About Francisco
Francisco Olmos is a California licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 10 years of clinical experience. He works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, relationship challenges, parenting strains, anger, and other life changes. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.
Francisco keeps things direct and practical. He listens for the patterns that keep problems repeating. Then he helps people name those patterns and try small changes that can shift how they react and relate.
He uses a mix of approaches to match what each person needs. That can include attachment-focused work to look at relationship history, client-centered conversation to follow what matters now, and cognitive behavioral ideas to test thoughts and behaviors. Narrative and mindfulness tools are also part of his toolbox when they fit the goals.
In a session he focuses on clear steps people can use between meetings. That might be short experiments to test a belief, breathing and attention exercises for moments of overwhelm, or practicing new ways of speaking with others. The work aims to reduce reactivity and improve day-to-day coping.
Francisco invites practical problem solving alongside deeper reflection. He encourages people to try small changes, track what happens, and adjust as needed. To begin, he asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
Approaches used and how online sessions can help
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past relationships shape current reactions. It helps people notice patterns in close relationships and learn different ways to connect and respond. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on what matters to the person now. The therapist follows the client's concerns and supports clearer self-understanding. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) zeroes in on thoughts and behaviors that maintain distress. It uses practical exercises and experiments to change reactions and reduce overwhelm.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose which methods to try based on the person's goals, history, and what feels useful. That planning can change as progress is made, and sessions often mix techniques from different approaches.
