Jerrilynn Pratt-Mullen, LMHC

Jerrilynn Pratt-Mullen is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with ten years of experience. She focuses on helping people move beyond addiction, trauma, depression, and anxiety toward clearer choices and greater emotional balance. Jerrilynn takes a compassionate, direct approach and helps people listen to their own intuition about what will help them heal.

She believes painful patterns often come from early conditioning, fear responses, and unprocessed loss. In sessions she helps clients notice the stories they tell themselves and replace harmful self-talk with practical steps toward change. Work often covers grief, relationship and intimacy struggles, codependency, and problems connected to substance use.

Her method draws on evidence-informed therapies such as cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior ideas, acceptance and commitment strategies, attachment-based thinking, and client-centered work. She blends these to fit each person’s needs and goals. Conversations mix reflection, skill building, and real-life planning to reduce distress and strengthen coping.

Jerrilynn also addresses broader life areas that affect mental health, like career, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and identity concerns. She encourages clearer boundaries, healthier communication, and grieving when needed. Her aim is to help people build resilience, self-compassion, and practical routines that support long-term change.

She practices in Florida and works in English. To start, prospective clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule sessions based on the therapist’s availability.

How these approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and identify values-driven actions that create gradual change. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and struggles with substance use where shifting behavior matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns through practical exercises and skill practice; it often helps with mood, anxiety, and coping strategies. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and emotional responses, which can be helpful for intimacy issues and repeated relational conflict.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to see which methods fit their goals, comfort level, and day-to-day life. Together they may try different techniques and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Confirm the available session options before booking as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use video or phone choices that match their energy level or bandwidth. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework for remote sessions so work continues between meetings.
