Kiara Pittman

Kiara Pittman is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 8 years of experience supporting people through a wide range of concerns. She has worked across multiple levels of care, including clinics, hospitals, outpatient programs, in-home services, and addiction-focused settings. Her background includes work with adults, couples, and teenagers, including about five years focused on substance use and addiction for teens and adults, as well as sexual assault and trauma. She also recognizes the importance of honoring multicultural preferences and remains open to meeting each client where they are.

Kiara approaches therapy with a welcoming, warm style and views the decision to seek support as a meaningful step forward. She collaborates with clients to clarify expectations and set goals, then offers steady guidance to help them move toward the changes they want. Her work emphasizes supporting clients in defining their own needs, rather than feeling pressured by others’ assumptions, with the aim of helping each person leave sessions feeling closer to what matters most to them.

Her counseling style is client-centered and solution-focused, often drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and narrative therapy. Sessions commonly explore how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect, and how to align mind and body in a way that supports day-to-day functioning. Kiara is engaged and interactive in the work, prioritizing attentive listening and a team approach as clients build practical tools and new perspectives over time.

In addition to her professional experience, Kiara brings personal familiarity with change and adaptation. As a self-described military brat who moved across more than 12 states and traveled to over 10 countries, she values resilience and the impact that interpretation and reframing can have on how life experiences are understood. She looks forward to partnering with clients as they navigate challenges and work toward meaningful goals.
