About Francisco

Francisco Olmos is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with 10 years of experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, self-esteem, relationship concerns, and life coaching. He speaks English and Spanish and works with adults on a range of emotional and practical struggles.

He keeps sessions straightforward and conversational. People can expect to talk about what feels most pressing and leave with a clear next step. He uses listening and questions to help untangle thoughts and patterns that get in the way of daily life.

Francisco draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current bonds. He also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. Narrative therapy helps people rewrite the stories they tell about themselves and their relationships.

For someone in a blended household, he can help sort through loyalty conflicts, step-parenting stress, co-parenting friction with an ex-partner, and shifting routines after remarriage or new partners. Sessions aim to be practical - clarifying goals, testing small changes, and tracking what works.

He frames therapy as a collaborative process. Clients set the pace and priorities. Before booking, people should confirm current session options and the available formats that fit their schedules.

How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns show up now. In a few simple conversations a therapist can help identify trust and closeness patterns that influence current partnerships and parenting choices. This approach can be useful for people dealing with loyalty conflicts in blended homes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Sessions work on spotting unhelpful thoughts, testing them, and trying new behaviors to reduce stress and anxiety and improve daily routines.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your goals, preferences, and the practical issues you face, then suggest methods to try. Decisions about which techniques to use are made collaboratively and can change as needs shift.

Confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are supported. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people join from quieter surroundings, use phone-only calls when camera time is difficult, or schedule sessions during a lunch break without a commute. These practical benefits help therapy fit into everyday life.
