California Online Therapy and Counseling 

My California Online Therapy and Counseling practice allows me to support not only those in Marin County and the San Francisco Bay Area but in the entire state of California, whether you are in San Diego,  Santa Clara, Los Angeles, Sacramento, San Mateo or in anywhere between.

I work with individuals  and couples via   video  (or phone if appropriate).  The pandemic ushered in a new era  for the therapy profession in the normalizing of online therapy and other creative ways to receive support.    They are not only proven to be effective but give people more options.  Many appreciate the convenience and time saving aspects of these types of remote sessions and I remain in high demand for them.

I help  individuals in California via online therapy (or phone counseling) in the following areas:

  • Family of Origin Work
  • Stress / Anxiety 
  • Self-Esteem
  • Sadness / Depression
  • Codependence
  • Excessive Anger
  • Perfectionism / Type A
  •  Relationships
  • Life Transitions

A lot of my work is wrapped around the framework of the family of origin as I want to understand if there are connections to the past as it relates in how you function today.  I find this to be the road to deepest level change, not just a bandaid approach.   See my article,  What is Family of Origin Work? on my other site, LoveAndLifeToolbox.com.

I help couples in California via online therapy in the following areas:

  • Couples Communication
  • Infidelity
  • Emotional Safety
  • Resentment
  • Relationship Repair
  • Relationship Tune-Up
  • Premarital Education

Emotional safety is probably the most important aspect of the above.  It is at the heart of a lot of my work in that I want understand the deeper level issues of what is holding the couple back.  A lot of the other things can be a symptom of a lack of emotional safety.  Check out my article, Two Ways to Boost the Emotional Safety in Your Relationship on my other website.

My clients are men and women of all ages. People have said they find me down-to-earth, direct, interactive and relatable.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Lisa Kift for many years, both in previous clinics and with mutual clients. Lisa is a deeply knowledgeable and skilled therapist who brings insight, empathy, and clarity to her work. She has a strong focus on family-of-origin dynamics and how early experiences shape current relational and emotional patterns. Lisa is an active and engaged clinician—she doesn’t just sit back, but thoughtfully guides her clients through the healing process. I highly recommend working with Lisa at Marin Therapy and Counseling. She is a trusted colleague and a true asset to the field.

I am a strong believer in therapy and have worked with many therapists for over 20 years but Lisa is by far the best. After working with Lisa for the past 5 years, she has been there for me through some of my highest highs and lowest lows. She helps me take a step back and think about situations or problems with a different lens. She has always supported a cadence that worked best for me, starting with once a week and winding down to once a month. I am so thankful to have found Lisa and would recommend her to anyone!
