Since I started working with Fabian Clavijo I have developed some concrete strategies for addressing family conflicts and issues with my depression and I can see the improvements. It is sometimes slow going for me but he is a therapist who I know will keep me focused on making progress and not giving up on the possibility to make change for the positive in my life.

Great therapist. This was my first time doing therapy and immediately developed a trusting therapeutic relationship. We went over my goals and he partnered with me to find a way to address the specific issue I came to therapy for. I really appreciated how he asked me about what kind of approach I wanted to try and tailored his approach to that.
More about Fabian
- 9 years' experience

- LMFT
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with seven years experience providing psychotherapy at a community mental health agency. I worked with diverse populations in Orange County and Long Beach, proving individual, group, and family psychotherapy.
As a humanistic therapist, I maintain a positive approach to psychotherapy by focusing on strengths and positive attributes. I assist my clients with developing a stronger, healthier sense of self, and with making rational choices towards achieving their maximum potential.
My hope is to provide a safe and supportive therapeutic environment, which is vital in helping clients overcome mental health issues and various problems in their lives. My foundation is in humanistic therapy; however, I do use interventions and techniques from other therapies (e.g., psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral therapy) when appropriate.
I graduated from the University of California, San Diego with Bachelor's degrees in psychology and political science. I graduated from Azusa Pacific University with a Master's degree in Clinical Psychology with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Fabian Clavijo has been an excellent therapist for me as I have, in the past couple of years, dealt with my issues with depression and anxiety. We've addressed issues such as managing stress, family conflict, difficulty with aging parents, the challenge of finding employment, getting through COVID in isolation, hoarding tendencies. He has worked with me in creating plans for improving in all these areas especially the combination of both mental and physical health as part of my improved wellness.
Fabian is a great counselor. I have been working with him for around 8 months now. He has helped me work through past traumas, listens well and responds with great advice. Thank you for being you Fabian!
