Vitus Onusuru, LMFT

Vitus Onusuru is a California LMFT (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist) with seven years of clinical work. He helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and issues linked to trauma and abuse. He also supports those facing life changes, relationship and intimacy concerns, and challenges around addiction and ADHD.

Vitus focuses on how patterns from the family people grew up in continue to affect current relationships and choices. He talks through the roles, expectations, and communication styles that come from family of origin dynamics. Sessions are straightforward and conversational, aimed at identifying patterns and testing small changes that feel possible.

In the room he uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address thinking and behavior that get in the way of daily life. He works with practical coping skills for anxiety and depression, and with strategies to rebuild confidence and motivation. He also addresses specific concerns such as sleep problems, career stress, and intimacy-related issues.

Vitus has experience supporting people dealing with abandonment, adoption and foster care histories, attachment concerns, blended family stress, caregiving burdens, and chronic illness. He also works with LGBT clients and people navigating commitment or codependency struggles. Language of sessions is English and he accepts international clients.

People who choose him typically start by clarifying a few clear goals. He uses a step-by-step approach that balances talking, skill practice, and real-life experiments. To begin he asks for a short intake so sessions can focus on the changes the client wants to make.
