Online addiction counseling for adults throughout Florida

If you're questioning your relationship with alcohol or substances—or trying to maintain a recovery you've already begun—you don't have to figure everything out before reaching out. I'm Rita Quintero, a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor providing online addiction counseling for adults throughout Florida.

Addiction Counseling that starts where you are

You don't need to have everything figured out before beginning. You may be questioning your drinking or substance use, trying to make a change, returning to recovery, or simply wondering whether something needs to be different.

I provide online addiction counseling for adults throughout Florida in a private, judgment-free setting. We'll start with where you are—not where someone else thinks you should be.

What Can We Work On Together?

Questioning Your Drinking or Substance Use

You don't have to know whether you have an addiction. We can look at what's happening, what concerns you, and what—if anything—you would like to change.

If you're already in recovery, counseling can help you navigate triggers, relationships, stress, cravings, and the everyday work of building a life that supports lasting change.

Recovery & Relapse Prevention

Leaving rehab or another structured program can be a surprisingly difficult transition. Therapy can help you take what you've learned and make it work in real life.

Life After Treatment

Meet Rita Quintero, LMHC

Rita Quintero, LMHC, Florida addiction counselor

I'm a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor specializing in addiction and recovery. My approach is direct, compassionate, and judgment-free. I believe meaningful change begins when you can talk honestly about what's happening without worrying about being labeled, lectured, or judged.

My understanding of addiction comes from both professional experience and lived experience. I know that asking for help can feel complicated—especially when you're not sure what you want to change yet. You don't need to arrive with the answers. That's something we can figure out together.

You don't have to be ready. You just have to start the conversation.

A free 15-minute consultation gives us a chance to talk briefly about what's going on, what you're looking for, and whether working together feels like a good fit.
