Remote care that centers collaboration and practical skills
Stephanie Fuertes offers online sessions that emphasize collaboration and real-world strategies. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, person-focused space in which the client is treated as the expert on their own life. This approach supports shared decision making about goals and next steps.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify and work with patterns of thinking and behavior that influence mood and relationships. When trauma is a central concern, Trauma-Focused Therapy guides careful attention to how past events shape current responses while pacing the work to the client’s readiness. Mindfulness and solution-focused elements may be integrated to develop coping tools and short-term goals.
Sessions are available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options are intended to support different preferences for communication and to make it possible to maintain consistent work over time. The clinician and client determine together which format fits best for the therapeutic goals.
