About Gian
Gian Sarabia is a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people facing anxiety, depression, trauma, and codependency. He works with concerns like bipolar disorder, stress, addiction, and intimacy-related problems. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and his approach aims to be respectful and compassionate.
He keeps things straightforward in sessions. Conversation, practical skills, and short-term goals guide the work. Gian adapts the pace and focus to each person’s needs instead of using the same plan for everyone.
Gian combines several approaches to fit the problem at hand. He uses cognitive behavioral tools to identify unhelpful thoughts and behavior patterns. He also draws on acceptance and commitment ideas to help people notice difficult feelings and choose values-based actions.
Attachment-based and client-centered work shape how he builds trust and explores relationship patterns. Dialectical behavior therapy strategies are used when people need emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills. These methods are mixed to suit what a person brings to sessions.
Gian has six years of professional experience as a California LMFT - licensed marriage and family therapist. He emphasizes collaborative planning and clear steps to make progress. If you want to explore therapy in English or Spanish, he supports working through these concerns with a practical, person-focused approach.
How his therapeutic approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and codependency when someone wants clearer direction for their life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete steps to change patterns that worsen mood or stress. It often helps with anxiety, sleep problems, and depression. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns affect current intimacy and trust, and it helps people rewrite those patterns in present relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best for their goals and preferences. Techniques can be mixed and adjusted as progress is made so the plan stays relevant to what the person needs.
