“After therapy for 4 years I knew i needed to try something different. I tried accelerated resolution therapy with Yadira. It’s only been a few session and my anxiety and panic significantly reduced. Therapy with her is so natural doesn’t feel like therapy we chat it up but her words heal.”

Getting to know Yadira Fortunato
I help adults who feel overwhelmed, anxious, burned out, or stuck in patterns that are no longer working for them. Many of my clients come to therapy because of work-related stress, anxiety, panic attacks, overthinking, perfectionism, people pleasing, difficulty setting boundaries, emotional overwhelm, or the impact of painful or traumatic experiences.
My approach is warm, direct, collaborative, and active. Therapy is not just a place to talk about what is happening. We work together to understand the patterns underneath it, build practical tools, and create meaningful change. Depending on your needs, sessions may include talk therapy as well as focused approaches such as Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), which can help reduce distress connected to difficult memories, triggers, anxiety, and trauma without requiring you to repeatedly retell every detail.
I also offer therapy intensives for clients who want more time and focus than a traditional weekly session allows. Intensives provide extended sessions to concentrate on a specific issue, pattern, or goal and may be helpful for clients who feel stuck in weekly therapy or want deeper, more focused work.
My goal is to create a space where you can be honest, feel understood, and also be challenged when needed. We will work at a pace that feels manageable while staying focused on helping you move forward.
I provide virtual therapy for adults in New York, Florida, and Delaware.
What should a new client know about working with you?
You don’t need to have it all figured out to start therapy. You just need to show up. I’ll meet you where you are with empathy, honesty, and zero judgment.
I’m warm but direct. I’ll help you unpack what’s underneath the stress and guide you toward real, lasting change. I value your time and energy, so please know that after you book, I’ll email you my intake paperwork. It needs to be completed within 24 hours of scheduling your session. These are seperate from Zocdoc’s.
Therapy with me is a partnership. I bring structure, tools, and guidance. You bring honesty and willingness to do the work. Together, we make progress that lasts.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
After scheduling, I’ll send you my intake forms to learn about your background, goals, and what’s been on your mind.
My sessions are conversational and relaxed. We'll laugh, make jokes, but be serious when need to be! I work to create a calm and safe space where you can take a breath and be yourself. Together we focus on what feels most meaningful for you each session. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, I’ll help you slow down, reset, and reconnect with who you are.
