Licensed in New Jersey as an LPC, Dr. Fabii currently lives in Florida and also works as a school counselor. She is available a few evenings per week and on weekends to work with Better Health clients, with additional daytime availability during the summer and school holidays. Throughout her career she has supported clients through life transitions, grief and extended bereavement, trauma and abuse, executive functioning and ADHD concerns, career planning and job search strategies, blended family issues, caregiver stress, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and many other challenges that affect emotional well-being.

A distinctive part of her background is extensive time spent in southern India and academic research on arranged marriage practices among Indian-American families. That experience informs her comfort in working with cultural issues related to marriage and family relationships. Dr. Fabii also brings experience assisting hundreds of clients with employment search strategies and finding fulfilling work.

She approaches therapy as a collaborative process that asks for honesty, commitment, and consistent effort from both therapist and client. Her goal is to help people emerge stronger, more confident, and better equipped to pursue a life marked by meaning, connection, and satisfaction.

Therapeutic Approaches and Accessible Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client’s perspective guides the work. The therapist listens closely, validates experiences, and helps people clarify values and goals, making it useful for relationship concerns, life transitions, and self-esteem issues.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. It is practical and skills-oriented, often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and mood regulation. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative approach that helps people find internal motivation to change behaviors and pursue goals, and it can be especially helpful for career shifts, engagement in treatment, and ambivalence around life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Fabii works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, drawing on approaches commonly used by licensed professionals and adapting strategies as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility for clients balancing work, family, and other responsibilities. Sessions by video call or phone allow real-time conversation, while live chat and text-based messaging provide additional options for those who prefer written communication or need more frequent check-ins. These formats can make it easier to access consistent support and to integrate therapy into a busy life.
