About Gian
Gian Sarabia is a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people facing anxiety, depression, bipolar concerns, trauma and abuse, and problems with intimacy and relationships. He works in both English and Spanish. Gian aims to make the first step feel manageable and respectful.
He uses a mix of approaches to fit each person. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. Clients can expect practical skills plus attention to deeper patterns that shape feeling and behavior.
Background and approach
Gian draws on Jungian ideas to look at personal stories, symbols, and recurring life themes. He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to build moments of clearer thinking and purposeful action. Those tools can help with stress, sleep problems, self-esteem, and addiction challenges.
His style is collaborative and direct. He listens for the patterns behind repeated struggles like abandonment worries or attachment problems. Then he helps set small, realistic steps toward change.
Gian has six years of professional experience and holds a California licensed marriage and family therapist credential, LMFT. He works with people dealing with a wide range of concerns including ADHD, career questions, caregiver stress, body image, blended family issues, and some personality-related challenges. To begin, he asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions that fit their routine.
This helps both client and therapist decide how to work together and what to focus on first.

Online support
Approach and online options for therapy
Gian combines Jungian therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Attachment-Based ideas to support change. Jungian therapy looks at personal stories, recurring symbols, and life patterns to help people understand why certain issues repeat. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck and choose actions that match their values. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns affect current connections and intimacy. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Gian will talk with clients about goals, symptoms, and preferences and together decide which methods to use. This lets the plan change as needs evolve and keeps the process collaborative. Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for more traditional therapy conversations and seeing nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits the day. Live chat or text messaging can be used for brief check-ins, coping reminders, and ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and different routines while keeping focus on measurable steps and deeper personal work.We will earn a commission if you sign up through our link, at no cost to you.
