Now accepting new clients for virtual therapy

Fabiola Felix, licensed therapist providing online therapy for teens, young adults, and adults in Chicago and throughout Illinois

Hi, I’m Fabiola (she/her)

I’m a therapist, offering virtual therapy in Chicago and throughout Illinois, helping first-generation adults and professionals navigate anxiety, burnout, cultural expectations, and life transitions.

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.

SCHEDULE WITH FABIOLA

Meet Fabiola

I may be a great fit for you if…

  • "The Reliable One" fatigue has set in: You’re the person everyone leans on, and you’re running on empty.

  • Burnout is affecting your daily life: Whether it’s career stress or "caregiver burnout," you feel stuck in a cycle of "shoulds" and productivity guilt.

  • You are a First-Gen or Latinx Adult: You’re navigating the tug-of-war between honoring your roots and protecting your own mental health.

  • Anxiety is your "background noise": You’re constantly second-guessing yourself or waiting for the next problem to solve.

  • You want a Human, Not Clinical, Connection: You need a therapist who is warm, culturally affirming, and doesn't require you 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, we can begin right where you are.

What therapy with me feels like

Clients often describe our sessions as a "massive sigh of relief." We move at a pace that feels safe for your nervous system, ensuring you never feel rushed or judged.

  • Drop the Mask: You don’t need the "right" words or a script. We start exactly where you are.

  • Evidence-Based & Relational: I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you identify the "autopilot" patterns that keep you stuck, while maintaining a deeply human, trauma-informed connection.

  • Culturally Centered: For many in the BIPOC and Latinx communities, being "strong" wasn't a choice—it was a survival strategy. Here, your full identity is honored, not analyzed.

Over time, online therapy can help 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.

Areas I Support Clients With

Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed by anxiety and burnout. Therapy can help you process life transitions and identity changes.

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.

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.

A little about me

I am a online therapist at Mindful Healing Counseling, dedicated to making mental health care respectful, affirming, and human. Beyond my clinical work, I practice what I teach: that rest isn't a reward. It’s something we all need and deserve.

Outside of therapy I enjoy spending time in nature, trying new recipes, and listening to music.

  • 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.
