About Octavia

Octavia Fukino is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) practicing in California. She has seven years of counseling experience and focuses on helping people who are coping with trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. Octavia uses a warm, direct style to help people feel heard and understood in sessions.

She draws on attachment-based and client-centered approaches to build trust and safety.

Background and approach

That foundation helps when addressing complex responses to loss, abandonment, or relational betrayal. Octavia also uses trauma-focused work and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) as part of her approach for processing painful memories. Octavia blends cognitive behavioral strategies when helping people manage anxiety, mood shifts, and patterns that keep them stuck.

She aims for practical steps clients can use between sessions, such as coping routines and communication skills. Her experience includes work with substance use and intimacy-related concerns as well as parenting and family stressors. Her personal background - including adoption and later life changes - informs a compassionate, down-to-earth style.

Octavia speaks English and Romanian and offers sessions by video, phone, chat, or text messaging. She frames therapy as a collaborative process and helps people set realistic goals for change. People who choose her often want a therapist who combines empathy with concrete tools.

Octavia emphasizes paced work, respect for each person’s history, and steady steps toward healing and clearer relationships.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Octavia commonly uses attachment-based work and trauma-focused methods in her online practice. Attachment-based therapy looks at how early relationships shape current trust and closeness, and it helps people change patterns that make relationships painful. Trauma-focused work targets distressing memories and the reactions that follow, helping to reduce their hold on daily life.

She also integrates Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for processing traumatic memories when appropriate. EMDR involves structured processing of specific memories and sensations to help reduce their intensity and the emotional responses they trigger. The therapist and client decide together whether this approach fits the client’s needs and readiness.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Octavia collaborates with clients to identify goals and match techniques to those goals. She adapts methods over time to reflect progress, tolerance for emotional material, and practical preferences for how sessions are run.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video helps preserve visual cues and a closer sense of connection. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Chat and messaging allow for brief updates, written reflection, and more flexible scheduling. These options make therapy more accessible and easier to fit into daily life while keeping treatment focused on healing and skill building.
