About Octavia
Octavia Fukino is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) practicing in California. She brings seven years of counseling experience and a calm, direct style that helps people manage stress, grief, anxiety, and relationship struggles. Octavia aims to make therapy feel straightforward and practical for people who are worried about next steps.
She focuses on trauma, attachment challenges, and issues tied to codependency. Octavia also supports people facing addiction, depression, bipolar concerns, and problems with intimacy or parenting. Sessions emphasize building trust, understanding patterns, and developing small, doable changes that fit day-to-day life.
Octavia draws on approaches like attachment-based work, client-centered therapy, and trauma-focused methods to shape sessions around each person’s needs. She explains tools plainly and helps people try them between meetings. Her experience includes work in private practice and adapting to telehealth when circumstances required it.
Her personal history includes parenting adopted children and processing a long-term relationship breakup, experiences that inform her perspective on loss, betrayal, and rebuilding trust. Octavia values a warm, grounded connection and encourages honest conversation about hard topics.
If someone wants help with abandonment, attachment, or navigating life changes, Octavia tends to use collaborative, practical steps and reflective conversation. She asks questions, listens, and helps people map changes they can try right away.
How her approaches adapt to online care
Octavia uses attachment-based work and trauma-focused therapy to help people process difficult events and rebuild trusting connections. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people notice and change those patterns. Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on processing past hurts and reducing their daily impact so people can move forward.She pairs those with client-centered listening, which keeps the work collaborative and paced to the person. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of therapy. Octavia will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and they will choose techniques together as treatment progresses.
If you are considering online therapy, check the session formats before booking to confirm what she currently offers. Online care can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also help people stay consistent during life transitions while still focusing on attachment, trauma processing, and practical skills to manage anxiety or cravings.
