About Dianne
She frames sessions around practical goals and steady progress. Dr. Fabii draws on client-centered methods to listen and validate, then brings in cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thoughts. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused tools help people find next steps and make small, concrete changes.
Her background includes work with adults and children across schools and community settings. She has experience helping people with relationship struggles, grief and loss, parenting challenges, attention and executive functioning concerns, and career transitions. She has also supported those coping with trauma, panic attacks, and mood concerns.
Dr. Fabii has spent significant time in southern India and researched arranged marriage practices for her doctoral dissertation. That experience informs her understanding of cultural pressures around marriage and family for Indian-American clients. She uses that cultural insight when it fits a client's story.
In sessions she focuses on clear communication, practical skills, and steady accountability. People can expect straightforward suggestions they can try between meetings and a collaborative plan that adjusts to progress and setbacks.

How these approaches guide online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflecting concerns and priorities so the person feels truly heard. This style helps when someone needs validation and a safe place to sort feelings.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches simple exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, mood concerns, panic, and practical coping during life transitions.
Finding the best approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, then recommend which methods to try first. That plan is revisited and adjusted as progress is made, so therapy stays relevant to the person's needs.

Online work can make it simpler to continue therapy through school breaks, job changes, or when juggling caregiving responsibilities.
