About Autumn
Autumn Goss is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with three years of clinical experience. She works with adults, teens, and couples who struggle with anxiety, anger, relationship conflict, and life transitions. Her focus includes stress, self-esteem, and coping when life shifts unexpectedly.
She began on a college campus supporting young adults through anxiety, depression, identity questions, and major life changes. That work influenced how she views early relationships and life-stage stressors as shaping emotional regulation. Autumn draws on that background when she helps people recognize patterns that repeat in adulthood.
Autumn also worked on a crisis assessment team in Orange County, where she de-escalated high-risk situations and completed safety evaluations. That experience reinforced her ability to stay calm and steady during intense moments and to make clear, practical plans when things feel overwhelming.
In private practice she helps individuals and couples notice the triggers behind their reactions so they can respond with intention rather than react automatically. With couples she uses a Gottman-informed approach to address attachment wounds, rebuild trust after betrayal, and improve communication. Her work aims to combine evidence-based tools with direct feedback.
Sessions focus on building awareness and concrete skills for managing strong emotions, including anger and persistent anxiety. She asks questions, offers tools, and practices new ways of responding together with the person in front of her. If someone wants to start, she asks them to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
How evidence-based approaches are used online
Autumn uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on emotions and relationships. One approach she often brings into sessions is Gottman-informed work, which centers on improving communication, reducing destructive patterns, and rebuilding trust after breaches. Gottman-informed techniques help with recurring conflict and attachment wounds.She also uses approaches aimed at emotional regulation and awareness. These methods teach people to notice triggers, track physical and thought patterns, and practice alternative responses to anger or anxiety. The goal is practical: recognize the pattern, try a different response, and reflect on what changed.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences. That means trying tools, checking how they feel, and adjusting the plan together rather than imposing a single method.
Confirm the available session formats before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow a quicker check-in when emotions escalate. Some formats need less bandwidth or shorter check-ins and can fit into a lunch break or an evening at home, while others may support deeper work when more time is available.
