Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
Hello. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and I’m happy to say I have been in this profession for over 13 years. I find this work very rewarding and interesting. I enjoy hearing my client’s unique stories and collaborating with them to discover ways to support therapeutic, emotional and personal goals. My therapeutic approach is strength based with eclectic therapeutic techniques that adapt to the individualized needs of my clients.
I’ve worked in private practice, community-based organizations, and in public schools with different grade levels. This variety of counseling settings has provided me with the opportunity and privilege to work with adults, children, adolescents and couples. Prior to becoming a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I worked in the non-profit sector, providing counseling services, supporting individuals in foster care, and providing in- home behavioral support for children and families.
Therapy is a process…some individuals prefer their journey be shorter than others. Some individuals may feel they need more time for self- discovery, personal growth and/or to work through specific problematic life situations. Regardless of your preference, there is no right or wrong way to approach your therapeutic experience. What is important, is that you connect with your therapist, feel comfortable, and that the Therapist is willing to meet you where you are now.
Life change requires the courage to take the first step, and I would like to help by providing support, understanding and a trusting therapeutic relationship. I look forward to meeting with you.

Mary Franco is a California-based Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (CA LMFT 86963) with 14 years of clinical experience. She approaches therapy as a collaborative process, listening to each person’s unique story and working alongside them to identify therapeutic, emotional, and personal goals.
Her approach is strength-based and draws from a range of therapeutic techniques that are adapted to meet the individual needs of each client. Over the course of her career she has practiced in private practice, community-based organizations, and public schools across multiple grade levels, which has allowed her to work with adults, children, adolescents, and couples.
Before obtaining licensure as a marriage and family therapist, Mary provided counseling services in the non-profit sector, supported individuals in foster care, and delivered in-home behavioral support for children and families. She acknowledges that therapy timelines vary – some people pursue short-term work while others need longer-term support for self-discovery, growth, or specific life challenges – and emphasizes meeting clients where they are now.
Mary values providing understanding, steadiness, and a trusting therapeutic relationship to support clients through life changes, and she looks forward to meeting those who choose to begin that first step.
For many common concerns – including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and navigating life changes – online therapy can be as effective as traditional in-person sessions. Evidence supports its use for these types of issues, making virtual care a viable option for many people.
One major benefit is flexibility. Clients can connect in the format that fits their schedule and comfort level, choosing video sessions, phone appointments, live chat, or in-app messaging. This adaptability makes it easier to integrate therapy into a busy life.
All sessions are conducted by licensed professionals, and if someone decides they would prefer a different therapist, they can switch at any time. Online therapy offers a range of practical options for accessing professional support without changing the core goals or quality of therapeutic work.
