Meet the Therapists
Stephen Vinson, EdD, LCSW
Therapist
Hi, I’m Stephen Vinson. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida and Texas, working with children, teens, adults, and couples. I specialize in supporting clients navigating ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma, parenting challenges, divorce and separation, anger, and relationship concerns. I also provide couples therapy both in person and via telehealth.
My approach is rooted in compassion, honesty, and cultural awareness. I strive to create a safe and supportive environment where clients—especially men—can show up fully without fear of judgment. My style is warm, direct, and empathetic. I listen actively and reflectively, helping clients gain insight, develop coping strategies, and move toward personal growth and relational health.
My goal is for clients to feel seen, heard, and empowered as they navigate life’s challenges and build stronger connections with themselves and others.
Danielle Vinson, MSW, PhD Student
Therapist
Hi, I’m Danielle Vinson. I work primarily with couples and women who have experienced trauma, as well as adults, and families. My passion is helping clients learn more about themselves, reclaim their voice, and live from a more present, balanced, and peaceful place.
In my work, I create a safe, judgment-free space where clients can feel comfortable opening up and exploring their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. I take a holistic approach, recognizing that healing involves the mind, body, relationships, and environment. I guide clients through self-discovery, emotional regulation, and relational growth, helping them move toward meaningful change and healthier connections with themselves and others.
You are important, your experiences matter, and I’m here to walk alongside you on your journey toward healing, empowerment, and a more fulfilling life.
