Fidji Durosel , LMHC

Fidji Durosel is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida who centers sessions on practical change and client strengths. She brings 20 years of experience and a straightforward, warm style to conversations about stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. Her work often includes parenting, career strain, trauma and LGBT-related issues. She talks with people about managing life transitions and building self-esteem.

Fidji uses a client-centered stance that keeps the person's goals front and center. She mixes cognitive-behavioral ideas with emotionally-focused work and mindfulness so sessions can include skills practice, feeling work, or calming exercises depending on the need. Motivational interviewing helps when someone is unsure about next steps.

Her sessions tend to be interactive and practical. She helps people break problems into small steps, test new behaviors, and notice what does or does not work. Conversations are grounded and respectful, with attention to cultural and spiritual values when it matters to the person.

Over two decades of practice has given Fidji experience with a wide range of issues. That includes anger, ADHD, compassion fatigue, chronic illness, attachment and family of origin matters, and decisions around separation or divorce. She also supports people facing body image struggles and commitment concerns.

People looking to begin can expect collaborative goal-setting and options that fit their life. Sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging to match practical needs and preferences.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person without judgment. Online sessions use that stance to help someone set their own goals, clarify values, and decide what matters most in treatment. This approach works well for issues like self-esteem, identity, and life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to change thinking and behavior patterns. In an online session CBT can include identifying unhelpful thoughts, practicing new behaviors between sessions, and checking progress together. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and name difficult emotions and then shift how they relate to those feelings. Even in remote sessions this approach supports deeper emotional work for relationship concerns and attachment issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose which methods fit their goals and preferences. Sessions may try one technique and adapt based on what helps most.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging support shorter check-ins, ongoing encouragement, or people who prefer written communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping the focus on progress and practical steps.
