About Xenia

Xenia Blanco is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with 19 years of clinical experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family conflicts, trauma and abuse, and depression. Xenia speaks both English and Spanish and aims to make the first step toward support feel manageable and direct.

Her approach focuses on building a straightforward, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk about thoughts and feelings. Sessions center on practical conversation and collaboration rather than long lectures. Xenia helps people identify patterns that cause pain and then tries out small changes that can make daily life easier.

She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and behaving. For those navigating relationship strain, she integrates Gottman Method ideas to improve communication and rebuild connection. These approaches are used together to fit each person’s needs.

Xenia often supports people dealing with caregiver stress, communication problems, divorce and separation, family of origin issues, and struggles with guilt or shame. She also works with isolation, life purpose questions, post-traumatic stress, social anxiety, women’s issues, and concerns common to young adults.

If someone is ready to begin, Xenia asks them to choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule sessions according to availability. The subscription for sessions can be canceled at any time.

How CBT and Gottman Ideas Guide Online Work

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try small behavioral experiments to reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms. The Gottman Method focuses on improving communication and repairing emotional connection, using clear skills for listening, expressing needs, and managing conflict.

Choosing the best approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which methods match their goals and preferences. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan over time so it fits the client’s needs.

Confirm the available session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow a quicker check-in when life is hectic. Some people find virtual sessions let them practice communication skills right where problems happen, while others use brief audio check-ins when a shorter touchpoint is helpful. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT exercises and Gottman-based communication work to an online setting to support progress without promising a specific outcome.
