Hi, I’m Ivonne Fraga, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor providing therapy in English and Spanish.
My approach is warm, compassionate, and culturally sensitive. I believe therapy should be a place where you can speak openly, feel understood without judgment, and work toward meaningful changes at a pace that feels right for you.
First session
In our first session, my goal is to create a calm and welcoming space where you feel comfortable sharing at your own pace. We’ll talk about what brings you to therapy, your concerns, and what you hope to gain from our work together. I’ll also answer any questions you have and begin helping you identify clear goals and next steps tailored to your needs.
Strengths
I believe one of my greatest strengths is my ability to connect with people and make them feel comfortable being themselves. I approach each session with genuine care, patience, and an open mind. I take the time to listen, understand your perspective, and recognize the experiences that have shaped you. While I offer guidance and practical tools, I also believe that you already have strengths within you. Part of my role is helping you recognize those strengths and learn how to use them to navigate life's challenges.
Ideal clients
I enjoy working with adults from different backgrounds who may be feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or unsure of how to move forward. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, past experiences, grief, relationship difficulties, or major life changes, you don't have to figure everything out alone. I especially value working with individuals who are ready to better understand themselves, develop healthier ways of coping, and make meaningful changes in their lives. You don't need to have all the answers before starting therapy.
Treatment methods
Trauma-Focused CBT
I use Trauma-Focused CBT to help clients understand how trauma affects thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Together, we gently process difficult experiences while building coping skills, emotional regulation, and a stronger sense of safety. My approach is supportive and paced carefully to ensure clients feel comfortable, grounded, and empowered throughout the process.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use CBT to help clients recognize how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are connected. In our work together, we identify unhelpful patterns, challenge negative thinking, and build practical tools clients can use in daily life. My approach is collaborative, supportive, and focused on creating realistic, lasting change.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
My approach is centered on understanding you as a person, not just the challenges that brought you to therapy. I believe that genuine connection, empathy, and acceptance are essential to building trust. I provide a welcoming, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your feelings, better understand yourself, and discover your own strengths. Together, we work toward meaningful growth at a pace that respects your individual needs and experiences.
Family Therapy
In family therapy, I help family members better understand one another, improve communication, and work through challenges together. My role is to create a respectful, supportive space where each person feels heard while guiding the family toward healthier patterns and stronger connections.
Couples Counseling
In couples counseling, I support partners in improving communication, rebuilding trust, and working through conflict in a constructive way. I help couples better understand each other’s perspectives while developing tools to strengthen their relationship and create lasting change.
