Mindful and Evidence-Based Care Delivered Online

Charlette Forteza integrates mindfulness practices and evidence-based therapeutic techniques within a human-centered, holistic framework. Mindfulness practices teach present-moment awareness and tools for noticing thoughts and emotions without immediate reactivity - skills that often help with stress, anxiety, and managing intense feelings. Evidence-based therapeutic techniques refer to structured, research-supported methods tailored to the client’s goals and needs; these approaches support work on relationship patterns, self-esteem, coping with life transitions, and practical problem solving.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Charlette approaches this collaboratively. She partners with clients to identify goals, explore preferences, and adjust techniques over time so the work fits the client’s life and values.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These options allow clients to connect from home, during travel, or around busy schedules while maintaining continuity of care. The variety of formats makes it easier to fit therapy into everyday life and to continue momentum between sessions.
