About Earl

Earl Liotti is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with nine years of clinical experience. He works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, self-esteem issues, and life transitions.

He begins by listening to how the client describes their situation and uses that as the starting point. Sessions focus on clear, practical steps rather than jargon. Earl mixes conversational listening with techniques drawn from cognitive behavioral work and attachment-informed approaches.

Clients who struggle with anger or resentment can expect straightforward conversations about patterns, triggers, and how feelings show up in relationships and at work. Earl brings experience treating trauma and addiction, and he uses a range of methods to address those problems alongside mood and behavioral concerns.

His style is direct and nonjudgmental. He acknowledges how hard it can feel to ask for help and works with people to set achievable goals. Treatment often includes exploring past attachment experiences, identifying unhelpful thought patterns, and practicing mindful ways to respond in heated moments.

Earl offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. Costs vary with location and services are delivered through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled.

How Earl blends approaches for online work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people see where old expectations influence anger, trust, and closeness in relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical skills to notice unhelpful thinking and try different responses in stressful moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Earl will talk with each person about their goals and pick methods that fit those aims. That process is collaborative - the therapist and client decide together what to try and adjust as progress is reviewed.

Specific session formats are not listed here, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited, and let people meet from wherever they are located. Those practical benefits help people sustain regular work on anger, relationships, and related concerns without promising any particular outcome.
