Michael Fabiano

Michael Fabiano is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in New York. He focuses on helping individuals who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and relationship concerns. Michael aims to build a collaborative relationship where people feel heard and can work toward clearer goals.

He uses practical strategies to help people manage difficult emotions and day-to-day struggles. Sessions often involve learning tools to reduce anxiety, try new behaviors, and strengthen communication skills. Michael also supports people facing isolation and loneliness, helping them find ways to reconnect and rebuild social confidence.

Michael draws on several approaches to shape his work, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. He blends these methods to match a person's needs instead of relying on a single technique. The focus is on what will help most in someone's life right now.

He brings three years of clinical experience to sessions and emphasizes simple, actionable steps. People can expect a straightforward style and concrete ideas to practice between meetings. Michael also addresses areas like divorce and separation, forgiveness, life purpose, smoking and vaping cessation, and social anxiety when relevant.

Sessions are offered in English and are scheduled through the site's matching and booking process. To get started, readers follow the Start Therapy button, complete a short questionnaire, and schedule according to availability.

How therapy approaches shape online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on choosing actions that fit personal values, which can help with anxiety, depression, and feeling isolated. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns. That approach is often useful for anxiety, low mood, and social worries. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a nonjudgmental, empathetic relationship where the person's own goals guide the work.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Michael will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels useful in early sessions. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan based on what helps most over time.

Confirm the exact session formats when booking, as the profile does not list specific delivery methods. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and making it simpler to schedule meetings around work or family demands. It can also let someone try approaches like ACT or CBT from their usual routine, with homework and practices that match everyday life.
