Kariann Favillo, LCSW — Therapist in Florida

Hi there, I'm Kariann!

I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for over ten years, working with diverse populations across the age spectrum. My career began working with children, then eventually families, adults, and, more recently, a complex Veteran population.

My focus

I have a background working with children and childhood trauma, adults/families, and Veterans. I am comfortable and have experience treating most diagnoses, age groups, and populations.

My approach

My approach to treatment is client-centered. We will work collaboratively on developing a treatment plan based on your priorities, goals, and abilities. Tackling both long and short-term goals, we will move at a pace that is comfortable without being overwhelming.

My communication style

I genuinely try to keep our space feeling as safe for you as possible. Being comfortable with me and our practice is of utmost importance for progress. I strive to create a relationship that makes you feel content when being open and vulnerable.

My journey to mental healthcare

I believe in the saying "it takes a village," but not just in reference to raising children. A sense of support and safety is integral to human development and healing. Anyone coming to therapy is already moving in the right direction towards their goals, and I love being able to help them reach their potential along the way.

My goals for you

My approach to goal setting is typically client-led. With my help, we will develop a treatment plan based on your long and short-term goals and work in session to move the needle forward each time. Checking in on goals is a great way to measure progress and reevaluate/readjust as needed.

Our first session

During our first session, we will cover a thorough history together, discuss goals, limits, boundaries, and preferences. I want you to get to know me, and me you to get to know me. Your comfort and peace of mind are always a priority, so I try to use our first session to get to know how to best serve those areas.
