy removes the two biggest obstacles to consistent care: distance and drive time.
Our counseling services in Florida cover anxiety therapy for worry, panic and stress, depression counseling, ADHD counseling for children, teens and adults, trauma counseling and autism counseling. Florida life brings its own pressures, including hurricane seasons, frequent moves, military deployments and long commutes, and a mental health therapist who meets you by video can stay with you through all of it.
Faith matters to many of our clients. Our care is rooted in Biblical principles and paired with evidence-based methods like CBT, trauma-informed care and mindfulness. Christian counseling and Christian marriage counseling are available statewide. Looking for your area?

Why Floridians Choose Refuge Springs Counseling
We built our practice around telehealth so that location never decides who gets good care. Licensed therapists meet clients across Florida by secure, HIPAA-compliant video, blending Biblical principles with CBT, trauma-informed care and mindfulness. You get flexible scheduling, clear pricing, insurance for individual therapy and a judgment-free space wherever you are in the state.
Mental Health Counseling in Florida: FAQs
How online therapy works anywhere in Florida: eligibility, cost, insurance and what to expect.
Can I get online counseling anywhere in Florida?
Yes. As long as you are physically in Florida during your session, you can meet with us by secure video from any city or county: the Panhandle, Central Florida, South Florida or the Keys. Florida telehealth rules are tied to where the client is located, so if you travel out of state, plan to reschedule rather than log in from there.
Is online therapy as effective as in-person counseling?
For most concerns, yes. Telehealth uses the same structure, the same evidence-based methods and the same confidentiality standards as an office visit. The difference is the screen, not the care, and many people keep more appointments because there is no drive.
Which insurance plans do you accept for counseling in Florida?
For individual therapy we accept United Healthcare, Florida Blue (BCBS), Cigna, Aetna, Optum, Oxford and Oscar. Self-pay rates are $110 for individual sessions and $120 for couples or family sessions. Insurance does not cover couples or family sessions with us.
Do you offer anxiety therapy in Florida for teens?
Yes. Anxiety therapy is available for teens and adults statewide. Teens learn practical skills for worry, panic, school stress and social pressure, and parents are kept informed about the plan. Sessions happen by video from a private room at home.
Can I choose Christian counseling instead of secular therapy?
Yes. Our counseling is rooted in Biblical principles, and you decide how much faith is part of your sessions. Some clients want their faith at the center of the conversation, and others prefer to focus on practical, evidence-based tools. Both are welcome.
What should I do if I'm in crisis?
If you are in immediate danger or thinking about harming yourself, call or text 988 (the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline) or go to the nearest emergency room. Telehealth counseling is for ongoing support, not emergencies. Once you are safe, we can help you build longer-term care.
