Career Direction & Life Transitions Therapy in Plantation, Florida
Big changes – a new job, a career shift, a promotion, a layoff, a move, a divorce, or another major life event – can leave you feeling unmoored, even when the change is one you chose. It is common to feel unsure of your direction, disconnected from your sense of purpose, or overwhelmed by decisions that suddenly feel high-stakes.
RPM Counseling provides counseling for adults in Plantation, Broward County, and throughout Florida by telehealth who are navigating career direction and major life transitions. See the full list of mental health counseling services I offer.
Why Choose Us
Our Approach to Career Direction & Life Transitions Counseling
Greg Myer is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 10 years of experience, including firsthand experience navigating a major career transition of his own after serving as a Marine Corps Military Police Officer. Counseling is practical and goal-oriented, focused on helping you get unstuck and move forward with clarity. Counseling is individualized based on your goals, timeline, and current stressors.
Therapeutic approaches may include:
- Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) – helps identify concrete next steps and build momentum toward a clear goal, rather than staying stuck analyzing every angle of a decision.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) – helps identify and challenge the self-doubt, catastrophic thinking, or all-or-nothing beliefs that can make a transition feel bigger than it is.
- Mindfulness-based strategies – helps slow down reactive decision-making and stay grounded in the present instead of spinning through hypothetical outcomes.
- Person-centered counseling – keeps the direction of the work centered on your own values and goals, not what you feel you’re “supposed” to want.
Life Transition Types
- Starting a new job or entering a new field
- Feeling stuck, unfulfilled, or burned out in a current career
- Considering or going through a career change
- Facing a layoff or unexpected job loss
- Taking on a leadership role and the pressure that comes with it
- Navigating a divorce, marriage, or new parenthood
- Retiring or approaching a major life-stage transition
- Feeling a general sense of being “unmoored” without one clear cause
Career Direction and Workplace Burnout
Work stress and burnout are among the most common reasons adults seek counseling. Long hours, unclear direction, high-pressure cultures, or a mismatch between your work and your values can leave you running on empty.
Counseling can help you get clarity on what is and is not working, rebuild sustainable habits, and figure out a next step that fits your actual goals rather than what you feel you are supposed to want.
Common Conditions
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this the same as career coaching?
It’s related but different. Career direction counseling addresses the emotional and psychological side of a transition – stress, identity, confidence, and decision-making – rather than resume writing or job-search strategy.
Do I need to be unemployed or job-searching to benefit?
No. Many clients are actively employed and simply feel stuck, burned out, or unsure of their direction.
How long does this type of counseling take?
It varies. Some clients benefit from short-term, goal-focused work, while others use counseling on an ongoing basis through a longer transition.
Is counseling confidential?
Yes. Counseling is confidential within legal and ethical limits.
Do you offer virtual sessions for this?
Yes. RPM Counseling offers telehealth counseling throughout Florida.
