About Antonette

Antonette Dalberry is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in Florida who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, and issues around identity and trauma. She brings 25 years of clinical experience to sessions and works with people facing grief, addiction, parenting strain, bipolar challenges, ADHD, and intimacy or self-esteem struggles. Her style is warm and person-focused.

She leans on client-centered listening to build trust and help people feel heard.

Background and approach

Sessions are collaborative, with the person’s goals guiding the work rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. Antonette combines narrative ideas with cognitive behavioral tools and other therapies to unpack difficult life stories. She helps people reframe the stories they tell about themselves and test small changes in thinking and behavior.

This mix aims to increase resilience and practical problem solving. She has worked in community and institutional settings, which shaped her comfort with many different life situations and diagnoses. That experience informs how she tailors approaches for concerns such as gender dysphoria, fertility or cancer-related stress, post-traumatic stress, and recovery from abuse.

Sessions focus on clear, simple steps people can use between meetings. She emphasizes discovering strengths, building coping skills, and finding ways to support long-term growth. Antonette welcomes people who want a steady, respectful partner in sorting life’s challenges.

Online session options

How narrative and client-centered work translate to online therapy

Online sessions can use Narrative Therapy to look at the stories someone tells about their life. That approach helps people separate themselves from painful narratives, name turning points, and imagine new possibilities for relationships and identity.

Client-Centered Therapy is also well suited to remote work because it prioritizes listening and building trust. The therapist focuses on understanding the person's experience and supporting their own choices and pace of change.

Antonette also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which gives concrete strategies to test thoughts and change small habits between sessions. That method is useful for anxiety, mood changes, and practical coping during life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to decide which methods to try based on their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts as progress unfolds.

Online formats offer flexibility that helps therapy fit real life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text-based messaging supports brief check-ins, journaling prompts, or on-the-go reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to keep continuity and practice new skills consistently.
