About Marc

Marc Galati is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with 14 years of professional experience. He works with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, family problems, low self-esteem, and depression. Sessions are conducted in English.

Marc focuses on practical conversations that aim to clarify what is causing strain and what might change. He listens for patterns that keep problems repeating, such as communication breakdowns, attachment issues, or codependent behaviors. He then helps clients try different ways of relating and responding.

Clients often talk about family of origin issues, infidelity, isolation or loneliness, and struggles with guilt or shame. Marc also works with men’s issues, multicultural concerns, seasonal affective disorder, and people who are hearing impaired. He addresses mood disorders and self-harm concerns as part of his overall work with depression and anxiety.

His practice emphasizes clear, direct dialogue and collaborative planning. That means setting goals together and checking what is or isn’t helping as therapy progresses. He uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions rather than relying on general talk alone.

Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the See online therapy options button. Marc does not accept international clients.

How Marc uses evidence-based methods in remote care

Marc employs evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing unhelpful patterns and improving communication. One approach concentrates on identifying and shifting interaction patterns that fuel conflict and distress, which can help with relationship and family problems. Another approach targets mood and anxiety by teaching skills for managing stress, regulating emotion, and reducing avoidance behaviors.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each client to decide which methods best match their goals, needs, and preferences. Sessions begin with an assessment of what is most pressing and then test methods that may help, adjusting the plan as progress is reviewed.

The practical benefits of remote sessions include fitting appointments into a busy schedule and reducing travel time. It can be easier to keep regular check-ins around work or school commitments. Confirm the specific session options before booking, since formats are not listed here. Online work aims to make therapy easier to attend while focusing on the same problem-solving and skills practice used in face-to-face care.
