Gian Sarabia is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California who helps people facing low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, bipolar symptoms, and relationship concerns. He works with adults dealing with trauma and abuse, addiction, sleep problems, ADHD, and questions about intimacy and sexual identity. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish, and international clients are accepted.
Gian uses a mix of practical, talk-based methods. He listens closely and adapts conversations to each person's needs. He focuses on building clearer goals, skills to manage strong feelings, and steps that fit everyday life.
In practice he draws from cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to find values-driven action. Attachment-informed ideas guide work on intimacy and relationship patterns. He also uses client-centered and emotion-focused elements to create a respectful space to process difficult experiences.
Gian has six years of clinical experience as a California LMFT. He frames starting therapy as a first step toward emotional health and collaborates with people to shape a plan that feels right for them. He aims to be straightforward, calm, and practical during sessions.
People who choose therapy with him can expect clear, short-term goals alongside longer work on identity, relationships, and self-esteem. He tailors pace and tools to each person’s situation and priorities.
Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts, clarifying what matters to you, and taking small actions toward those values. It can help with low self-esteem, anxiety, and feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to change patterns that cause distress. It is useful for depression, anxiety, and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns people form in relationships and helps identify new ways of relating to partners and close others when intimacy causes pain.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gian will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a quick appointment is needed. It also lets people work with a therapist who speaks their language even if they live elsewhere. Ask about scheduling, length, and any practical considerations when you set up your first appointment.
