About Malika
Dr. Malika Dandridge is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with ten years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship struggles, depression, and the effects of trauma and abuse. Her style is straightforward and compassionate, aimed at helping clients take practical steps toward feeling steadier and more in control.
She listens first, asking about background and current challenges before suggesting a path forward. Many clients seek her help for attachment wounds and control issues that trace back to early relationships. She also supports people coping with post-traumatic stress and the struggle to practice self-love.
Her approach centers on learning healthier patterns, building new coping skills, and creating small routines that support mood and relationships. Sessions focus on clear goals and real-life applications rather than abstract theories. She encourages self-care habits and mindset shifts that can be practiced between meetings.
Dr. Dandridge works from a perspective that healing often means relearning how to relate to oneself and others. She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address symptoms and patterns. People who want steady, practical guidance and a calm working relationship may find her approach helpful.
She practices in Florida and meets with people in English. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on the therapist's availability.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online therapy
Many evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on teaching practical skills and shifting unhelpful patterns. One common approach is skills-based work that teaches breathing, grounding, and emotion-regulation strategies to reduce anxiety and reactivity. These tools help people manage strong feelings and regain a sense of control in day-to-day life.Another common method involves working on attachment-related patterns by tracking relationship behaviors and trying new ways of connecting. This approach helps people notice repeated habits, test small changes, and build more satisfying interactions over time. Both approaches pair well with step-by-step practice between sessions to reinforce progress.
Finding the right approach is often a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your concerns, consider your goals, and suggest techniques that fit your needs and preferences. Together you can adjust methods as you learn what helps most.
Confirm current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific online options. In general, online therapy can make it easier to schedule regular meetings, fit sessions into work or family life, and practice new skills in the settings where challenges occur. Ask about available formats when you complete the matching questionnaire so you can choose what works best for your routine.
