Hi, I’m Ivonne Fraga, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor providing therapy in English and Spanish.
I focus on creating a safe, supportive space where clients feel comfortable, understood, and empowered to move forward at their own pace.
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
Clients often describe me as patient, grounded, and easy to talk to. My strengths include building strong therapeutic relationships through empathy, active listening, and unconditional positive regard. I also provide practical tools and guidance to help clients feel more confident, emotionally balanced, and supported in their growth.
Ideal clients
Many of my clients are navigating life transitions or feeling overwhelmed and looking for clarity, stability, and support. I welcome individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds and strive to meet each client with understanding and respect. I work best with adults experiencing anxiety, trauma, depression, grief, stress, and relationship challenges.
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.
EMDR
As a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, I use EMDR to help clients safely process traumatic and distressing experiences. EMDR allows us to work through memories in a structured and supportive way so they feel less overwhelming over time. I move at each client’s pace and focus on helping them feel grounded, safe, and more in control of their healing.
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.
