About Fabiola Felix, MSW
Online Therapy for Teens, Young Adults, and Adults Across Chicago & Illinois
Hi, I’m Fabiola (she/her)
If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, stuck in your head, or carrying more than you know how to explain, you’re not alone.
Many people come to therapy with me feeling exhausted, anxious, or disconnected from themselves. Some can name exactly what’s wrong. Others just know something doesn’t feel right anymore.
Either way, you don’t have to figure this out on your own.
Therapy with me is a warm, supportive space where you can slow down, breathe, and finally be honest about what you’re carrying—without pressure, judgment, or having to explain everything perfectly.
Meet Fabiola
Who Am I?
You deserve therapy that feels understanding—not rushed or clinical.
I’m a Hispanic therapist who works with teens (13+), young adults, and adults navigating anxiety, stress, depression, grief, trauma, and major life transitions.
Many of my clients have been “holding it together” for a long time.
They’re often the responsible one, the strong one, or the one who doesn’t ask for help—especially within their family. Over time, that emotional weight builds, even if you’ve learned how to function through it.
Many people I work with come in asking quiet questions like, “What’s wrong with me?” or “Why is it so hard to sit with my emotions or put how I feel into words?”
If you’ve ever felt this way, you’re not alone—and you’re not broken.
I especially enjoy working with Latinx, Hispanic, and BIPOC clients who want therapy that understands cultural values, family expectations, and generational dynamics—without needing to explain or translate their experience.
For people raised in families or cultures where emotions weren’t openly talked about, these patterns make a lot of sense.
Therapy can be a space to slow down, understand where they come from, and gently begin finding your voice—without pressure or shame.
Therapy with me isn’t about fixing you.
It’s about creating space to feel heard, supported, and gently reconnected with yourself.
What Therapy Feels Like With Me
Therapy with me is warm, relational, and collaborative.
You won’t be judged.
You won’t be rushed.
And you won’t be told what you should feel or do.
Instead, we’ll move at your pace and focus on what feels safest and most important to you.
In our first session, the goal is simple: helping you feel comfortable. You won’t be asked to share everything or move faster than you’re comfortable. We’ll talk about what brought you here, what you’re hoping for, and what kind of support feels right for you right now.
Over time, therapy may help you:
Understand what you’re feeling instead of feeling overwhelmed by it
Calm the constant overthinking and self-criticism
See how past experiences still show up in your day-to-day life
Say no, set boundaries, and feel less guilty about it
Feel more confident trusting yourself and your decisions
Feel steadier, calmer, and more like yourself again
You don’t need the right words. We’ll find them together.
For Teens (13+)
Many teens I work with feel overwhelmed, misunderstood, or unsure how to talk about what they’re going through—and that makes sense.
Therapy doesn’t require talking perfectly, opening up all at once, or knowing exactly what to say. Sessions are a space to slow down, feel less alone, and explore what’s going on in a way that feels manageable and respectful.
Parents often tell me they’re looking for someone who will truly listen to their teen and meet them where they are. That’s exactly what I aim to do.
I Love Working With:
Teens navigating anxiety, stress, or emotional overwhelm
Young adults feeling behind, stuck, or unsure of themselves
Adults carrying family pressure, guilt, or responsibility
Someone processing grief, trauma, or past experiences
Hispanic, Latinx, or BIPOC clients seeking culturally affirming care
Feeling emotionally tired and ready for support that actually feels supportive
If life feels heavy right now, you don’t have to carry it alone.
How I Help
My approach to therapy is compassionate, flexible, and trauma-informed.
I draw from evidence-based approaches like CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and person-centered therapy — but more importantly, I adapt therapy to you. There’s no one-size-fits-all here.
Together, we’ll explore what’s been weighing on you and gently build tools that help you feel more balanced, confident, and supported in your daily life.
Healing doesn’t have to be rushed — and it doesn’t have to be done alone.
Why This Work Matters to Me
I believe everyone deserves access to mental health care that feels respectful, affirming, and human.
So many people — especially those from marginalized or culturally rich communities — are taught to push through, stay strong, and not ask for help. I’m here to remind you that needing support doesn’t mean you’re weak. It means you’re human.
Therapy can be a place where you finally get to show up as you are.
More About Me
Outside of therapy, I enjoy being active, spending time in nature, trying new recipes, reading, exploring new places, and soaking up the energy of concerts and festivals.
These moments help keep me grounded and connected — and I believe joy and rest are just as important as healing.
