About Althea
Althea King is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with 18 years of experience. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, stress, trauma and grief, and other mood-related concerns. Her practice also addresses bipolar disorder and problems that often occur alongside mood symptoms.
She focuses on the whole person, taking into account values, faith, and life circumstances when planning sessions. In practice she helps people talk through panic, posttraumatic stress reactions, and attachment-related difficulties. She also supports those dealing with guilt, shame, and forgiveness work.
Althea pays attention to practical matters that affect wellbeing. That includes communication problems, financial stress, and family of origin issues. She will talk about how these concerns connect with emotional symptoms and daily functioning.
Sessions aim to clarify goals, develop coping strategies, and rebuild a sense of direction. Althea works collaboratively and uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide the work. She emphasizes straightforward conversation and specific steps a person can try between meetings.
People who prefer structured work will find a focus on concrete skills and problem-solving. Others who need space to process grief or trauma are offered paced support that balances emotion and skill-building. The intent is practical progress rather than quick fixes.

Evidence-based approaches and how they work online
Althea uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that emphasize practical steps and symptom relief. One common approach focuses on learning specific coping skills for anxiety and panic, such as breathing regulation, grounding, and graded exposure to feared situations. These techniques help reduce avoidance and increase confidence in social settings.Another frequently used approach centers on working through trauma and grief by pacing emotional processing and building stabilization skills. This helps people manage strong emotions while gradually addressing painful memories or loss without becoming overwhelmed.
Finding the right method is part of the process and is decided collaboratively. The therapist will work with the client to match approaches to goals, values, and daily life. That may mean combining skills training with paced emotional work, and adjusting the plan as progress is observed.
