About Jacinta
Jacinta Little is a licensed mental health counselor practicing in Florida. She has six years of clinical experience helping people who are coping with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, and depression. She meets people with a wide range of concerns and focuses on practical, doable steps to make life feel more manageable.
She uses a client-centered style that shapes conversations around each person's goals. That means sessions focus on what matters most to the client and move at a comfortable pace.
Background and approach
Jacinta blends evidence-based methods like cognitive behavioral techniques with acceptance-based work to help people respond differently to difficult thoughts and feelings. Her approach also pays attention to attachment patterns and how early relationships affect current coping. This can help with worry about abandonment, communication problems, and feeling isolated or disconnected from others.
She aims to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try small changes that fit their lives. Jacinta works with people facing complex and long-term challenges, including chronic illness, persistent mood concerns, obsessive-compulsive patterns, panic, and struggles around guilt or shame. She explains tools plainly and practices skills in-session so clients can use them between meetings.
Her sessions are collaborative and paced to each person's needs. She encourages honest conversation and takes a respectful, compassionate stance while helping clients build clearer goals and practical strategies for day-to-day life.
Evidence-based approaches for online care
Jacinta draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to help clients tackle distressing thoughts and behaviors. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, ACT, emphasizes noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them while identifying meaningful actions aligned with personal values.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She works with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences, and will adjust the plan as progress is made. The aim is to try practical tools together and pick what feels most helpful for daily life.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into busy schedules. Video allows face-to-face conversation for deeper skill practice, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can be useful for brief check-ins or ongoing skill support between sessions.
