About Fanta
Fanta Hardwell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Texas with 12 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem, and depression. She also helps with issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, codependency, substance use, and communication problems.
Her sessions focus on practical skills. She helps people learn emotional regulation, build coping tools, and recognize repeating patterns. Conversations aim to make difficult feelings easier to manage and to reduce impulsive reactions that can damage relationships or work life.
Fanta uses a trauma-informed, person-centered stance. That means she pays attention to past hurt and how it shows up now, while following each person’s goals. She discusses real-life steps clients can take between sessions to practice new responses to anger and stress.
She also brings experience working with athletes on issues like performance anxiety, burnout, identity, and balance between sport and daily life. This background informs her practical focus on routines, boundaries, and stress management that transfer outside sport settings.
Her approach is straightforward and skills-based. Sessions include discussion, skill teaching, and reviewing what worked or didn’t. People are encouraged to try small changes and notice the results before committing to bigger steps.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Fanta describes her work as trauma-informed and person-centered, which means she pays attention to how past injuries affect current reactions and follows each person’s goals. Trauma-informed care involves recognizing how past events shape emotions and responses, and then teaching skills to reduce reactivation of those patterns. Person-centered work focuses on listening to what the client wants and building steps from there.She emphasizes emotional regulation and coping skills in her practice. Emotional regulation training teaches techniques to calm strong feelings and to respond rather than react, which can help with anger, impulsivity, and workplace stress. Skill-based coping work breaks problems into manageable steps so people can try changes between sessions and report back what helped.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist and client review what feels useful and adjust methods over time. That process includes checking goals, trying techniques, and deciding together which tools fit the client’s life and preferences.
