Octavia Fukino is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with seven years of counseling experience. She focuses on helping people facing trauma, relationship strain, addiction, and self esteem difficulties. Her approach is warm and direct, aimed at helping people feel safer and more in control of their lives.
Octavia uses straightforward talk therapy and evidence-informed methods to help people process painful events. She draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Her background includes a Bachelor of Arts from UCLA and a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology from Argosy University. She built much of her clinical experience in independent practice before and after licensing and has worked with people dealing with grief, dissociation, sexual assault, and codependency.
Octavia knows firsthand how life changes can reshape identity and relationships. She speaks openly about her own recovery from betrayal and codependency, and she uses that perspective to validate practical steps toward healing. Sessions are intended to be collaborative, with goals set together and progress reviewed along the way.
She offers sessions in English and Romanian and sees clients in California. If you are looking to address trauma, anxiety, parenting strain, or to rebuild self esteem, she aims to create a steady, problem-solving space to work through those concerns.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Octavia uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships influence current feelings and behaviors, which can help people understand patterns in relationships and attachment. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, a practical approach that often includes homework and skill-building between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and history, and then recommend one or a mix of approaches. That decision is collaborative and can be adjusted as progress is made.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins from different locations. Because session formats were not specified in the original biography, confirm current session options before booking so you know how sessions will be conducted. The therapist and client then arrange a schedule and format that suits practical needs like shorter check-ins or longer weekly sessions.
