Beatriz Van Sky, LMHC

Beatriz Van Sky is a licensed mental health counselor with 20 years of experience. She helps people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, or eating concerns. She speaks English and Spanish and practices in Florida.

Beatriz focuses on practical, straightforward conversations. She aims to make the room feel open so clients can talk about difficult thoughts and feelings without judgment. She encourages small, doable steps toward feeling better and meeting daily demands.

Over two decades she has supported people facing postpartum depression, midlife transitions, and serious life changes. She also addresses care-related strain, cancer-related concerns, hospice and end-of-life matters, and challenges later in life connected to aging and geriatric issues.

Her work includes helping people navigate communication problems, divorce and separation, domestic violence recovery, and the effects of past sexual assault and abuse. She also supports those coping with panic attacks and mood disorders.

Beatriz uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person. She listens first, then helps build a realistic plan clients can use between sessions. To begin, people select the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.

Evidence-based approaches and online care

Beatriz uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical steps. One commonly used approach involves structured work on symptoms and behaviors to reduce anxiety and panic episodes by practicing coping skills and breathing or grounding tools. Another approach focuses on processing trauma and the effects of past abuse through guided conversations and paced techniques that aim to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Beatriz collaborates with each person to identify what feels helpful, adjusts methods over time, and sets goals together so therapy matches needs and preferences.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats offered before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time. Some people find phone check-ins useful when video would be difficult, while others prefer longer conversations by video when they want face-to-face interaction. Confirm current session options when you sign up so appointments match your routine and needs.
