Getting to know Gustavo Olvera
Hi there, I'm Gustavo!
Hello! I'm Gustavo Olvera, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) serving clients via telehealth throughout the State of California. I hold a Master's in Psychology from National University. My long-time approach to therapy is to meet clients where they are and work with them to identify goals that will help improve their quality of life. I believe we all have the potential to succeed and achieve greatness. A healthy mind is key to success, as we often have to make critical decisions daily. I believe we can all reach our desired goals by increasing and maintaining a positive outlook on our mental health.
My approach
My approach to therapy is person-centered and goal-oriented, meaning I adapt to your needs, personality, and what works best for you. Other approaches I utilize as part of treatment include Cognitive Behavioral Approaches (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), personal empowerment, trauma-focused therapy, strength and solution-focused techniques, and spirituality to further assist you in achieving your goals. I also explore childhood issues, trauma, and attachment, as childhood trauma is often the root of the problems and challenges we experience today.
My focus
As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I have developed skills to provide support through various evidence-based therapeutic theories. I specialize in working with families, children, parenting, co-parenting, trauma, anxiety, depression, child and adult behavior modification, LGBTQ+ clients, victims of abuse, and other challenging areas and mental health conditions.
My communication style
I am caring, non-judgmental, empathic, relaxed, and conversational. As a therapist, I like to connect with my clients on a deeper, more personal level to truly understand their needs, concerns, and challenges.
