Julie Fuentes , LMFT

Julie Fuentes is a bilingual Spanish-speaking Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with more than a decade of experience in the mental health field. She has worked across a variety of settings, including inpatient and outpatient care, community mental health, foster care, correctional facilities, and residential programs for youth. Her clinical background includes work with individuals and couples facing depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, childhood trauma, and relationship challenges.

Julie has extensive experience supporting people from culturally diverse backgrounds, and she has worked with members of the LGBTQ community. She emphasizes a compassionate, nonjudgmental approach that honors each personâs cultural context and lived experience. While friends and family can offer important support, Julie recognizes that there are times when professional guidance is more effective. She works collaboratively with clients to begin a healing process and to empower them in working toward their personal goals and potential.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Julie integrates Attachment-Based Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to address a range of concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early bonds influence present relationships and can help with issues related to abandonment, intimacy, and family patterns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental stance where the client's perspective guides the work, supporting self-exploration and personal growth. CBT offers practical tools to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be useful for stress, anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Julie works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and to tailor methods that fit the individual. That collaborative process helps determine which techniques will be most helpful at different stages of work.

Online therapy makes it easier to access consistent care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options offer flexibility for scheduling around work, family, and other commitments, and they allow people to continue therapy from different locations when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt therapeutic techniques effectively across these formats to support progress and continuity of care.
