Julieta Serrato, LMFT - Therapist in California

About Julieta

Julieta Serrato is a licensed marriage and family therapist who practices in California. She brings six years of clinical experience to sessions and focuses on stress, anxiety, parenting, self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. Julieta speaks English and Spanish and offers a calm, attentive presence to people seeking clearer ways to manage hard emotions.

She prefers a culturally aware approach that honors each person’s background and current situation. In the room she listens for patterns in relationships and daily routines, then helps clients identify small, practical steps they can try between sessions.

Background and approach

Conversations often address communication habits, attachment concerns, and family dynamics. Julieta also supports people dealing with specific struggles such as blended family issues, fatherhood questions, immigration-related stress, and the emotional impact of disasters. She works through topics like guilt, shame, forgiveness, and a search for purpose in life.

The work can include exploring family of origin patterns and repairing strained connections. Sessions are offered through a mix of video calls, phone, live chat, and text messaging to fit different needs. Julieta describes therapy as collaborative - she helps clients set goals and track progress over time.

Practical coping skills and clearer communication strategies are common outcomes of her work. For those ready to begin, she asks people to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on availability. She uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Approaches that fit online therapy

Julieta uses well-established, evidence-based techniques that translate well to online work. One common approach focuses on improving communication and relationship patterns by identifying interaction habits and practicing new responses; this helps with parenting challenges, blended family stress, and chronic conflict. Another approach centers on building coping skills for anxiety and depression through practical exercises and step-by-step behavior changes that reduce overwhelm and increase daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Julieta will discuss options with each person and tailor methods to their needs, goals, and preferences rather than imposing a single style. Together they track progress and adjust strategies as needed to find what feels most helpful.

Online therapy offers flexibility that many people need. Sessions can happen by video call for face-to-face conversation, by phone for convenience, or through live chat and text messaging for brief check-ins and ongoing support. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep continuity when life is unpredictable, while still working on communication, coping, and family-related concerns.
