Gaiane Akopian, LMFT

Psychotherapist
CA
Hello, my name is Gaia Akopian. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a Master's in Counseling from National University. I provide psychotherapy to California residents via Telehealth. I work with adolescents, teens, children, families, as well as adults. In my practice, my main areas of focus are anxiety, depression, life stressors, parenting, communication/relational issues, loss and grief, addictions, low self-esteem, domestic violence, and existential crisis. I practice a Client-Centered, also known as Person-Centered, approach to therapy to help my clients feel better and achieve their goals in the therapeutic process. My approach My therapeutic approach is eclectic, meaning it is based on the individual needs of the client. My main approaches are Psychodynamic, Existential, Person-Centered, and Solution-Focused when necessary. I also apply Motivational Interviewing and Positive Psychology in my practice because I believe you have innate strength and abilities for change, personal growth, recovery, healing, and to unravel your potential given the right tools and guidance. My focus Through my extensive experience working in city colleges and the school district, I've discovered my passion for working with teenagers and adolescents. It creates a successful dynamic, helping young individuals navigate the complexity of their experience and achieve therapeutic goals. My other focus is working with adults or parents who have parenting challenges and stressors. I am a certified domestic violence advocate with DV work experience and see clients affected by domestic violence abuse. I also specialize in loss and grief, addictions, and anxiety. My communication style My communication style is nonjudgmental, calm, and trustworthy. I create a safe space for my clients, making them feel at ease and less anxious. I practice the art of active listening, tuning in to the client's feelings and emotions.
