About Stephanie

Stephanie Fuentes is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, and life transitions. She also supports individuals in the LGBT community and those struggling with self-esteem and trauma-related concerns.

With 15 years of experience, Stephanie draws on straightforward, people-centered care. She focuses on building a respectful and comfortable relationship so clients can take practical steps forward. Sessions emphasize clear goals and steady progress rather than jargon or complicated models.

Her approach mixes client-centered listening with techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness. She also uses ideas from existential and Jungian therapies when they fit a person's story. This blend aims to address thoughts, feelings, and the deeper questions that come up during change.

Clients can expect a calm, validating presence that encourages self-reflection and action. Stephanie often works on concrete skills for managing symptoms, communication, and daily routines. She also supports people dealing with attachment, abandonment, caregiver stress, body image, and post-traumatic stress.

Practical goals are a priority: clearer thinking, improved coping, and a plan for the next steps. To begin, visitors select the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule based on therapist availability.

How these approaches shape online support

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. It helps people feel heard and decide their own next steps. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical tools to change them, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness therapy teaches attention and present-moment awareness to reduce reactivity and improve emotion regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Then she tailors techniques and pace to fit the person, combining methods when that suits their needs.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the exact session options before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online work can make scheduling easier and help therapy fit into busy days. It also lets people choose sessions that match their needs, such as a shorter check-in when time is tight or an audio session when video isn’t preferred. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT, mindfulness, and client-centered methods to remote work to help with coping, mood, and daily routines.
