Yuki Sugisaki is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California. She brings 14 years of experience helping people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward. She works in English and Japanese and accepts international clients.
She focuses on addiction and co-occurring mental health concerns alongside mood and anxiety issues. She also supports people facing relationship strain, family conflict, grief, and challenges with self esteem. Many clients come for help with compulsive behaviors, eating concerns, anger, or trouble sleeping.
Her approach mixes Attachment-Based work with Client-Centered listening and practical Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) tools. She draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) techniques when emotion regulation or relationship patterns are central. Sessions tend to balance steady listening with concrete skills and steps to try between meetings.
Yuki has long experience in addiction counseling and supporting people affected by a loved one’s substance use. She describes therapeutic progress as a turn around she is honored to witness, and she aims to help people find clearer direction and safer routines. She also addresses life transitions, career stress, and caregiver strain.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connection patterns shape current relationships and emotional needs. It helps when trust, closeness, or repeated relationship hurts show up in daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and gives practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and behavior change. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on mapping emotional responses in relationships and creating new ways to express needs and repair bonds.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped in the past. Together they decide which methods to use and adjust them over time based on progress and feedback.
