Kiara Pittman, LMHC

Kiara Pittman is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 8 years of experience supporting people through a wide range of life challenges. She has worked across diverse settings including clinics, hospitals, outpatient programs, in-home services, and addiction-focused care. Kiara works with adults, couples, and teenagers who seek help for concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, relationship and family difficulties, grief, anger, bipolar disorder, coping with life changes, trauma and abuse, and addictions. She also brings focused experience supporting teens and adults with substance use concerns, as well as individuals impacted by sexual assault and trauma.

Kiara recognizes that reaching out for therapy can be one of the most difficult steps, and she aims to create a welcoming, warm space where clients feel supported from the start. She approaches counseling as a collaborative process guided by the client’s priorities - with clients setting expectations and goals while she provides steady encouragement and practical guidance along the way. Her intention is for each session to feel purposeful and for clients to leave feeling more connected to their goals and next steps.

Her work is grounded in a client-centered, solution-focused style and often draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence one another, as well as narrative approaches that help people make sense of their experiences and reshape the stories they carry. Kiara is active and engaged in sessions, listening closely and working alongside clients to help align mind and body toward meaningful change. She also values multicultural preferences and remains open to meeting each client’s individual needs with respect and flexibility. Alongside her professional background, Kiara’s personal experience adapting to change and building resilience informs the supportive, perspective-focused way she helps clients navigate real life challenges.
