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.

Celia Cirello

Therapist

Virtual • Florida


I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who takes a holistic and compassionate approach to therapy, supporting the mind, body, and spirit throughout the healing process. I believe people open up where they feel safest and most understood, so creating a comfortable, nonjudgmental environment is one of the most important parts of my work.

I have experience working with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families in a variety of settings. I specialize in supporting clients navigating anxiety, depression, personality disorders, relationship challenges, substance use concerns, ADHD, behavioral challenges, family conflict, self-esteem issues, life transitions, and emotional regulation difficulties. I help clients better understand their emotions, patterns, and relationships while building healthier coping skills, stronger self-awareness, and greater confidence in themselves and their lives. I also value incorporating psychoeducation into sessions so clients feel empowered with both insight and practical tools they can apply outside of therapy.

My philosophy is that we are never too old to heal, grow, or rediscover joy. I strive to help clients turn pain into wisdom, reconnect with their strengths, and create meaningful change in their lives.
