About Michael
Michael Fabiano is a New York licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with three years of clinical experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, low self-esteem, and depression. Michael works with adults to name problems clearly and try practical steps that can help in everyday life.
He uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Mindfulness, and Motivational Interviewing to guide sessions. That means sessions often include noticing thoughts and feelings, testing small behavior changes, and clarifying values. Conversations are direct and goal-oriented rather than long lectures.
Michael also addresses communication problems, divorce and separation issues, forgiveness, loneliness, questions about life purpose, smoking or vaping cessation, and social anxiety. He helps people break issues into manageable tasks and practice new skills between meetings. Progress tends to come from repeated, small efforts rather than single insights.
Sessions emphasize practical skills and personal reflection. Michael listens for patterns in thinking and behavior and then works with clients to try alternative responses. He encourages brief experiments and concrete practices to see what changes feel useful.
People who prefer a straightforward, active approach may find his style helpful. He asks for specific goals and tracks progress over time. To begin, prospective clients use the site pathway to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

Approaches used in online sessions and how they help
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them while clarifying personal values. It can help when anxiety or depression keeps someone repeating unhelpful patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and introduces practical exercises to shift behaviors and reduce symptoms. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes the client's perspective and supports self-directed insight through reflective listening.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Michael will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches fit their goals and preferences. That means trying methods, checking whether they help, and adjusting plans together rather than committing to one single approach upfront.
The site biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful for fitting appointments into their day, keeping shorter check-ins during busy weeks, or using phone sessions when video is difficult. Online work can make it easier to practice skills in real life between meetings because sessions can be scheduled around everyday routines.
