02 · In Fidji's own words

What Fidji says about the work

Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida with over 15 years of clinical experience. I have worked with individuals facing a wide range of concerns, including relationship and parenting challenges, career stress, life transitions, anxiety, depression, and trauma.

My counseling style is warm, interactive, and straightforward. I believe in treating every person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I value patience and understanding as essential elements of the therapeutic process. My approach is eclectic, with an emphasis on cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, and client-centered therapies. I tailor each conversation and treatment plan to meet your unique needs and goals.

One of my core strengths is working effectively with individuals from diverse cultural and personal backgrounds. I am skilled at navigating differences in values, customs, and belief systems to provide culturally responsive and respectful care.

When appropriate and aligned with a client’s preferences, I thoughtfully incorporate spiritual concepts into sessions to support a more holistic approach to healing and personal growth.

I am best positioned to support clients who are open to exploring concerns such as anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and self-esteem, while also considering how spirituality may play a role in their healing journey. Whether you are seeking practical coping strategies or deeper self-exploration, we will work collaboratively to create goals that reflect your values and support a more balanced, meaningful life.

Seeking support takes courage. If you are ready to take the next step toward greater clarity and well-being, I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you.

03 · How Fidji works

The 7 approaches Fidji lists, in plain English

These are the clinical methods Fidji lists. The descriptions are Maker Therapy's, not Fidji's - a general explanation of what each method is, so the list means something before you have spoken to anybody. They are not a claim about how Fidji runs a session.

Client-Centred TherapyPerson-centred · Rogerian

The therapist does not steer toward a technique or a diagnosis. They offer sustained, non-judgemental attention and reflect back what they hear, on the premise that people find their own direction when they are genuinely listened to. Often what people mean by “someone who just gets it”.

Cognitive Behavioural TherapyCBT

Structured, present-focused work on the loop between what you think, how you feel and what you then do. Usually means noticing a thought pattern in the room, testing it against evidence, and practising something different between sessions. Among the most heavily researched talking therapies for depression and anxiety.

Emotionally Focused TherapyEFT

Built for couples and rooted in attachment: the recurring argument is treated as a cycle two people are stuck in rather than as one person's fault. Sessions work to interrupt the cycle and get to what each person is actually asking for underneath it.

Mindfulness-Based TherapyMBCT

Trains attention on what is happening right now - body, breath, the thought as it arrives - so distress can be observed rather than automatically acted on. Strongest evidence is in preventing depression from recurring, and it is usually taught as a practice you keep doing outside the session.

Motivational InterviewingMI

A way of talking about change with somebody who is genuinely in two minds about it. The therapist does not argue for the change; they help you say your own reasons out loud, which is the part that predicts whether it happens. Common around substance use and health behaviour.

Solution-Focused Brief TherapySFBT

Starts from where you want to end up rather than from how you got here. Sessions look for the times the problem is already smaller and work out what is different about those, so the number of sessions tends to be short and the work concrete.

Trauma-Focused TherapyTF-CBT · trauma-informed

CBT adapted for people whose difficulty is rooted in a frightening or overwhelming event. Pacing is the point: safety and stabilisation come first, the memory itself is approached gradually and only when you are ready, and the aim is that recalling it stops hijacking the present.

04 · What happens next

From this page to a first session

Fidji 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 Fidji's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.

1. A questionnaire, not a booking form

   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 Fidji at this point.

2. Naming Fidji specifically

   BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Fidji 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 Fidji.

3. If the caseload is full

   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.

4. The first conversation

   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.

5. If the fit is wrong

   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.

05 · Before you commit

4 questions worth asking Fidji

Built from what Fidji actually lists, so they are answerable and specific rather than generic. Maker Therapy's, not Fidji's - Fidji has not seen them and is under no obligation to answer any of them.

• “You list both Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy. Which do you lean on with someone like me?”

  Those two point in different directions - one structured and led by the therapist, the other led by you. The answer tells you what the sessions will actually feel like.

• “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.

• “With 20 years in, what has changed most in how you work?”

  Long experience is only an advantage if it has been examined. This tends to surface whether it has.

• “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.

Where every line on this page came from

Fidji'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 9 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.

Maker Therapy is not BetterHelp, does not take bookings, and has not met Fidji. There are no reviews or ratings on this page because we have no way to verify one. 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.
