His clinical background includes work in emergency screening, where he provided rapid assessments for urgent mental health situations with little or no notice, and several years working in the prison system with inmates experiencing mental health difficulties. He is a Florida Licensed Clinical Social Worker; his license is registered under sw18820. Over the course of eleven years in practice he has developed a pragmatic, informed approach to care.

An attentive listener and clear communicator, Prof. Checkett focuses on matters related to gender, couple relationships - often rooted in communication - and social justice. He uses an integrative method that draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, Jungian approaches, and narrative therapy to address topics such as self-care, empowerment, self-image, self-esteem, and conflict resolution.

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?

Many people ask whether remote therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be as effective as traditional in-person sessions.

Clients can meet with their therapist in the format that best suits them - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging - making it easier to fit care into a busy schedule.
