About Fabiola

Fabiola Desire is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida with 13 years of professional experience. She focuses on practical problems people bring when stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma or low self-esteem make daily life harder. Sessions are offered in English and Haitian Creole.

Fabiola helps people talk through what is happening now and what they want to change. She uses clear, goal-focused techniques to reduce overwhelming feelings and improve relationships. Clients often work on steps they can try between sessions, such as small behavior changes, communication skills, or ways to manage anxiety in the moment.

Her approach combines client-centered listening with structured methods like cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness. That means she listens first, then helps sort out which thoughts and habits are keeping problems going, and practices new ways of responding. Emotionally-focused ideas are used when relationship patterns and attachment concerns are central to the work.

Fabiola has supported people dealing with trauma, abuse, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses career stress, LGBT concerns, immigration-related issues, body image, and feelings of isolation. Additional focus areas include first responder issues, domestic violence, and multicultural concerns.

Clients can expect straightforward, practical conversations that lead to real tasks and skills to use outside sessions. To start, individuals complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site.

BHow sessions work

How her approaches work in online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy starts by listening to what matters most to the person and adjusting the work to those priorities. It helps when someone needs a nonjudgmental place to sort through feelings and set practical goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and stress when people want concrete tools to try between meetings. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at patterns in close relationships and the emotions that drive them. It can help when recurring conflicts or attachment worries are part of the difficulty.

Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. That discussion is ongoing and can change as progress is made.

Session arrangements should be confirmed before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins during a lunch break, avoiding commute time, or choosing a session type that requires less bandwidth. Ask about the current session options when you schedule to know what will work for your routine.
