About Fabiola
Fabiola Desire is a Florida LCSW with 13 years of clinical experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, LGBT concerns, career questions, and compassion fatigue. She also attends to issues such as abandonment, body image, domestic violence, immigration stress, isolation, and guilt and shame.
Fabiola uses clear, direct conversation in sessions. She focuses on helping people name difficult feelings and understand how those feelings affect day-to-day life. Sessions aim to make space for honest talk about what happened and what the person wants now.
Her methods include client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, emotionally-focused strategies, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. That means she will listen for patterns in thoughts and behaviors, help identify emotional needs, and suggest simple practices to try between meetings.
She encourages practical steps alongside emotional reflection. People often work on small behavior changes, noticing thinking habits, and short mindfulness exercises to reduce overwhelm. Sessions include checking current problems and planning doable next steps.
Fabiola speaks English and Haitian Creole. She practices in Florida and brings a direct, honest style to sessions. To begin, readers are invited to review the online therapy options and complete the short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Fabiola uses client-centered therapy to focus on each person's immediate concerns and emotional experience. That approach involves attentive listening and reflecting back what the client says, which helps clarify feelings that often sit under guilt or shame.She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at thinking patterns and behaviors that keep painful feelings active. CBT in sessions involves identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing them, and trying small behavioral experiments to see what changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means trying an approach, checking how it feels, and adjusting as needed rather than sticking to one plan.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so readers should confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, support shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. The focus is on practical ways to fold therapy into everyday life while the therapist and client work together on what helps most.
