About Xenia
Xenia Blanco is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 19 years of clinical experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, and depression.
Background and approach
She approaches therapy with a focus on practical skills and emotional understanding, guiding clients through communication challenges, caregiver stress, grief from separation or divorce, and struggles with guilt, shame, or isolation. Her bilingual ability in English and Spanish helps bridge cultural and language gaps for many clients in California.
Blanco emphasizes creating an open, nonjudgmental atmosphere where feelings and thoughts can be explored and understood. Using structured methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and relationship-focused tools like the Gottman Method, she supports clients in identifying unhelpful patterns, building healthier interactions, and developing coping strategies.
She encourages collaboration and empowerment, meeting people where they are and helping them move toward clearer purpose and improved daily functioning.
Practical Approaches for Online Relationship and Stress Work
Blanco uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; this approach is often applied to anxiety, depression, and stress-related difficulties by teaching concrete coping skills and problem-solving strategies. She also incorporates elements of the Gottman Method, which focuses on improving communication, reducing conflict patterns, and strengthening relationship interactions through observable exercises and dialog techniques.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to explore goals, preferences, and needs before selecting or combining methods, and adjustments are made as progress and priorities evolve. This collaborative stance helps clients feel engaged in planning their care and confident that methods will be tailored to their situation.
Online therapy with Blanco is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to accommodate varied schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity during life transitions, balance caregiving or work demands, and access bilingual support in English or Spanish from within California. Licensed professionals aim to make therapeutic tools and relationship work more accessible through flexible online options.
