About Marc

Marc Galati is a California licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 14 years of professional experience. He works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, low self-esteem, and depression. He also supports people facing attachment issues, codependency, communication problems, and family of origin issues.

Marc focuses on practical conversation and clear steps rather than jargon. Sessions tend to involve straightforward talk about patterns that keep repeating from childhood into adult life. He helps clients name those patterns and try new ways of relating and communicating.

In the room he listens for connection patterns and expectations learned in families. He will discuss how those early roles show up now - for example in relationships, work, or parenting - and suggest small, testable changes to try between sessions. He uses direct questions, reflective feedback, and goal-focused check-ins.

Marc combines a respectful, attentive manner with techniques drawn from evidence-based therapeutic approaches. He tailors discussions and goals to what each person says matters most. He also works with multicultural concerns and issues specific to men, including feelings of isolation or shame.

Clients with hearing impairments are noted among his focus areas. His practice recognises practical barriers and works on communication strategies and problem solving. To begin, the recommended first step is to complete the brief matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.

How evidence-based approaches guide online sessions

Many of Marc's methods draw on common evidence-based techniques that help with relationship patterns and mood problems. One approach focuses on identifying family interaction patterns learned in childhood and noticing how they repeat now; this helps people name expectations and try alternative responses. Another approach uses structured communication work to improve how people express needs and set boundaries, which can reduce conflict and build clearer interactions.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and suggest techniques to try. If something doesn't fit, he will adjust the plan together with the client so the work stays relevant and practical.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make sessions easier to fit into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. For people who need visual cues, video can be helpful; for those who prefer less bandwidth or a brief check-in, phone sessions may be an alternative. Licensed professionals aim to match methods and timing to each client's life while focusing on clear goals and measurable steps.
