Her approach is adaptable depending on the problem and the person’s goals. She practices in Florida as a FL Psychologist PY9982 and conducts therapy in English.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Sessions are provided via a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules sessions based on the therapist’s availability.
Dr. Fernandez aims to help people make steady, practical changes that improve daily functioning and relationships.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online care
Dr. Fernandez uses a few evidence-based approaches to guide her work. One approach focuses on building practical coping skills and problem-solving steps to manage anxiety, stress, and ADHD-related challenges; it teaches concrete techniques to organize tasks, reduce overwhelm, and improve daily routines. Another approach centers on processing traumatic experiences and their emotional impact, helping people reduce reactivity and rebuild a sense of safety in relationships and daily life.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to identify goals, try out strategies, and adjust methods based on what helps most. Together they decide which techniques fit the client’s needs and preferences rather than assuming one path will work for everyone.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation when more connection is helpful. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or a camera is not convenient. Live chat and text-based messaging offer brief check-ins or ongoing support between longer sessions, which can help keep progress on track.
