About Sal
Sal Fata is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with four years of counseling experience. He works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, LGBTQ-related concerns, relationship strain, and depression. He focuses on helping people who struggle with people-pleasing, codependency, and feeling overwhelmed by others' needs.
Sal aims to make sessions a place to talk plainly about what is hard. He encourages honest conversation about boundaries, guilt, shame, and isolation. Sessions commonly include talking through specific situations, practicing ways to say no, and sorting out what matters to the client.
He uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address patterns that keep people stuck. That often means looking at how thoughts and behaviors interact, and trying small practical changes between sessions. Sal pays attention to issues like abandonment, blended family stress, and problems tied to money or work.
People who come for help with addiction-related concerns or obsessive thoughts work on concrete coping skills and relapse prevention strategies. Those wrestling with relationship pain may focus on communication skills, managing jealousy, or negotiating separation and divorce decisions.
Sessions are offered in English and take place with consideration for each person's schedule. Cost varies with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, the process starts by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling an initial session.
How sessions work
Evidence-based approaches and online sessions
Sal draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on thinking patterns and behavior change. Cognitive-focused work examines how thoughts influence feelings and actions, helping people spot unhelpful thinking and practice alternative responses. Behavioral techniques emphasize small experiments and practical strategies to change routines, manage cravings, or reduce avoidance in anxiety.He also uses skills-based approaches for relationship and communication problems. That looks like role-playing conversations, rehearsing boundary statements, and breaking down moments of jealousy or codependent responding into manageable steps. These methods can help with addictions, obsessive behaviors, and with improving everyday interactions.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try techniques, and adjust plans based on what helps. Sessions are adapted as needs and preferences become clearer.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand it. Therapists and licensed professionals often use those practical benefits to help people maintain steady work on their goals.
