About Joyce

Dr. Joyce Love is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 35 years of experience. She practices in Florida as an LMFT and brings long experience helping people who want change, hope, and clearer direction in their lives.

She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship and intimacy-related concerns. She also supports people managing grief, addictions, career strain, parenting strain, and identity questions including LGBT issues. Narcissism is listed among topics she addresses when relevant to a client's goals.

Dr. Love takes a person-centered stance in sessions. She listens without judgment and asks questions to understand what matters most to each person. That approach makes it easier to shape therapy around someone's current situation and goals rather than forcing a single method.

Her work draws from attachment-based ideas, emotionally-focused therapy, client-centered practice, existential thinking, and narrative approaches. She mixes these to fit each person’s needs and circumstances, explaining options and trying different ways of working when something does not help.

Expect a calm, respectful space where the therapist aims to build trust and practical steps forward. Sessions typically include reflection, storytelling about problems and patterns, and concrete tools or experiments people can try between meetings.

People who want a collaborative therapist who adapts methods to their life may find this style helpful. Confirm current session options before booking to make sure they match personal needs.

How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early patterns of connection affect current relationships. It helps people notice recurring ways they react under stress and try new ways of relating in day-to-day life. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience and pace; the therapist listens closely and reflects what she hears so people can arrive at their own solutions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on feelings in relationships and can help people name vulnerable emotions and ask for what they need more clearly.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist talks with each person about goals and preferences, and then suggests a mix of methods to try. Work is collaborative and adjusted when something isn’t helping or when goals shift over time.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins from different locations. It can also let someone choose a quieter setting, use audio-only when bandwidth is low, or schedule shorter sessions for quick coaching-style check-ins. Ask about the format options available and how they can best fit into your daily routine.

Before you get in touch

Therapists listed here offer talking therapy online. A profile is not a diagnosis of you or of anyone in your life, and no therapist can promise how a relationship will turn out.

If you are in danger, or someone is hurting or threatening you, contact emergency services or a domestic-abuse helpline. The numbers are at the foot of this page.
