About Francisco
Francisco Olmos is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with 10 years of clinical experience. He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, relationship and family concerns, parenting struggles, and life transitions. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.
Francisco encourages straightforward conversation about what is happening now and how it affects everyday life. He uses practical methods from cognitive behavioral therapy to notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. He also draws on attachment-based and client-centered approaches to understand how relationships shape feelings and behavior.
In session he focuses on clear goals and simple skills people can practice between meetings. That might include tracking patterns of thought, testing new ways of behaving, or using brief mindfulness exercises to reduce overwhelm. He frames work as problem-focused and step-by-step rather than abstract.
Francisco has supported people through loss, complicated grief, and trauma-related concerns, and he addresses issues such as anger, self-esteem, career shifts, and ADHD-related challenges. He also helps with adoption and foster care matters, blended family issues, and fatherhood questions.
To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Sessions use a cancellable subscription payment model that varies with location. He does not accept international clients.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Francisco commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thinking patterns and test new behaviors. CBT work online can include setting clear goals, tracking thoughts between meetings, and trying short behavioral experiments in daily life. Attachment-based work looks at how early and current relationship patterns shape feelings and expectations; online sessions can map those patterns and plan different ways of relating.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Francisco treats approach selection as collaborative. He reviews needs, goals, and preferences and adjusts methods as therapy unfolds rather than sticking to a single style.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it simpler to fit sessions into a weeknight or a lunch break, allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time for people balancing work or family responsibilities. Therapists can also assign short between-session exercises and use digital notes to track progress, which helps keep therapy practical and action-oriented.
