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, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

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!
