Fabricio Moreira, RCC | Registered Clinical Counsellor

Accepting New Referrals

Fabricio (also called Fab) is a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC #26960) with the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors (BCACC). He offers online counselling throughout British Columbia, so you can meet with him from anywhere in the province.

Fab works with diverse communities, including neurodivergent people, immigrants and newcomers, BIPOC communities, and 2SLGBTQIA+ people. During his master's studies, he worked as a mental health worker in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside, supporting people living with trauma and addictions.

His approach is existential and psychoanalytic, and he also draws on solution-focused therapy, Gestalt therapy, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). He believes cultural and relational factors are central to mental wellness.

Whether you're looking for support with perfectionism, performance anxiety, trauma, addictions, or a major life transition, Fab offers an inclusive, strengths-based space to work toward change.

Supports for Men

Many men were taught to handle stress, grief, anger and loneliness on their own. That can make it hard to say that something is wrong, let alone ask someone for help. Fabricio offers a space where men can talk openly about work pressure, relationships, identity, addiction, and the expectations they carry, without being judged. Therapy is collaborative and practical, with room for the deeper questions when you want them. Learn more about therapy for men.

Addictions and Compulsive Behaviours

Struggling with alcohol, nicotine, gambling, gaming, social media or pornography can feel isolating, and many people carry shame long before they ask for help. While completing his master’s degree, Fabricio worked as a mental health worker in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside, supporting people living with addictions and trauma. He brings that experience to his private practice. Sessions are respectful and non-judgmental. They focus on understanding what the behaviour does for you, what sits underneath it, and what change could look like on your own terms.

Perfectionism

Perfectionism often looks like high standards from the outside. Inside, it can mean constant self-criticism, procrastination, burnout, and the fear that any mistake proves you aren’t good enough. Fabricio explores where those standards come from and how they show up at work, in school, and in relationships. Together, you build a kinder, more flexible way to relate to your goals without giving up what matters to you. His approach draws on existential and psychoanalytic ideas alongside practical tools such as CBT and solution-focused therapy. See more on perfectionism therapy.

Newcomers and Immigrants

Moving to a new country can mean losing your career, your language, your community and your sense of who you are, all at once. Culture shock, loneliness and pressure to start over are common, and they rarely get named in a typical counselling session. Fabricio works with newcomers on adjusting to life in Canada, changing careers after immigration, and balancing the culture you come from with the one you’re building a life in. His practice treats culture and relationships as central parts of wellbeing. Sessions are available in English and Portuguese.
