About Xenia

LMFT (California) with 19 years of experience. Xenia Blanco helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, and depression. She offers services in English and Spanish and works with adults on a range of life and emotional challenges.

Xenia focuses on practical conversation and problem solving. Sessions are straightforward and aim to make difficult topics easier to talk about. She listens for patterns in thoughts and behaviors, and then works with each person to try out different ways of coping.

In sessions she uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and to build skills for managing symptoms. She also draws on the Gottman Method for people looking to address relationship patterns and improve communication. The approach is collaborative and aims for practical changes in day-to-day life.

Xenia invites people to speak honestly about what isn’t working and to try small, manageable steps between sessions. She offers a mix of direct feedback, skill teaching, and reflective conversation. To start, prospective clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How CBT and the Gottman Method are used in online work

Online sessions with this therapist draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and practice different responses. CBT focuses on changing patterns of thinking and behavior that keep stress and anxiety going, and it often includes concrete tools and short exercises to try between sessions.

The Gottman Method is used when relationship patterns are a focus. It looks at communication habits, conflict cycles, and ways to rebuild connection. Exercises may include structured conversation practice and skill-building around listening and feedback.

Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide whether CBT, Gottman work, or a mix makes the most sense and adjust as needed over time.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people practice skills in their everyday environments while still getting guidance from a licensed professional.
