Xenia Blanco, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Xenia!

I support children, adolescents, adults, families, and couples. I specialize in anxiety, depression, relationship issues, behavior issues, anger management, and ADHD. My approach to therapy is determined by the needs of the client.

My focus

I work with young children, teens, families, and adults. I help them find the underlying causes of their worries and fears, see problems and situations in a new way, and develop coping and problem-solving skills to overcome depression and anxiety.

My approach

Most often, I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Family Systems, and Mindfulness to help clients achieve their goals. I give clients the tools to overcome their symptoms, and I teach them how to use them.

My communication style

I consider my tone of voice to be the biggest determinant of a good atmosphere in sessions and, therefore, an important tool in therapy. I like to keep a soft and controlled voice that provides calm and security to clients since my priority is to provide support and guidance.

My journey to mental healthcare

Becoming a therapist was an almost natural thing that happened to me. From a very young age, I liked to listen and help others, and I realized that I wanted to work in the social field. I wanted to receive extensive training and a variety of treatments to help people.

My goals for you

Collaborative goal setting has always been my practice. I believe planning therapy goals with clients helps them focus on the problem behaviors and issues they want to work on in sessions and to develop realistic solutions and coping skills for their unique circumstances.

Our first session

The first session with my clients is important to both my clients and me. During the first session, I will ask clients questions to learn about them and their problems, discuss my initial thoughts and observations about what they shared with me, and provide an overview of our sessions. I will answer any questions you have.
