How Fanta works
Fanta uses trauma-informed, person-centered care that follows each person’s goals and strengths. She works with adults on anger management and recovery from substance use, and offers support for those affected by crime-related trauma. She also applies clinical knowledge to athletes facing burnout, identity questions, and performance stress.
With 12 years of experience as a licensed clinical social worker, she draws on real-world practice to guide sessions. She encourages small, achievable steps and collaborates with each person to set goals that feel manageable. Progress is measured by what matters to the client, not by rigid milestones.

Approaches That Guide Online Work
Fanta uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and safety. A trauma-informed approach helps people process and move forward after abuse or violent events by prioritizing pacing, stabilization, and clear steps for managing distress. Person-centered methods place the client’s goals and strengths at the center of care, so sessions are guided by what the person wants to work on and when. Brief skills-based coaching targets emotional regulation and coping strategies, teaching concrete tools for handling anger, anxiety, and stress.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their concerns, try approaches that fit their goals, and adjust tactics when something is not working. This means clients help shape what happens in sessions and can expect ongoing check-ins about progress and fit.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing sessions from more convenient locations. It can also let people maintain continuity of care through relocations or schedule changes, while keeping sessions focused on skills, reflection, and problem solving.
