Cecilia Bezi, LMHC

Cecilia Bezi is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship or intimacy concerns. She also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, eating and sleeping struggles, parenting strain, anger, low self-esteem, and major life changes. Cecilia speaks English and Spanish and practices from Florida.

Cecilia uses clear, goal-focused work in sessions. She listens carefully and offers practical steps people can try between meetings. She aims to be active and engaged in the work rather than only reflecting back feelings. That means setting small, doable goals and checking progress together.

Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood and daily life. She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing to help process past events that keep causing distress. These methods are used to reduce symptoms and to help people feel more present in their lives.

With 15 years of experience, Cecilia brings steady clinical practice to common and complex problems. Sessions tend to be focused, practical, and rooted in real-life changes rather than long theoretical discussion. She encourages honest conversation about what helps and what does not.

People who want a hands-on therapist may find her style motivating and clear. Cecilia works collaboratively to set priorities and to adapt techniques so they fit each person's situation. The aim is steady progress toward better day-to-day functioning.

How CBT and EMDR are used in online care

CBT focuses on the link between thoughts, behaviors, and feelings. In online sessions this looks like identifying unhelpful thoughts, trying alternative ways to think, and practicing new behaviors between meetings to change how you feel. EMDR helps people process painful memories so those events have less emotional charge; in remote sessions the therapist guides paced processing and follow-up in a step-by-step way.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will discuss your goals, symptoms, and comfort level and will suggest whether CBT, EMDR, or a mix makes sense. You and the therapist adjust the plan over time based on what helps most.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let the therapist and client work face to face when schedules or travel make in-person visits hard. Phone sessions can be used when video is not possible or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, quick skill practice, or short updates between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to maintain momentum between appointments.
