Francis Jefferson-Glipa, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Francis!

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor. I live in California and provide services to clients statewide via telehealth. I specialize in working with individuals using a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy approach to help manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, and relationship conflict.

My focus

I have extensive experience working with adults who are dealing with life transitions, anxiety, depression, stress, and trauma. I help individuals build the skills they need to navigate their lives and manage the stresses of these transitions.

My approach

My approach is always tailored to the unique needs of my client. I most frequently use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing techniques to increase my clients' skills, help them cope, and see the power they have to change their lives.

My communication style

My communication style is patient, calm, direct, and personable. I work on developing a trusting relationship that encourages clients to share without fear of judgment. I often ask questions to help clients become aware of their thoughts, feelings, and desires.

My goals for you

I work collaboratively with clients to determine what the goals of therapy will be. You are the expert in your life and what you want to accomplish. My job is to walk alongside and help guide you in the ways you can achieve this.

Our first session

What you can expect from our first session is for me to ask questions to get to know you. Mostly, they will be about how you have been feeling recently and what made you decide to come to therapy. Everyone is different, so I want to get to know you so we can decide together how best to proceed.
