Thia Haselton

Thia Haselton is a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people feeling alone, overwhelmed, or out of balance. She listens without rushing and focuses on practical steps you can try between sessions. Her approach aims to reduce isolation and to restore more connection and ease in day-to-day life.

Thia brings 25 years of clinical experience in California to each conversation. She has worked with people facing anxiety, stress, eating and body-image concerns, and the aftermath of trauma or emotional abuse. She also supports people dealing with caregiver strain, workplace pressures, and compassion fatigue.

In sessions she uses proven therapeutic techniques to identify patterns that keep you stuck. Conversations often include looking at how attachment and communication shape relationships and how control or perfectionism get in the way. Thia helps clients notice small changes that can make a big difference over time.

She pays attention to emotions like guilt, shame, grief, and self-doubt. Thia also addresses practical problems such as scheduling self-care, setting boundaries, and managing anxiety in daily life. Her work includes support for people wrestling with life changes and searching for clearer purpose.

Breathe in peace, breathe out stress is a simple reminder she offers clients. To begin, she asks people to share what matters most to them and what they hope to change. From there she and the client shape a plan that fits real life.

Evidence-based approaches and how they work online

Thia uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people reduce isolation and manage anxiety. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and then testing small changes in real life to see what helps. This kind of work is useful for worry, social anxiety, and self-critical thoughts.

Another approach looks at attachment and relational patterns to understand how connections form and fade. Sessions explore how past relationships affect current trust, communication, and feelings of loneliness, and then try new ways of relating that can feel safer over time.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Thia works together with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and daily routine. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan based on what is actually helping.

Confirm available session options before booking since specific formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins, and letting people meet from their own usual environment. It can also make attendance simpler on workdays or caregiving schedules while still providing sustained support from a licensed professional.
