Fallon Panetta, MS, MHC-LP

I approach therapy as a space where you can feel comfortable being yourself, talk openly, and begin to make sense of what’s been weighing on you. As a Mental Health Counselor–Limited Permit (LMHC-LP) with over 19 years of experience in the counseling field, I bring both clinical training and a strong understanding of how challenges show up in everyday life.

My work is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), along with mindfulness and strength-based approaches, helping you recognize patterns in your thoughts, emotions, and reactions that may be keeping you feeling stuck. From there, we work together to process what you’re going through and find ways to respond in ways that feel more manageable and aligned with who you are.

I specialize in working with anxiety, depression, stress, anger, trauma, self-esteem, and building effective coping skills. I work with adults, teens, and children, and I am mindful that each person comes in with their own experiences, circumstances, and goals. I take the time to understand your perspective so that the work we do feels relevant and individualized rather than one-size-fits-all.
My style is warm, supportive, and easy to talk to. I focus on creating a space where you feel accepted and not judged, and where you can explore your thoughts and emotions at your own pace. At the same time, I help you build practical tools you can carry into your daily life, so you begin to feel more confident in how you handle challenges and less stuck in patterns that no longer serve you.

I offer both in-person and telehealth sessions to provide flexibility and meet you where you are.
