Background and approach
Aquinetta draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help change unhelpful thoughts and Client-Centered Therapy to keep conversations focused on the client's needs. Motivational Interviewing is used when someone needs help finding motivation to change habits or manage substance use. Psychodynamic ideas are available too, to look at deeper patterns that affect current behavior.
She tailors methods to what each person needs rather than using one fixed style. Aquinetta has three years of clinical experience and holds the Licensed Mental Health Counselor credential, LMHC. She practices in Florida and conducts sessions in English.
Her background includes work with a wide range of concerns such as ADHD, eating difficulties, caregiving stress, and trauma-related symptoms. People who choose her can expect straightforward conversation, concrete coping tools, and a focus on manageable steps. She emphasizes collaboration, helping clients set realistic goals and check progress along the way.
Online approaches that meet you where you are
Many of her sessions use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviors to change how you feel. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and phobias because it gives clear tools to practice between sessions.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep meetings focused on the person's concerns and pacing. That means the conversation is guided by what matters most to the client, with the therapist offering support and reflection rather than directing every step.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Then she and the client will try methods that fit those needs and adjust as progress is made in sessions.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let you use visual cues for deeper conversation, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow for ongoing support between appointments and can fit into busy days. These options help people keep therapy consistent around work, school, or caregiving demands.
