About Gian
Gian Sarabia, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), is licensed in California and has six years of clinical experience. He works with concerns such as anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related problems, addictions, and ADHD. He also addresses relationship and family stress, sleep problems, self-esteem, and career-related strain. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish, and he accepts international clients.
Gian describes his approach as collaborative and adaptive. He uses methods from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. In practice he talks through difficulties, helps people spot unhelpful patterns, and supports them in building clearer strategies for daily life.
He pays attention to both emotional patterns and practical tasks. That can mean working on communication, addressing commitment or abandonment concerns, managing intense mood swings, or building routines for sleep and focus. He also brings experience with identity and relationship questions that affect LGBT people and those involved in kink and alternative sexual culture.
Gian frames therapy as a shared process. He adapts pace and techniques to what a person needs, focusing on skills, values, and steps that fit everyday life. He notes the importance of respectful, sensitive interaction and of shaping treatment around the client’s goals.
To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How Gian applies common approaches in remote work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and patterns that get in the way of daily goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like low mood or worry. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gian collaborates with clients to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. He adjusts techniques over time based on what helps in practice. Confirm current session options before booking, since formats are not specified in his biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, save travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also support steady practice of skills between sessions and make it simpler to work on routines like sleep or daily structure.03
