About Gian
Gian Sarabia is a California-based licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) who helps people facing anxiety, depression, trauma and bipolar-related concerns. He also works with those dealing with relationship and intimacy issues, stress, addictions, sleep problems, ADHD, and questions around identity and self-esteem. Gian speaks English and Spanish and accepts international clients.
Gian keeps sessions straightforward and respectful. He listens closely and adapts conversation and goals to each person's situation. He aims to help clients notice what matters to them, build clearer communication, and find ways to manage strong emotions and daily stress.
With six years of clinical experience, Gian blends several well-known approaches to match how a person prefers to work. He uses methods that focus on thoughts and behavior, emotional processing, acceptance of difficult feelings, and exploring attachment patterns in relationships. The mix is chosen to fit the problem, not to follow a fixed formula.
Clients can expect practical skills alongside space to talk about past hurts. Gian often offers tools for managing intense emotions, improving sleep and daily routines, and making clearer choices in work and relationships. He encourages small, doable steps toward the goals people set in therapy.
He describes starting therapy as following an internal compass toward better emotional health. Gian adapts each treatment plan to what an individual wants and needs, and he discusses options clearly so people can decide what feels right for them.
Therapeutic approaches useful for online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, emphasizes noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and choosing actions that match personal values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and motivation struggles by clarifying what matters and breaking problems into manageable steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It often helps with sleep problems, anxiety, depression, and day-to-day stress by giving concrete tools to try between sessions.
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in relationships and how early connection affects current trust and closeness. This approach is useful for intimacy issues, communication problems, and understanding why certain relationship patterns repeat.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through goals, try methods that fit the client's style, and adjust the plan as progress is reviewed. Clients and the therapist decide together what feels most helpful.
Please confirm which session formats are offered before booking, since the original profile does not list specific options. Online therapy can make scheduling easier, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time so sessions fit around work or family routines. It also accommodates preferences about being on camera or using audio only depending on what the therapist and client agree works best.
