    About Michael

    Michael Fabiano is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in New York. He focuses on helping people who are facing stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, and relationship concerns. Michael aims to build a collaborative relationship so clients feel heard and supported as they make changes.

    He uses practical strategies that fit into everyday life. Sessions often look at communication habits and thought patterns that keep problems stuck. He also helps people work through life changes like divorce or separation and tackles issues such as isolation, social anxiety, and quitting smoking or vaping.

    Michael blends approaches including Motivational Interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy. That mix lets him match techniques to a person’s goals, whether the need is skill building, clearer values, or motivation to change.

    Over three years of practice, he has focused on delivering straightforward, easy-to-use tools. Clients can expect room to tell their story, and then concrete steps to try between sessions. The work is paced to each person’s needs and preferences.

    His practice is delivered in English and operates out of New York. To start, visitors are asked to use the site’s Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.

  2. How Motivational Approaches and ACT Translate Online

    Motivational Interviewing is a conversational style that helps people find their own reasons to change. It focuses on listening, asking open questions, and supporting a person’s readiness to try new behaviors. This approach can help with smoking or vaping cessation, shifting habits, and building momentum for other goals.

    Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, encourages people to clarify what matters most to them and take steps that match those values. It uses simple exercises to notice thoughts and stay committed to chosen actions, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life-purpose questions.

    Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick strategies that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean trying mindfulness exercises one week and practical behavior changes the next.

    The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make sessions easier to fit into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also makes it simpler to practice skills between appointments and to bring real-life examples into session conversations.
