About Octavia
Octavia Fukino is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) practicing in California. She has seven years of counseling experience and speaks English and Romanian. She focuses on helping people who are coping with depression, trauma, grief, relationship strain, and substance use concerns.
Octavia aims to build a warm, trusting connection in sessions. She uses straightforward conversation to help people name their struggles and figure out next steps. She draws on skills from attachment work and client-centered approaches to make space for difficult feelings and life stories.
Her work includes practical tools from cognitive behavioral methods to change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. For people processing traumatic events, she also uses EMDR and trauma-focused techniques when appropriate to address painful memories and reactions. Sessions look at how early relationships shape current patterns and what can shift in day-to-day life.
Octavia describes therapy as a collaborative process. She helps people identify goals, try small changes, and track what helps. Her experience includes many people managing grief, abandonment issues, codependency, and intimacy or communication problems.
Outside of therapy she has personal experience raising two adopted children and navigating loss in long-term relationships. That background informs her empathy for parents and for people who have survived betrayal and major life changes.
