About Dianne

Dr. Dianne Fabii is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with two decades of experience. She practices from New Jersey and brings practical help for parents and adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and parenting challenges.

Her approach is straightforward and focused on real-life solutions that families and individuals can use right away. She keeps sessions warm and respectful, listening first to understand what matters most to each person. Then she suggests steps clients can try between sessions.

Background and approach

Her style blends clear guidance with support, so people leave with new skills and a plan they can follow. Dr. Fabii uses a mix of tried methods to match each client’s needs.

That can mean looking at how thoughts influence feelings, setting small achievable goals, or using motivational techniques to build momentum. She also works on communication and practical parenting strategies when family issues are part of the concern.

Her work includes a wide range of topics such as blended family issues, caregiver stress, divorce and separation, end-of-life concerns, isolation, midlife transitions, panic and trauma-related problems. She also helps with career direction, job search strategies, and building executive functioning and self-esteem skills. Dr.

Fabii values a trusting relationship built on honesty and respect. She partners with clients to increase self-awareness, practice self-care, and take steps toward more satisfying daily life. Sessions are geared toward useful change, not lengthy theory talks.

Therapeutic approaches suited for online family and parenting support

Client-Centered Therapy is focused on listening and understanding each person without judgment. It helps people feel heard and helps parents and adults find their own solutions through a respectful, non-directive stance.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and actions. It breaks problems into manageable steps and is useful for anxiety, mood issues, panic, and everyday parenting stress by teaching practical skills to change thinking patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will ask about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before, and then suggest a combination of methods that fit the situation. This is a collaborative process where adjustments are made as needs evolve.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy families and adults. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from home, phone sessions let you connect on the go, and live chat or text sessions can be used for brief check-ins or ongoing support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into school schedules, work shifts, and family life while keeping the focus on practical progress and usable strategies.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
