My name is Carolina and I am a licensed mental health counselor in FL. I have worked with individuals that experience a wide variety of challenges. I have experience working with both adolescents and adults, supporting them in developing strategies to manage their mental health and build healthier relationships. My approach is client-centered and empathetic, aimed at fostering a safe, supportive environment where we can build resilience and find greater fulfillment.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Clients can expect a welcoming and supportive environment where we'll discuss challenges and goals for therapy. We'll explore what's been impacting you and I will offer strategies to help manage those concerns. The focus is on building trust and creating a plan for moving forward in a collaborative way.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
As a therapist, I aim to create a space of compassion and a judgment -free zone, where you can express yourself with confidence. I believe that healing begins where individuals feel accepted, heard and understood. In our sessions, I focus on building trust and creating a space where you can openly share your thoughts, emotions, and concerns without fear of criticism.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I am passionate about working with a variety of individuals, particularly young adults and adults who are navigating different challenges. I specialize in supporting clients who face anxiety, life transitions and those who have experienced trauma. Whether it's managing everyday life challenges, relationship dynamics or emotional difficulties, I am here to provide a tailored approach.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
Using Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) in my work with clients has been a valuable experience, particularly in supporting individuals struggling with emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal difficulties. Incorporating DBT skills such as mindfulness, emotion regulation, and effective communication has helped clients develop healthier coping strategies and gain greater control over their reactions. I’ve seen meaningful progress when clients consistently practice these techniques, leading to increased emotional stability and improved relationships in their daily lives.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
In my experience providing care, I’ve found that applying person-centered principles fosters stronger connections with clients and helps them feel more in control of their own healing journey. By truly listening without judgment and respecting each individual’s unique perspective, I’ve seen clients become more open, confident, and willing to engage in their own care. This approach has deepened trust and led to more meaningful, lasting outcomes in my work.
