More about Octavia
- 3 years' experience
- Female
- LMFT
I am a licensed therapist in California with three years of clinical experience and over a decade of prior work in addiction recovery. I specialize in supporting individuals facing challenges related to relationships, motivation, self-esteem, confidence, depression, and life transitions.
My therapeutic approach is direct, experiential, humanistic, and grounded in authenticity. I strive to create an open, safe, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered. I take an eclectic approach to therapy, drawing from various modalities based on each person’s unique needs—because I believe there is no one-size-fits-all path to healing.
In addition to my general practice, I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), which can be especially helpful for those working through trauma or deeply rooted emotional patterns.
At the core of my work is the belief that you are the expert on your life. My role is to walk beside you as a guide, helping you discover clarity, resilience, and meaningful change. Seeking support takes courage, and I’m here to honor that by supporting and empowering you on your journey toward a more fulfilling life.

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.
