About Rami
Rami Anabtawi is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with three years of clinical experience. He helps people who are facing relationship strain, family conflict, parenting stress, anger, and depression. Rami also focuses on codependency and communication problems when those patterns are part of what brings someone to therapy.
Rami keeps conversations direct and practical. Sessions tend to look like clear problem-focused talk. He works with clients to identify patterns that keep them stuck, such as people-pleasing or avoiding hard conversations, and then practices alternatives together. Expect straightforward feedback and concrete next steps you can try between sessions.
Rami adapts the pace to the person in the room. He listens for how daily routines, parenting demands, or recurring arguments affect wellbeing. Then he and the client set small goals - for example, clearer requests, short boundary experiments, or new ways to handle anger in the moment. Progress is measured by what changes feel doable week to week.
He is used to helping people sort out feelings around forgiveness, life purpose, and obsessive thoughts or behaviors. That work often combines talking through immediate problems with simple behavioral steps to reduce distress. Rami encourages clients to notice small wins and to adjust plans when something does not work.
Beginning therapy with him involves an initial matching step and a first session where practical goals are set. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
Rami draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on behavior change and clearer communication. One common approach reduces unhelpful behavior patterns by breaking them into small, testable steps; this helps with anger management, repetitive worry, and compulsive actions. Another approach focuses on improving communication - practicing direct requests, setting short boundaries, and rehearsing new responses to criticism or demands.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Rami will help identify which method fits a person's current goals and daily life. Together they set practical, observable goals and adjust methods if something does not work as expected.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins on a workday, and let people try skills in real-time between sessions. Licensed professionals can help adapt exercises so they are useful in ordinary settings rather than only during meetings.
