Float on Counseling - Established in 2017
Hey, I’m Joel Schmidt – Licensed Therapist. My wife, Summer (our Client Care Coordinator), and I started the practice in 2017 as a small solo operation, renting an office part-time. Over time, we’ve grown into a larger — but still small community feel — group practice with offices in the Carrollwood area of Tampa and Lithia/FishHawk.
From the beginning, our goal has been to create a practice that feels approachable, well-organized, and genuinely supportive and responsive. We know how frustrating it is to call multiple therapists with no answer and no returned calls.
At Float On Counseling, we focus on making therapy feel clear and accessible from the start. Summer answers most calls right away, but gets back quickly when she’s on another call or when it’s after hours. We only work with fully-licensed and experienced therapists that we trust to provide a warm and clinically sound experience. We work with kids, teens, adults, and couples, and offer both in-person sessions and virtual therapy. We also accept many major insurance plans and help clients understand their benefits so there are fewer surprises along the way.
Outside of work, we love playing with our two black greyhounds (Harry and Jack), spending time on the water, traveling when we get the opportunity, seeing live music, watching college football, and being with friends and family.
