About Gian

Gian Sarabia is a California-licensed therapist who brings six years of clinical experience to his work supporting people through anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma and abuse, psychosis, and borderline personality challenges. As an LMFT - a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist - he combines clinical training with a compassionate, respectful approach that honors each person’s individual story and needs.

He adapts conversations and treatment plans to fit the unique circumstances of every client, creating practical pathways toward improved emotional health and relationship functioning. Gian places particular emphasis on tailoring care rather than applying one-size-fits-all solutions, and he frames the decision to seek therapy as an important first step toward well-being.

Clients can expect thoughtful, sensitive work focused on their specific goals, with an emphasis on collaboration and responsiveness to change. Gian values clear communication and works to help people build skills and insight that translate into everyday life. His practice centers on meeting people where they are and guiding them toward sustainable progress over time.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Gian draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify personal values, build psychological flexibility, and take committed action toward meaningful life goals. ACT is useful for anxiety, depression, and situations where avoidance limits daily functioning.

He also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationship patterns influence current emotional responses and interpersonal dynamics. This approach can help with intimacy-related issues, relationship conflicts, and healing from abandonment or attachment wounds.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Gian works collaboratively with each person to determine what methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. He tailors interventions over time based on progress and feedback so therapy remains practical and client-centered.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions are delivered, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, access care from different locations, and maintain continuity of support when life circumstances change, while still working with licensed professionals committed to effective, evidence-informed care.
