Octavia Macklin

Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

I am a licensed therapist in California with three years of clinical experience and over a decade of prior work in addiction recovery. I specialize in supporting individuals facing challenges related to relationships, motivation, self-esteem, confidence, depression, and life transitions.

My therapeutic approach is direct, experiential, humanistic, and grounded in authenticity. I strive to create an open, safe, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered. I take an eclectic approach to therapy, drawing from various modalities based on each person’s unique needs—because I believe there is no one-size-fits-all path to healing.

At the core of my work is the belief that you are the expert on your life. My role is to walk beside you as a guide, helping you discover clarity, resilience, and meaningful change. Seeking support takes courage, and I’m here to honor that by supporting and empowering you on your journey toward a more fulfilling life.

Is Online Therapy the Right Fit for Your Needs?

Many people wonder whether remote therapy can make a real difference. For a range of common concerns – including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and navigating life changes – online therapy can be as effective as traditional in-person sessions. One major benefit is the flexibility it provides. People can connect in the format that works best for them – video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging – which makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Each therapist offering online care is a licensed professional, and clients have the option to change therapists if they want a different fit. This combination of accessibility and professional support makes online therapy a practical option for many seeking help with everyday mental health challenges.
