Work With Fabiola Felix, MSW
Online Therapy in Illinois for Anxiety, Burnout & Life Transitions
Now accepting new clients
Hi, I’m Fabiola (she/her)
You don’t have to carry the weight of the world by yourself.
Many of the people who reach out to me aren’t in crisis — they’re just tired.
Tired of carrying so much responsibility.
Tired of overthinking every decision.
Tired of feeling like they should be handling life better than they are.
Therapy with me is a place to slow down, feel supported, and stop carrying everything on your own. You’re not failing. You’re human.
I’m currently accepting new clients for online therapy across Illinois.
Meet Fabiola
I may be a good fit for you if…
The "Reliable One" fatigue has set in: You’re the one everyone else leans on, and you’ve forgotten how to ask for support yourself.
Anxiety feels like a constant background noise: You’re often overthinking, second-guessing, or waiting for the "other shoe to drop."
You’re navigating a "heavy" transition: Whether it’s a career change, a relationship shift, or the weight of cultural and family expectations, it feels more overwhelming than you expected.
You struggle with "the shoulds": You feel like you should be happier, should be more productive, or should be able to handle this on your own.
You want a human connection, not a clinical one: You’re looking for a space that is warm, culturally affirming, and where you don't have to explain your background to be understood.
You don’t need a "big enough" reason to start. Whether you're in the middle of a storm or just feeling stuck in the rain, we can begin right where you are.
What therapy with me feels like
Clients often describe therapy with me as grounding, supportive, and a massive sigh of relief. In our work together:
You can drop the "reliable one" mask: You don’t need to have it all together or have the “right” words.
You won’t be rushed or judged: We move at a pace that feels safe for your nervous system.
Your full experience is understood: You don’t have to minimize your experiences or explain your cultural context.
Over time, therapy helps you:
Calm the noise of anxiety and overthinking.
Feel less emotionally overwhelmed by daily life.
Set boundaries with family and work without the crushing guilt.
Feel steadier, more confident, and more like yourself again.
My approach
My work is trauma-informed, relational, and grounded in the belief that nothing is “wrong” with you — your nervous system has simply been doing its best to cope with a lot of pressure.
I draw from Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which means we gently notice the "autopilot" patterns in your thoughts and behaviors — and work together to shift the ones that keep you feeling stuck or hard on yourself.
For many first-generation adults and people from BIPOC and Latinx communities, being “strong” wasn’t a choice — it was a value you were raised with. I understand the tug-of-war between honoring your roots and finally taking care of your own mental health. This is a space where your full identity is honored.
Why This Work Matters to Me
I believe everyone deserves access to mental health care that feels respectful, affirming, and human. So many of us are taught to push through and stay strong. I’m here to remind you that needing support doesn’t mean you’re weak—it means you’re human.
You’ve spent enough time taking care of everyone else. It’s okay for it to be your turn now.
For Teens & Parents
Many teens I work with feel misunderstood or unsure how to talk about the heavy stuff—and that makes sense. Therapy with me is a space to slow down and feel less alone without the pressure to "talk perfectly."
To the parents: I know you’re looking for someone who will truly listen to your teen and meet them where they are. My goal is to provide a space where they feel respected while helping them find healthy ways to navigate the pressures of school, family, and growing up.
A little about me
I’m a therapist at Mindful Healing Counseling, and I work with teens and adults who have spent a lifetime carrying responsibility for others. I provide online therapy across Illinois, making support accessible from the comfort of your own space.
Beyond credentials, I value showing up as a real, present, and compassionate human. Therapy works best when you feel genuinely seen, not analyzed or rushed.
Outside of therapy I find my own balance by spending time in nature, trying new recipes, and listening to music. I’m a big believer that rest isn't a "reward" we earn—it’s something we all deserve to make space for.
Common Questions

No. Most of my clients start because they’re tired, overwhelmed, or stuck — not because of a single emergency.

That’s completely okay. Many people don’t. We’ll work together and take it one step at a time.

Yes. Many clients appreciate the comfort and flexibility of virtual sessions—it’s often easier to be vulnerable when you’re in your own safe space.
