Virtual Therapy Florida
Accessible and compassionate virtual therapy in Florida with The Couch MHW
Virtual therapy in Florida has opened doors to mental health care for many who once found it hard to reach help. I’m Dr. Marjorie Lozama, a Board-Certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, and I know personally how important it is that when working through life’s difficult moments, one feels safe and supported. I offer my care through online sessions that bring professional, personalized support right to you in the comfort of your home or wherever you feel most at ease.
Whether you deal with anxiety, depression, trauma, or a life transition, I’m here to listen and support your healing journey in a way that fits into your daily life. Why Virtual Therapy Works for So Many
I’ve seen how busy schedules, transportation issues, or simply the stress of walking into a new place stop people from seeking the help they need. That is why I value the flexibility afforded by online therapy. Online therapy in Florida lets us connect face-to-face via secure video, keeping the connection real without the barriers of travel or waiting rooms. It relieves some pressures of traditional care and maintains the confidentiality and warmth that build trust in therapy.
This allows you to be in an environment that makes you most comfortable when we meet online: a cozy room in your home, your backyard, or any peaceful spot anywhere. This can help you feel more relaxed and open during our conversations, making it easier to explore your genuine thoughts and feelings.

How I Personalize Therapy Just for You
My goal is to create a safe and accepting environment where you feel seen and understood. I adapt my approach to your needs in this moment, whether that’s therapy directed at changing negative thought patterns through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, improving relationship skills with Interpersonal Therapy, or unpacking deeper feelings with psychodynamic techniques.
I take a collaborative approach: I work with you to set practical goals and build skills that go beyond our sessions. We will openly discuss your progress and continue to make adjustments until it feels like therapy is relevant and working well for you.

Bridging Cultural Gaps in Mental Health
I grew up in a community where stigma and inaccessibility have daily realities for people of color. That drives my approach to care that centers cultural background and lived experience. I want you to feel included, not judged; understood, not overlooked. These values anchor my therapy, whether we connect in person or online.
Florida’s diversity makes this sensitivity essential. I try to meet you where you are culturally and emotionally to help bring ease to feelings that can arise from feeling unseen.

Managing Stress with Therapy
Stress fuels mental health struggles, so part of my care includes teaching simple but powerful techniques to deal with stress day in and day out. These include mindfulness practices that return you to the present moment, relaxation exercises such as guided breathing, and strategies for better time and energy management. Together, we work toward decreasing the impact of stressors while improving overall well-being and resilience.
Signs It's Time to Reach Out
If you’ve been experiencing ongoing sadness, loss of interest in daily activities, or changes in appetite and energy that persist for more than two weeks, it may be time to seek help. These symptoms often signal more than temporary stress-they may point to depression that benefits from professional support. Therapy can help you understand what’s driving these emotions and provide tools to manage them effectively.
