About Fantanesh
Fantanesh Dixon is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) practicing in Nevada with six years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, and depression and offers practical, problem-focused help for everyday struggles.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test different ways of responding to them. She also draws on mindfulness techniques to teach simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity. Fantanesh incorporates psychodynamic ideas at times to look at patterns that repeat across relationships and life stages.
Sessions are structured and goal-oriented. Fantanesh works with clients to set clear, manageable goals and to track small changes between meetings. Expect concrete tools you can try between sessions and brief reviews of what worked and what did not.
Her background includes a social work degree from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, class of 2016. Over six years she has focused on helping people manage mood and worry so they can handle daily responsibilities with less interference.
Fantanesh asks clients to complete a short matching questionnaire before the first appointment. That helps identify priorities and suggests which techniques to start with. The initial phase is about finding what fits and creating a short plan for the first few sessions.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Fantanesh uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT sessions tend to include agenda-setting, worksheets, and concrete experiments to try between meetings. Mindfulness Therapy focuses on short attention and breathing exercises that reduce reactivity and help with symptoms of anxiety and low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will review your goals and reactions together and recommend which methods to try first. The plan is collaborative - clients and she decide which tools to keep using or adjust as needs change.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins on difficult days, and remove travel time. Some people prefer sessions that focus on practicing CBT exercises live, while others choose a session for a skill review or brief coping plan. Discussing format and timing at the start helps match sessions to everyday life.
