About Francisco
Francisco Olmos is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with ten years of clinical experience. He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, self-esteem problems, relationship strain, parenting stress, anger, and life transitions.
Francisco keeps sessions straightforward and practical. He listens first, then works with each person to identify patterns that keep problems repeating. Conversations often focus on what happens in relationships, how past attachment experiences shape reactions, and which thoughts and behaviors are getting in the way.
His work draws on client-centered methods that prioritize the person’s perspective. He also uses cognitive behavioral strategies to identify unhelpful thinking and develop clearer actions. Narrative and attachment-based approaches help people reframe their stories and understand how old relationship dynamics show up now.
Sessions weave mindfulness skills into everyday routines so people can notice urges and choose different responses, especially when anger or strong emotion comes up. Francisco frames tools as practice drills people can use between sessions to test what works in real life.
People who contact him can expect a conversational style that focuses on problem solving and making changes that matter. He works in English and Spanish and offers support for a wide range of concerns, including parenting, adoption and foster care issues, attachment problems, and career or coaching goals.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence present reactions. Online sessions can use this lens to map current triggers and safety needs in relationships. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s perspective and priorities. In remote sessions this means the therapist follows what matters most to the client and uses their feedback to shape each meeting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and then tests changes in small steps. CBT tools in online work include short behavioral experiments and thought records that people try between sessions. Finding the best approach is collaborative. Francisco treats approaches as tools to try rather than fixed labels. He will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels useful, then adjust methods over time based on results. Confirm the session formats before you book, since options are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and avoid travel when schedules clash. If you want to use techniques like mindfulness exercises or CBT homework, those translate well to remote meetings and can be integrated into everyday routines.Areas of focus
