Fabiana Robles Fontan

Fabiana Robles Fontan

Therapist

Virtual • Florida


I’m Fabiana Robles Fontan, a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker serving clients throughout Florida. I was born and raised in Puerto Rico, Spanish is my first language, and I am fluent in both Spanish and English. I understand that culture, family, identity, language, and life experiences can influence how we understand ourselves and our mental health.

As a therapist, I strive to be warm, approachable, supportive, and genuinely nonjudgmental. I want therapy to feel like a safe place where you can show up exactly as you are; you don’t have to have everything figured out before you start your journey. I value creating real professional connections with my clients while providing encouragement, motivation, support, and compassion throughout the therapeutic process.

If you’re reading this because you’re considering therapy, you’ve already taken an important step. Reaching out for support can feel uncomfortable or overwhelming, especially if therapy is new to you. My goal is to make the process feel less intimidating, more comfortable, and, most importantly, human.

Cade Ryan

Cade Ryan

Therapist

Virtual • Florida


Above all, I want my clients to know that my priority is to create a space where they feel safe being fully and authentically themselves. As a gay man, I understand the importance of having spaces where identity does not need to be explained, defended, or minimized, and I hope to create that sense of safety for each of my clients. I welcome LGBTQ+ adults and young adults, and I offer affirming therapy where who you are is the starting point, not something you have to justify.

Professionally, I am a Miami-based Licensed Clinical Social Worker offering telehealth therapy to clients across Florida. I completed my Bachelor of Social Work in Indianapolis and my Master of Social Work in Miami. Throughout my career, I have had the opportunity to work with people navigating some of life's most difficult moments.

My experience includes providing therapeutic services within a homeless shelter's substance use treatment program, as well as working in an inpatient hospital setting. I have supported individuals through addiction and substance use recovery, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, medical crises, and major life transitions. I draw on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), harm reduction, solution-focused brief therapy, and positive psychology, and I tailor my approach to what actually fits your life and goals. I am no stranger to difficult conversations, and I want my clients to know that no thought or feeling is unwelcome in our therapeutic space.

Every individual, regardless of background, identity, or lived experience, is welcome in my practice. Whether you are working through recovery, grieving a loss, managing anxiety or depression, or facing a major life change, I would be glad to support you.

I look forward to meeting you!
