Macy Grim, M.S., LPCC

Hi! I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor providing in-person therapy in Jacksonville Beach, Florida and online therapy across California. (Yes, sunshine in both states. Bi-coastal emotional support human.)

I specialize in working with young children, teens, and young adults, and I’m also a professor at the University of North Florida, which means I spend a lot of time helping people navigate the most confusing years of life, whether that looks like tantrums, mood swings, anxiety, or the “I don’t know what I’m feeling but it’s BIG” phase.

Helping kids, teens, and families feel more connected.

I support families who want a calmer home, better communication, and more connection, without turning every conversation into a battle. Together, we help children learn how to feel, process, and communicate emotions in a healthy way, which improves confidence, relationships, and behavior both at home and at school.

Play therapy + parenting support (aka: tools that actually work)

As a parenting specialist and play therapist, I work with children and families navigating:

Divorce / separation

Anger, tantrums, emotional outbursts

Trauma and stressful life transitions

Sibling rivalry and family conflict

Anxiety and depression

Academic difficulties and school stress

Self-esteem and confidence issues

For teens and young adults, I also support challenges like anxiety, overwhelm, self-worth, motivation, identity development, and social stress, all the fun stuff no one teaches in school.

Support for new moms + growing families

I’m also a new mom myself, and I have a strong passion for supporting women and parents during the transition into motherhood and family life, helping you build confidence, reduce anxiety, and get your ✨pink✨ back (not just someone’s snack provider).

My counseling style

My approach is holistic, warm, and nonjudgmental, rooted in Humanistic and Child-Centered therapy. That means I meet clients where they are (no pressure to have the perfect words) and focus on building emotional safety, resilience, and real-world coping tools, not just “let’s talk about it forever.”

You don’t have to do this alone.

If you’re looking for a child therapist in Jacksonville Beach, teen counseling in Jax Beach, play therapy, or parenting support, I’d love to help.

Reach out anytime… I’m here when you’re ready.
