About Francisco
Francisco Olmos is a California licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with ten years of clinical experience. He aims to make the first step easier by offering a calm, nonjudgmental space for people to talk about what feels hard. He greets new clients with straightforwardness and support so they can begin addressing stressors without extra pressure.
In sessions he focuses on real-life problems like anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma. He also helps people with relationship and intimacy-related concerns, parenting stress, career shifts, and coping with major life changes. Francisco works with issues that range from abandonment and attachment wounds to anger, body image, and self-esteem struggles.
His approach blends several practical methods. He uses Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early relationship patterns affect current life. Client-Centered principles guide sessions so clients set the pace and shape the goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Francisco also integrates Narrative and Mindfulness approaches to help people reframe stories about themselves and build present-moment coping skills. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused, with an emphasis on steps a person can use between meetings. He speaks English and Spanish and practices in California.

How these approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and connections; online sessions can be used to identify those patterns and practice new ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client's experience and priorities, so sessions focus on listening, reflecting, and letting the person set goals and pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses exercises to change unhelpful patterns; this approach often involves homework and practical skills you can apply between meetings.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to see which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaboration includes checking what feels useful in early sessions and adjusting methods as needed.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session options before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, shorten commute time, and allow quick check-ins when schedules are tight. It also supports ongoing work like CBT homework, narrative rewriting, and practicing attachment-related skills between sessions.
