About Federico

Federico Rolandi is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with six years of professional experience. He works with adults experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, attention and focus difficulties, and concerns related to LGBT identity. He also addresses problems linked to family of origin, attachment and abandonment, and issues like codependency and body image.

Federico uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people talk through patterns that started in childhood and keep showing up now. Sessions focus on understanding how early family roles and expectations affect current relationships and behavior. He helps clients notice repeating dynamics and try different ways of responding.

In practice he emphasizes clear, direct conversation and practical strategies. Clients can expect to discuss specific moments that trigger stress or anxiety and to practice new responses between sessions. He also addresses practical challenges such as concentration, memory, and managing cravings related to addiction.

Federico supports parents dealing with fatherhood concerns and people coping with chronic illness or caregiving stress. He will work on setting boundaries, reducing cycle-based behaviors, and improving daily routines that affect mood and focus.

Sessions are conducted in English and follow the therapist’s scope as an LMFT in California. The typical path begins with a short intake to identify goals, then ongoing sessions that balance discussion with exercises to use in everyday life.

Approaches that target old patterns in an online setting

Federico bases his work on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on present problems rooted in early relationships. One common approach looks at attachment and family of origin patterns to identify repeating roles, expectations, and defenses; it helps clients see how childhood dynamics influence today's behavior and relationships. Another approach emphasizes behavioral strategies and practical exercises to improve focus, reduce anxiety, and manage cravings related to addictions; these interventions teach concrete skills to use between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will review a client’s goals, current struggles, and preferences, then suggest methods to try. Over the first few sessions they check what helps and adjust methods based on what the client notices and reports.

Session format details are not specified here, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. They also let clients continue work on family-origin patterns while practicing changes in everyday routines and relationships.
