About Zara
Zara Fajardo is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with seven years of clinical experience based in Florida. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, parenting strain, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. Zara also supports people facing codependency, attachment concerns, caregiver stress, and issues around communication and commitment.
Her style is straightforward and practical. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and build manageable steps forward. Sessions often involve looking at thoughts and behaviors, clarifying values, and creating small, doable plans for change.
Zara blends several approaches to match what each person needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps uncover and shift negative thought patterns. Existential ideas prompt questions about meaning and personal priorities. Solution-Focused work emphasizes immediate, concrete steps to improve daily life.
She has worked with adults from diverse backgrounds and has experience supporting people through caregiver stress, perinatal challenges, and life transitions. Zara has also spent time helping adolescents build emotional awareness, though her current profile highlights adult work.
In sessions she pays attention to practical outcomes like clearer boundaries, less overwhelm, and steadier mood. People who struggle with putting others first or losing themselves in relationships may find the focus useful. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How evidence-based approaches can work online
Her work draws from well-known, evidence-based techniques that translate to remote sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Existential approaches invite questions about meaning, values, and priorities to help people make clearer choices when life feels uncertain. Solution-Focused techniques emphasize short-term, practical changes and building on what already works in daily life.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the early work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, daily routines, and comfort level. That means testing a few ways of working and adjusting based on results and feedback.
The practical benefits of meeting online include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week, shorter check-ins when needed, and the ability to avoid travel time. Confirm the exact session formats available before booking, since the profile does not list specific delivery options. Sessions can be organized to match work breaks, caregiving schedules, or when a shorter, focused check-in is the most useful option.
