Gian Sarabia, LMFT

Gian Sarabia is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California. He works with people facing anxiety, depression, bipolar concerns, trauma and abuse, and issues around intimacy and relationships. Gian speaks English and Spanish and aims to make the first steps toward help feel manageable and clear.

Gian uses straightforward conversation to learn what matters to each person. He listens for patterns in thoughts, feelings, and relationships. From there he shapes a plan that fits a person's goals and daily life, rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach.

He draws on a mix of practical methods. These include cognitive behavioral tools to test unhelpful thinking, acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and action, and attachment-based work to understand relationship patterns. He also uses client-centered techniques to keep sessions focused on the person in front of him.

Gian has six years of professional experience as a practicing therapist. He emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion while encouraging small, steady changes. He can talk with people about concerns such as stress, sleep problems, addictions, self-esteem, career questions, ADHD, and many relationship and family issues.

People meet him for direct, conversational work that aims to make daily life easier to manage. He invites clients to shape the work together and to check in on progress as they go.

Approaches that translate well to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small steps toward those values even when thoughts and feelings are difficult. It is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape expectations and reactions. It can help with intimacy problems, communication patterns, and relationship stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide which tools to try first and adjust the plan as progress is made.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make scheduling easier and reduce travel time. It can also allow brief check-ins when a full session is not possible and make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy week. Licensed professionals can use these methods to help people work through midlife questions, relationship challenges, and mood or trauma symptoms in a collaborative way.
