About Zara
Zara Fajardo is a Florida LMHC with seven years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, parenting pressures, self-esteem struggles, and coping with life changes. She also focuses on related concerns such as attachment issues, abandonment, caregiver stress, and feelings of emptiness or isolation.
In sessions she uses practical, evidence-based techniques to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior. She draws on cognitive-behavioral methods to identify patterns that feed anxiety and depression. She also uses elements of existential and solution-focused approaches to explore values and set achievable goals.
Her style is direct and conversational. Conversations move from understanding what feels stuck to testing small changes that can make daily life feel more manageable. She emphasizes concrete skills - for example, communication strategies, coping tools for overwhelm, and steps to rebuild confidence after setbacks.
Zara has worked with adults from diverse backgrounds and with people facing perinatal mental health concerns. She has experience supporting parents and caregivers through role changes, and she assists those dealing with adoption, blended family dynamics, and fertility-related stress.
People who choose to work with her typically complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to begin. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and services are offered in English in Florida.
