About Marc
Marc Galati is a California-licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 14 years of professional experience. He works with adults who are struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship tensions, family problems, self-esteem concerns, and depression. He also addresses issues such as attachment, codependency, communication difficulties, and guilt and shame.
Marc approaches sessions with direct conversation and clear priorities. He explains options, listens for what matters most, and helps people name the patterns that keep them stuck. Sessions focus on practical steps and decisions you can try between meetings. He adjusts the pace and topics to match what feels most useful in the room.
He pays attention to how family history and cultural background shape thoughts and behavior. That can help when guilt, shame, or problems from a family of origin keep resurfacing. He also has experience supporting people who are coping with infidelity, isolation, seasonal mood shifts, and issues that can affect men specifically.
Marc uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques chosen for each person's situation. He outlines clear goals and reviews progress along the way. His work aims to clarify what a client wants to change and to set manageable steps toward those goals.
Sessions are conducted in English and follow the practical needs of the client. If you want to explore working together, follow the site prompts to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
Evidence-based approaches and how online sessions work
Marc uses a couple of evidence-based techniques to address mood and relationship concerns. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and then testing small, doable changes to see what helps. This method is helpful for anxiety, low mood, and patterns that fuel guilt or shame.Another approach looks at relationship and attachment patterns by tracing how family history and early relationships shape current reactions. That work can make it easier to understand why guilt, codependency, or communication problems keep repeating and what might shift them.
Finding the right way of working is part of the process. Marc treats approach selection as a collaboration. He will review options with you, set clear goals, and adjust methods based on your needs, preferences, and progress.
Confirm the specific session formats available before booking, since the biography does not list formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Therapists can also choose simpler audio-only meetings to use less bandwidth or brief video check-ins when a faster conversation is needed. Ask about the current options when you schedule so you know what to expect.
