About Stephanie
Stephanie Fuentes is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who helps people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma. She also supports clients navigating self-esteem, anger, life transitions, and issues related to LGBT identity. Her style is warm and straightforward, aimed at making tough conversations feel manageable.
She draws on 15 years of experience to keep sessions focused and practical. Meetings usually start with what feels most urgent, then move toward tools that can be used day to day.
Background and approach
Stephanie listens for personal patterns and helps clients try new ways of responding to old problems. Her work combines client-centered care with cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness practices. That means she centers the client's goals, looks at thoughts and behaviors that cause distress, and introduces simple exercises to calm the body and mind.
She also incorporates existential and Jungian ideas when exploring meaning, values, and personal narratives. Sessions can include coaching-style conversations alongside therapeutic work. Clients who need help with attachment, abandonment, communication problems, codependency, or caregiver stress will find practical steps and homework to practice between sessions.
Stephanie pays attention to how past experiences shape present emotions and relationships. She offers therapy remotely from Florida and conducts sessions in English. People can expect clear, respectful guidance and a focus on progress that fits their life and schedule.
Therapeutic approaches for online sessions
Stephanie often blends client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in remote work. Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person's goals and building a supportive relationship, which helps clients feel heard and clearer about what they want to change. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches specific skills to shift those patterns.She also uses mindfulness techniques to help calm stress and increase awareness of emotional triggers. Mindfulness practices are short exercises that can be done between sessions to reduce anxiety and improve focus. Finding the right mix of these methods is part of the work; she collaborates with each person to choose approaches that match their goals and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which give practical flexibility. Video is useful for more in-depth conversations and visual cues, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messages work well for quick check-ins, coaching-style guidance, or brief coping strategies during the week. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and maintain momentum between meetings.
