About Francisco
Francisco Olmos is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with ten years of professional experience. He creates an open space where people can say what matters to them. He speaks English and Spanish and aims to make conversations easy to follow for busy lives.
People come to him for stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and help managing ADHD-related challenges. He also supports those coping with trauma and abuse, parenting strains, anger, career decisions, and life transitions.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking rather than long lectures. Francisco blends several approaches to match a person’s needs. He uses attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships shape current patterns.
He draws on cognitive behavioral tools to find and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Narrative techniques help people reframe painful stories they tell about themselves. His style is warm and down-to-earth.
He listens without judgment and works collaboratively to set goals. Many sessions include short exercises, gentle reflection, and concrete strategies to try between meetings. New clients can expect straightforward language and step-by-step planning.
Francisco encourages people who feel stuck or overwhelmed to take the next step, complete a brief questionnaire, and arrange a session that fits their schedule.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions that fit your life
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns affect current struggles. It helps people understand why certain emotions and reactions show up again and again in close relationships. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and lift mood. It gives straightforward steps to try between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Then he adapts methods to match those needs in a collaborative way, adjusting as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video works well for deeper conversations, phone can fit a work break or lower bandwidth, and chat or messaging can help with quick check-ins or written reflections. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around school, work, or family life.
