About Francisco
Francisco Olmos is a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 10 years of clinical experience. He helps people cope with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, parenting concerns, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and other life changes. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish to reflect his language abilities.
Francisco favors a direct, approachable style. He creates simple opportunities to talk through difficult feelings and practical problems. He uses conversational techniques so people can name what feels wrong, notice patterns, and try small changes between sessions.
His work draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape present struggles. He also uses client-centered listening and cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and test different actions. Narrative therapy is used at times to help people reframe painful stories about themselves.
Many people come for help managing parenting stress, family tension, or the fallout from separation and divorce. Francisco also supports clients dealing with grief, abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, and challenges like body image, codependency, or anger. He tailors the pace of work to what each person needs.
In sessions he combines listening with practical steps - for example, short behavioral experiments, mindful awareness exercises, and reframing exercises from narrative work. If you want to try therapy, he asks that you complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to get started.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in close relationships. It helps people recognize how past bonds affect current trust, closeness, and conflict. This approach can be useful for people dealing with parenting stress, separation, or recurring relationship difficulties.Client-centered therapy centers on careful listening and reflecting back what someone says. It helps people feel understood and sort through emotions before deciding on next steps. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors, offering small experiments to change unhelpful patterns and ease symptoms like anxiety or low mood.
Finding the right approach is often collaborative. Francisco will discuss your goals, try methods that fit your situation, and adjust based on what helps. Many clients try a mix of listening, mindfulness practice, and CBT-style tasks to see what resonates.
