Hello. My name is Fonda Cormier, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I received my master’s degree at California State University Dominguez Hill. After graduating I began my career as a Children’s Social Worker, with over a decade working in the mental health field.
I am skilled in the treatment of mood disorders, anxiety, depression, relationship and family conflict; including crisis management. I have also worked with clients diagnosed with HIV/AIDS, and the LGBTQ+ community. I have a growing interest in working with clients with personality disorders such as NPD and Borderline.
Using a Telehealth platform, I use therapeutic modalities such as Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Dialectic Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Structured Family Therapy, and Attachment Theories.
My work centers on fostering self-love and meaningful connections. I support clients in improving communication, overcoming isolation, social anxiety, and processing difficult emotions like guilt and shame. I also consider a cultural approach to understanding my client’s mental health needs. I help clients navigate difficult life situations and conflicts; including phase of life issues which is a primary reason people seek therapy.
I am proud to say that my life experiences, education, and work history have allowed me to build consistent relationships with my clients during the therapeutic process.
For more information, you may browse my therapist profile by selecting my name above the chat. I check my messages a few times per day (Monday-Saturday).
I look forward to working with you in achieving your treatment plan goals and objectives.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
