About Fanny
Fanny Gradzikiewicz is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with 16 years of experience. She practices in both English and Spanish and has worked across a range of family and parenting concerns. Parents and caregivers often find her practical, steady approach helpful when life feels overwhelming.
Her work focuses on everyday problems that affect families: stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, relationship strain, grief, depression, and trauma. She also addresses issues like sleep trouble, anger, and changes linked to life transitions.
Background and approach
She draws on several methods to match the moment and the person in front of her. Fanny blends client-centered care with cognitive behavioral strategies to help people notice patterns and try small, manageable changes. She uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for processing traumatic memories when that is appropriate.
Motivational Interviewing and solution-focused techniques help people clarify goals and take practical steps forward. Therapy sessions can include work on communication, blended family concerns, immigration-related stress, postpartum mood changes, and forgiveness after betrayal. She has experience supporting multicultural issues and the emotional fallout of separation or divorce.
Her style aims to be collaborative and straightforward, with attention to what a family member or parent can actually do between sessions. Fanny invites people to name clear goals and work step by step toward them. She emphasizes hope and practical change over long explanations.
The first meeting is used to set priorities and choose techniques that fit each family’s needs.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person’s experience. The therapist follows the client’s lead and offers support that respects individual values and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts, feelings, and actions to identify patterns and try small, practical changes that reduce stress and improve mood. EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a method used to help people process traumatic memories so they feel less disruptive in daily life.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist discusses options during early sessions and helps choose methods that match a family’s goals, needs, and comfort level. This is a collaborative process where adjustments are made as progress is tracked.
Online therapy offers several convenient formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options can make it easier to fit sessions into busy family schedules and to continue care when life is unpredictable. Flexible formats allow for check-ins, skill practice between meetings, and real-time support without travel.
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.
EMDR
A structured protocol used with distressing memories, pairing recall with guided attention tasks. Some therapists adapt it for video sessions; whether that fits is worth asking about directly.
