About Beatrice
Beatrice Fernandez is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 11 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, bipolar disorder, and major life changes. She also helps with communication problems, domestic violence concerns, loneliness, social anxiety, mood disorders, and questions about life purpose.
Beatrice uses evidence-based techniques in plain, practical ways. She teaches concrete coping skills and helps people notice patterns that keep them stuck. Sessions focus on steps a person can try between meetings, so progress can be noticed outside the session.
Her background includes long-term work with mood and trauma-related concerns and with people managing substance use alongside other challenges. She blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with motivational interviewing and solution-focused strategies. Trauma-informed ideas shape how she plans care when past harm affects current functioning.
In sessions she helps people set clear, short-term goals and practice skills for communication, emotion regulation, and decision-making. She supports people as they sort through grief, changing routines, or shifts in work and relationships. She also works in Spanish for clients who prefer it.
Beatrice asks clients to view therapy as a series of small experiments. That means trying new ways of coping, noticing what changes, and adjusting plans together. To begin she guides people through a short questionnaire and scheduling so the first meeting is focused on what matters now.
How her evidence-based approaches work online
Beatrice commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing in straightforward ways. CBT helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can ease anxiety, depression, and aspects of mood disorders. Motivational Interviewing focuses on a person’s own reasons for change and can be useful for substance use and when someone feels unsure about making a change.She also uses solution-focused techniques to set clear, short-term goals. These are practical steps to try between sessions so progress can be reviewed together. Finding the best mix of techniques is part of the work; she collaborates with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences.
Confirm current session options before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter routine check-ins, or reduce the need to travel. Licensed professionals can adapt tools and homework to an online setting so the work remains practical and focused on daily life.
