Caroline King, LMHC

I am a licensed mental health counselor dedicated to helping individuals, couples, and families reconnect with themselves and each other. My eclectic approach draws from psychodynamic theory, attachment theory, internal family systems therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and relational life therapy.

​

I received my BA in psychology from Cornell University and my MA with academic distinction in clinical mental health counseling from Northwestern University.

​

I am passionate about the power of the therapeutic relationship and the growth that can occur when we nurture our minds.

Grounded. Connected.

Life can pull us away from ourselves through stress, grief, conflict, transitions, and daily demands. My hope in therapy is to help you become both grounded and connected—to yourself, your values, and the people who matter most.

​

Being grounded means developing an inner steadiness that helps you navigate challenges without losing yourself in them. It allows you to respond with intention rather than react from fear, shame, anger, or exhaustion, especially when life feels chaotic or out of control.

​

Grounding also means staying rooted in your values, identity, and sense of purpose. Instead of being shaped by others’ expectations or old patterns, you learn to trust your inner compass, leading to clearer decisions, healthier boundaries, and greater resilience.

​

Being connected begins within yourself. We all carry different inner parts—some that protect us, some that strive, some that feel vulnerable. Therapy helps you understand and integrate these parts with compassion, leading to greater clarity, wholeness, and self-acceptance.

​

Connection also extends to others. Healthy relationships are built on authenticity—knowing yourself, communicating honestly, and setting boundaries while staying emotionally present. Therapy can support you in creating relationships rooted in trust, respect, and emotional safety.

​

Ultimately, being grounded and connected is about becoming more fully yourself—steady, self-aware, and able to engage with life and others from a place of authenticity, strength, and hope.

Answering Your Questions

DO YOU ACCEPT INSURANCE?

I am considered out of network for insurance companies, but may provide you with confirmation of services (what we call a “superbill”) for reimbursement from your insurance company.  Please ask about a superbill in our initial conversation or meeting if that is something you are interested in utilizing.  All payments, superbills, and invoices will be processed and delivered electronically to make things as convenient and transparent as possible for you.   

WHAT IS THE PER SESSION COST?

Individual sessions are $175.  Couples and family sessions are $185.

How do I know if therapy is right for me?

Many people begin therapy during a particularly difficult season of life, when they feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of how to move forward. But therapy isn't only for times of crisis—it can also be a meaningful investment in yourself, offering space to better understand who you are, gain clarity about what matters most, and live with greater intention, confidence, and connection.

What should I expect during my first session?

The first session is a collaborative exploration. We establish a safe, empathetic foundation to build trust and determine how we can work together to support your growth.

Do you DO VIRTUAL SESSIONS?

I offer both in-person sessions at my office located near downtown Ocala, FL and virtual sessions for clients throughout the state of Florida.
