Deepa Samaroo, MSW, LCSW, Therapist in Ocoee, Florida

Deepa Samaroo helps children, teens, and adults across Florida navigate emotional challenges and find lasting balance through compassionate, evidence-based therapy. She creates a safe, supportive space where clients can explore life’s difficulties, develop coping skills, and strengthen emotional resilience. Deepa provides individual therapy to address a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, and behavioral issues, helping clients of all ages achieve meaningful change and improved well-being. Deepa specializes in working with anxiety, trauma, and mood-related challenges such as depression and bipolar disorder. Using therapeutic methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and mindfulness-based interventions, she tailors treatment to meet each person’s unique needs. Her compassionate yet structured approach helps clients uncover patterns that contribute to distress and replace them with healthier, more effective ways of thinking and living. Deepa also provides care for individuals and families navigating complex experiences such as developmental disabilities, adoption or foster care transitions, and stress related to first responder and military service. She understands how these experiences can affect identity, relationships, and mental health, and she works collaboratively to foster healing and strength. In addition, she integrates her training in play therapy and trauma-focused care to support younger clients and families in building trust and emotional awareness. Deepa’s work is guided by empathy, insight, and a deep belief in each person’s ability to grow and thrive. She enjoys playing piano and basketball with her husband—activities that reflect her appreciation for balance, connection, and creativity both inside and outside the therapy room. Deepa Samaroo practices at LifeStance Health and serves patients throughout Florida.
