For Immediate Release:

The Aviation Therapist Expands Virtual Therapy Services to Florida

Dr. Abigail Powell, PhD, LP, Now Offers Licensed Virtual Therapy to Aviation Professionals in the State of Florida, Effective May 23, 2026.

Dallas, TX — May 23, 2026

Dr. Abigail Powell, PhD, LP, founder of The Aviation Therapist & Coach and one of the nation's leading mental health professionals specializing in aviation psychology, has officially expanded her licensed virtual therapy practice to the state of Florida. As of May 23, 2026, aviation professionals residing in Florida can now access Dr. Powell's specialized, judgment-free virtual therapy services, bringing much-needed, niche mental health care to one of the most aviation-dense states in the country.

Florida is home to a significant concentration of pilots, flight attendants, aviation students, air traffic controllers, and aerospace professionals, many of whom have historically had limited access to therapists who truly understand the culture, demands, and psychological complexities of life in aviation. Dr. Powell's expansion directly addresses that gap.

A Practice Built for Those Who Fly

Since launching The Aviation Therapist & Coach, Dr. Powell has served aviation professionals in Texas through her secure virtual therapy platform, developing a reputation for clinical expertise rooted in a genuine understanding of aviation culture. The expansion to Florida reflects the growing demand for specialized mental health support within the aviation community and Dr. Powell's commitment to reaching more of the professionals who need it most.

"Aviation professionals in Florida have been reaching out, and I've been listening," said Dr. Powell.
"There is a real and serious need for mental health care that doesn't require pilots and aviation professionals to explain their world before they can start healing. That's exactly what I offer, and now Florida residents don't have to wait."

What Florida Aviation Professionals Can Now Access

Through her virtual therapy practice, Dr. Powell provides licensed clinical support for the unique challenges aviation professionals face, including:

✈️ Aviation anxiety and performance anxiety: Fear of flying, checkride stress, and high-stakes performance pressure
🔥 Pilot burnout and career fatigue: Emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and diminished sense of purpose in aviation careers
🧭 Aviation identity shifts: Psychological impact of career transitions, grounding, medical certificate loss, or leaving the cockpit
🧠 Mental load and cognitive stress: Managing the sustained psychological weight of safety-critical environments
💬 Relationship and lifestyle challenges: How aviation schedules, culture, and lifestyle uniquely affect personal wellbeing and relationships

This is not general therapy repackaged with aviation buzzwords. Dr. Powell's practice is built from the ground up for the aviation community, with clinical depth and cultural fluency that make a meaningful difference.
