Practitioner record · Checked 7 Oct 2026
Beatrice Fernandez has been in practice 11 years and is licensed in Florida. Beatrice lists addictions, trauma and abuse and grief among 13 subjects on the BetterHelp roster.
Everything below is either quoted from Beatrice's own BetterHelp listing, taken from public licensing records, or written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such. Nothing here is an availability promise, a review, or a rating.
01 · Who Beatrice works with
Beatrice lists 5 specialisms and 8 further focus areas. Specialisms are the subjects Beatrice chose to list first, which is the closest a listing gets to “this is my actual practice”.
02 · In Beatrice's own words
Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 10 years of experience supporting individuals through a wide range of emotional, behavioral, and life challenges. My experience includes working with anxiety, depression, grief and loss, trauma, bipolar disorder, relationship concerns, life transitions, stress management, and co-occurring substance use concerns.
My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and client-centered. I believe therapy should provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered to make meaningful changes in your life. I utilize evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Informed Care, while tailoring treatment to each client's individual needs, strengths, and goals.
I am passionate about helping clients recognize unhealthy patterns, develop effective coping skills, strengthen self-awareness, establish healthy boundaries, and build greater confidence in themselves and their decisions. My goal is not only to help you navigate current challenges, but also to provide you with practical tools that can support your continued emotional growth and overall well-being.
I believe meaningful change begins with feeling understood and having the courage to take one step at a time. I look forward to supporting you as you work toward becoming the healthiest and most fulfilled version of yourself.

03 · What happens next
Beatrice practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Beatrice's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.
BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Beatrice at this point.
BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Beatrice is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Beatrice.
You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.
A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.
Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.
04 · Before you commit
Built from what Beatrice actually lists, so they are answerable and specific rather than generic. Maker Therapy's, not Beatrice's - Beatrice has not seen them and is under no obligation to answer any of them.
“How do you decide when someone is ready to work on a traumatic memory itself?”
Pacing is the biggest safety question in trauma work. A clear, unhurried answer here matters more than any credential.
“How do you handle the gap between sessions if something comes up?”
On BetterHelp this varies a great deal by therapist. Better to know the rhythm now than to discover it on a bad week.
“You offer sessions in English and Spanish. Does the work change depending on which we use?”
People often reach different material in a first language than in a second. Worth naming before you choose.
05 · Practical details
06 · Provenance
Beatrice's name, credential, state, subjects, approaches and biography are read from BetterHelp's therapist roster, which Maker Therapy re-reads once a day; this page reflects the reading taken on 7 Oct 2026. The licence number and NPI are cross-checked against public registers.
The plain-English method descriptions, the first-session walkthrough and the questions are written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such wherever they appear.

If you start therapy through a link here, we may be paid a commission - it does not change your price and it does not affect who appears here or in what order.
