About Marc
Marc Galati is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with 14 years of professional experience. He works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family conflict, low self-esteem, and depression. He also focuses on attachment issues, codependency, communication problems, and related concerns.
Marc aims for clear, direct conversations about what is causing distress and what might help. Sessions tend to focus on patterns in relationships, recurring reactions to stress, and practical steps to change daily habits. He listens for how family of origin and cultural background shape current behavior and priorities.
When worries are tied to shame, guilt, or isolation he helps people name those feelings and see how they affect choices. He also supports men who are questioning roles or purpose and people facing infidelity or seasonal mood shifts. Hearing-impaired clients are listed among his focus areas, and language of work is English.
Marc adapts the way he talks and plans work to fit each person’s situation. He uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions and to track progress. He asks straightforward questions, suggests small experiments between meetings, and reviews what changes and what doesn’t.
To begin, Marc recommends using the site’s matching steps to schedule an initial meeting and decide next steps based on practical goals and availability.
How sessions work
How therapeutic methods translate to online work
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques often used with relationship and mood concerns include approaches that focus on understanding attachment and on changing interaction patterns. Attachment-focused work looks at how early relationship experiences influence current behavior and helps people notice and shift repeated responses in close relationships. Pattern-focused techniques target the ways people react under stress, teaching specific skills for communication, boundary setting, and reducing reactivity.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress or obstacles appear, keeping the process collaborative and practical.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments around work, reduce time spent traveling, and allow shorter check-ins when a full session isn't needed. They also let people try different styles of meeting without changing therapists, which can help match a method to a person's life and schedule.
