About Fabiola

Fabiola Desire is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida with 13 years of practice. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and struggles with motivation and confidence.

She works in straightforward, conversational sessions. Fabiola listens for patterns in feelings and behaviors and helps people name what’s happening. Conversations focus on what shows up day to day and on small steps that can feel doable between meetings.

Fabiola uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy as one of her approaches to look at emotion and attachment-related patterns. She also draws on client-centered work, cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing to address symptoms and practical problems.

Clients can expect a collaborative pace. Sessions typically involve talking through recent events, noticing emotional reactions, and trying simple tools to change unhelpful cycles. Practical coping skills are paired with attention to how relationships and past experiences shape feelings.

She offers services in English and Haitian Creole. The practice is based in Florida, and Fabiola has spent over a decade working with people from diverse backgrounds. If someone wants to schedule, they follow the site's process to complete a short questionnaire and pick a first session.

How her approaches translate to online work

Fabiola uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people notice and name strong emotions and the relationship patterns that keep those feelings repeating. EFT is often used when attachment hurts or when people have trouble saying what they feel in close relationships.

She also draws on client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening and responding to the person’s experience, and on cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at thoughts and behaviors that maintain distress and teaches concrete skills to change them. These approaches can help with anxiety, depression, and problem-solving in daily life.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences and may combine elements of EFT, CBT, and client-centered work as needed.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online session options before booking. Online work can make scheduling easier and help therapy fit around school, work, and family commitments. It also allows for shorter check-ins when time is limited and options that do not require being on camera if that helps someone participate more comfortably.
