About Gian
Gian Sarabia is a California LMFT with six years of clinical experience. He works with adults facing anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma and abuse, and a wide range of relationship and family concerns. He offers sessions in English and Spanish and accepts international clients.
Gian focuses on practical talk that helps with everyday struggles at home. He listens to what feels most urgent and then uses tools from several approaches to respond. Sessions cover things like stress, sleep problems, self‑esteem, intimacy worries, and challenges related to addiction or ADHD.
His approach draws on acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment work, and cognitive behavioral strategies. That means conversations about values and small behavior changes, alongside attention to how attachment patterns shape close relationships. Dialectical and client‑centered methods also appear when they suit the situation.
People who come for help often want clearer communication, less reactivity, or ways to cope after trauma. Gian helps people notice patterns, try small experiments, and build skills that can ease day‑to‑day life. He also addresses specific topics like blended family stress, caregiver strain, body image, and issues connected to kink and alternative sex culture.
Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Fees vary by location. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online therapy options button.
How sessions work
How Gian integrates approaches in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take small committed steps toward those values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and decisions that affect family life. Attachment‑based work looks at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds influence present‑day reactions, which can help with intimacy and family conflict. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, targets specific thoughts and behaviors with practical strategies for sleep, mood, and stress management.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying things, checking what helps, and making adjustments together rather than following a fixed plan.
The therapist's profile does not list exact session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, shorter check‑ins during a lunch break, sessions without being on camera, or scheduling from another location when travel would be difficult. Licensed professionals often use online sessions to maintain continuity of care and to work through relationship, mood, and trauma issues when in‑person visits are hard to arrange.
