Individual & Family Counseling Services in Orlando, FL
Counseling for You, Your Partner, or Your Whole Family
Life gets hard to carry alone, and even harder when the people you love are struggling too. Our individual & family counseling services in Orlando give you space to work through personal struggles and enhance the relationships around you, together or one-on-one.
The Way We Practice Counseling at BCSS
Counseling works best when it fits your life. That’s why Bridges Community Support Services offer both private, one-on-one sessions and joint family sessions in Orlando, so you can work through what’s personal and what’s shared. Nationally, about one in seven adults sought counseling or therapy from a mental health professional in the past year.
Talk therapy is often just the start. If a counselor notices a deeper clinical need, like severe depression, ADHD, or bipolar disorder, we’ll bring in medication management alongside your sessions. Achieve individual growth and family healing with the guidance of our skilled psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner in Orlando.
Counseling Services in Orlando for Every Stage of Life
Individual & family counseling services support a wide range of personal and shared struggles. Our licensed mental health counselor in Orlando builds a plan around what you’re actually facing.
Anxiety & Depression
Persistent worry or a sense of being stuck can affect every part of your life. Our depression treatment and support for anxiety disorders give you real strategies to work through it.
Conflict in Relationships
Marital counseling and couples therapy help partners rebuild communication and work through conflict resolution, rather than repeating the same arguments.
Major Life Transitions
Divorce, blended households, or shifting parental and individual responsibilities can strain close families. Our joint family sessions in Orlando help everyone get on the same page.
Grief and Loss
We offer grief and loss counseling sessions in Orlando that support you in processing the death of a loved one or any major loss that's hard to move past alone.
Anger & Emotional Control
Anger management gives you practical techniques to recognize triggers and respond differently before they damage relationships or trust.
Trauma & PTSD
Traumatic experiences can affect your emotions and relationships. We provide a safe space to process trauma and develop healthier ways to cope.

Why Orlando Families Choose Us for Counseling Services
Counseling at BCSS doesn’t happen in a bubble. If therapy uncovers a need for psychiatric evaluation, Nnenna Nwokeka, DNP, PMHNP-BC, works alongside your counselor to bring psychiatric care into your treatment plan.
We accept Medicaid and several Medicaid Managed Care plans, so counseling stays within reach.
Getting started is simple. Paola Anastasiou, MS, our Intake Coordinator, verifies eligibility and schedules your first appointment. If your family needs more than counseling, from housing pressures to broader case coordination, Brooke Quassis, MSW, our Service Support Coordinator, connects you to other behavioral health services as needed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where is Bridges Community Support Services, Inc. located?
Bridges Community Support Services has offices in Orlando and Rockledge, and provides individual & family counseling services to individuals and families throughout Orange County.
What is the average cost of individual therapy sessions?
The cost of individual therapy sessions varies based on the provider, insurance coverage, and type of service. BCSS accepts insurance plans, which may reduce the cost of eligible counseling services. Contact our office to confirm your coverage and any applicable out-of-pocket costs.
What is the difference between individual counseling and family counseling?
Individual counseling focuses on your personal experience and is conducted one-on-one with a counselor. Family counseling brings household members together in joint sessions to work through shared struggles.
Do you treat grief and trauma separately, or together?
It depends on your situation. Grief counseling and trauma counseling in Orlando often overlap, so your counselor builds a plan around what you’re actually experiencing, not a fixed category.
What happens if counseling reveals a need for medication or psychiatric support?
Your counselor connects you directly with our psychiatric team, so medication management can begin without leaving BCSS or restarting your story with any other provider.
