Charlette Forteza

Charlette Forteza is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) who focuses on helping people facing relationship strain and major life changes. She speaks plainly and aims to make conversations feel steady and manageable. Her approach is centered on the person in front of her and on practical steps that can be used day to day.

With 17 years of experience, she blends mindfulness practices with evidence-based therapeutic techniques. Sessions often include attention to thought patterns, calming practices, and ways to improve communication. She helps people work through stress, anxiety, attachment concerns, body image worries, and the fallout from separation or divorce.

Her practice also covers parenting stresses, compassion fatigue, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose and self-love. Charlette pays attention to how relationships shape feelings and behavior, and she helps clients notice patterns that get in the way of change. She uses simple exercises to build new habits and to ease intense emotions.

People coming to her for support can expect a human-centered, holistic tone. Conversations move at a practical pace and focus on what matters now. The goal is clearer choices and more ease in everyday life.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule appointments based on availability. Charlette accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Charlette blends mindfulness practices with evidence-based therapeutic techniques in ways that can work well in online sessions. Mindfulness here means brief grounding and breathing exercises to reduce overwhelm and improve focus; these tools help with anxiety, stress, and intense emotions. Evidence-based techniques involve identifying patterns in thinking and behavior, and then trying small experiments or new communication skills to change those patterns, which can help with relationship and attachment issues.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your needs and preferences. If something doesn’t feel helpful, she will adjust the plan together with you so the work stays practical and relevant.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins during workday breaks or after family obligations. They also let people practice new communication skills in real time and use short exercises between meetings to build momentum.
