Online therapy for highly sensitive and neurodivergent women in Florida
You’re not too much. The world is just too loud.
Healerpreneur · Licensed Therapist · Educator + Speaker · ART Practitioner · Woo-Fluent · Neurodivergent-Affirming · Creator of the BEST Intentions Method
I help highly sensitive and neurodivergent people stop fighting their nervous systems and start building lives that are actually designed for who they are. Florida therapy clients · speaking and consulting available nationwide.
You've read the books. You've done the therapy. You've tried the breathing exercises.
And you still feel like you're failing at something everyone else seems to manage just fine.
Here's what nobody told you: your nervous system is not broken. It's not overreacting. It's doing exactly what it was built to do. It's just doing it in a world that was never designed for people like you.
You might be:
A highly sensitive person who absorbs everyone else's emotions and has nothing left by 3pm.
Someone recently diagnosed …or suspecting…ADHD, autism, or both, and suddenly your whole life is making a different kind of sense.
A woman in the middle of a spiritual awakening who knows something has fundamentally shifted but doesn't have the language for it yet.
A therapist or healer who is great at holding space for everyone else and completely depleted doing it.
If any of that is you…you're in the right place.
I'm Laura Zane. I'm a healerpreneur, licensed mental health counselor, and ART practitioner. I work at the intersection of neurodivergence, trauma, and spiritual awakening. I'm woo-fluent and clinically grounded, and I've spent 25 years helping people who are too much for most therapists finally feel understood.
What therapy looks like when it's actually built for your nervous system
Most highly sensitive and neurodivergent people who find me have already tried therapy. They did the worksheets. They tracked their thoughts. They practiced the breathing techniques. And it helped a little. But something was always off, like the tools were designed for someone else and they were just doing their best to make them fit.
That's because they probably were designed for someone else.
My approach is genuinely flexible and grounded at the same time. I pull from evidence-based modalities including Accelerated Resolution Therapy, Gestalt, somatic awareness, EFT, and expressive arts depending on what you actually need. Talk therapy works great for some people. Others need to paint something, move their body, or work through something symbolically before words even show up. I follow your lead more than I follow a rigid protocol. And the clinical training never leaves the room. It's always there, informing everything. It just doesn't have to be the only thing.
And if you want to talk about what you felt during that full moon last week, I'm genuinely here for that conversation too. Your intuition is data. Your sensitivity is information. We work with all of it.
ART (Accelerated Resolution Therapy) is one of the most effective trauma tools I use and it works faster than traditional talk therapy for most people. It also does not require you to retell your story in exhausting detail. For highly sensitive people who get overwhelmed by traditional trauma processing, that distinction matters a lot.
If trauma processing through ART is not your speed, that's okay too. I also do expressive arts therapy. Sometimes words just fail us and we need a different way in. Feel free to pull out your paints, pencils, or whatever medium calls to you. We can work that way too.
All sessions are telehealth only. For most of my clients, this is not a compromise. It is actually better. No waiting room. No sensory overload before you even sit down. No masking for the drive over. You show up from your own space, which is usually where you do your best thinking anyway.
I work with adults, teens, and young adults throughout Florida including Sarasota, Bradenton, Lakewood Ranch, Tampa, St. Petersburg, Naples, Orlando, and anywhere else you have a solid internet connection.
Imagine understanding why you feel everything so deeply…and finally having tools that work with your nervous system instead of against it. That's what we build together.
With the right support, things really can be different.
What shifts when you work with someone who genuinely gets it is not just that sessions feel better. You start to actually understand your own patterns. You stop treating your sensitivity like a problem to manage and start working with it like the information it actually is. You figure out what drains you and why, and you start making real decisions based on that instead of just pushing through until you crash.
Highly sensitive and neurodivergent people are not broken. They are usually some of the most perceptive, creative, and tuned-in people around. The issue is not who they are. The issue is that nobody ever explained how their system works or gave them tools that matched how they are actually wired.
That is what we do here. Not fix you. Understand you. And then build something that actually works for your life.
Serving all of Florida via telehealth — Sarasota, Bradenton, Lakewood Ranch, Tampa, Naples, and beyond.

Real questions people ask before booking
5
Is online therapy actually effective for HSP and neurodivergent clients?
1
For most of my clients, yes. Telehealth takes a significant amount of sensory and social load out of the therapy experience. You are in your own environment, which means less masking, less transition stress, and more authentic communication. Research consistently shows telehealth outcomes are comparable to in-person for anxiety, depression, and trauma work. For sensitive nervous systems specifically, being in a familiar space is often a real advantage.
Do I need a formal diagnosis to work with you?
2
No. Many of my clients are self-identified HSPs, late/ultra-late diagnosed adults, or people who suspect neurodivergence but have never pursued formal testing. You do not need a label to deserve support. If you recognize yourself in what I describe on this site, that is enough to reach out.
What if my spiritual beliefs feel outside the mainstream?
3
This is specifically why I use the term woo-fluent. I work with people who are in active spiritual awakenings, who use tarot or oracle cards as reflective tools, who have had experiences they cannot easily explain, and who need a therapist who is not going to pathologize any of that. Your spiritual life is part of who you are. It belongs in the room.
How do I know if we are a good fit?
Do you take insurance?
4
Sage Synergy currently accepts and is in-network with United Healthcare. For clients with other insurance plans, I offer courtesy billing, which means I submit your claims directly to your insurance company and they send reimbursement directly to you. You do not have to deal with the paperwork yourself. If you have ADHD and the words "superbill" and "out-of-network reimbursement" just made your eyes glaze over, I see you. That is exactly why I do it this way. If you are not sure whether your plan covers out-of-network therapy, reach out and we can figure it out together.
Book a free 20-minute consult. It is a real conversation, not a sales call. We talk about what you are dealing with, I tell you honestly whether I think I can help, and you decide what you want to do from there. No pressure, no commitment required.
