About Fabiola
Fabiola Desire is a Florida-based licensed clinical social worker with 13 years of experience helping people manage stress and anxiety. She focuses on practical steps clients can use right away.

She creates an open space for people to talk through their thoughts and feelings without judgment. Conversations are paced to match each person's needs, with room for both listening and action.
Background and approach
Sessions often include short, concrete tasks to try between meetings. Fabiola draws on client-centered work to keep the conversation focused on each person’s goals. She also uses cognitive behavioral strategies to identify unhelpful thinking and try different responses.
Emotionally-focused ideas help when relationship patterns and strong feelings are central concerns. She has supported people facing trauma, depression, low self-esteem, compassion fatigue, and identity-related concerns including LGBT matters. Additional focus areas include immigration issues, body image, first responder stress, and coping after disasters.
Sessions are offered in English and Haitian Creole for people located in Florida. The tone in sessions is collaborative and respectful, aiming to empower each person to find clearer choices and small steps toward change.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-centered work focuses on the person’s needs and goals. In sessions the therapist listens, reflects, and follows what matters most to the client so conversations stay relevant and respectful. This approach helps when someone is unsure what they want from therapy.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Sessions break concerns into manageable parts and introduce small experiments to test new ways of thinking and acting. CBT can be helpful for anxiety, stress, and low mood.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and shift patterns in close relationships. It supports understanding strong emotions and changing how people respond to each other, which can ease conflict and build connection.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, try out techniques, and adjust the plan together. This collaborative process helps match methods to what actually helps the person feel better.
Online therapy offers flexibility and a range of ways to connect. Video calls let conversations feel face to face, phone sessions work when bandwidth is low, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue work consistently.
