Miss Teshia Denise Echols, MSW

Licensed Clinical Social Workers

“I am an experienced therapist that specialized in working with couples, anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, poly relationships, groups (those going through divorce & needing to increase self-worth & Self-esteem), and LGBTQ+ individuals. I provide an eclectic style of therapy that matches with my client's needs.”

About Me

I am an experienced therapist, here to help individuals, couples, and groups navigate life's complexities. I support those facing anxiety, depression, stress, or trauma, including LGBTQ+ and poly individuals. My eclectic style adapts to your unique needs, ensuring our work feels truly personal. For example, I facilitate groups for those rebuilding after divorce, focusing on increasing self-worth. Together, we can explore effective strategies to foster resilience and well-being.

Approach

My sessions move between gentle inquiry and concrete practice, helping you notice patterns and try new ways of relating to yourself and others. In Tampa and online, in English, I keep sessions paced to your needs — a mix of focused skill-building, reflective prompts, and collaborative planning that often continues between meetings with simple practices. Couples, people in poly relationships, and those repairing after separation tend to appreciate the steady, practical rhythm that balances emotion with clear steps toward greater confidence and connection.
