Online Therapy for Adults in California
Build a stronger relationship with yourself and the people who matter to you.
You may be doing well on the outside while struggling with overthinking, self-doubt, people-pleasing, boundaries, or relationship patterns that keep leaving you feeling frustrated or disconnected.
Therapy can help you understand these patterns, build greater trust in yourself, and create healthier, more meaningful relationships.
You’ve gotten good at getting through things.
But some patterns are harder to leave behind.
Maybe you’re the person others can depend on, but you have a harder time depending on others. You may spend a lot of time overthinking what you should have said, wondering whether you did something wrong, or worrying about how someone else might be feeling.
You may find yourself:
Overthinking conversations, decisions, or relationships
Doubting yourself and looking to others for reassurance
Saying yes when you really want to say no
Feeling guilty when you set boundaries or prioritize yourself
Avoiding difficult conversations because you don’t want to disappoint someone
Taking responsibility for other people’s feelings
Repeating relationship patterns you know aren’t working
You might understand some of these patterns already. You may even know where they come from.
But understanding why you do something and knowing how to change it are two different things.

These patterns didn’t come from nowhere.
The ways you learned to cope, protect yourself, and connect with others often developed for a reason. Difficult relationships, trauma, abandonment, neglect, instability, or other painful experiences can shape how you see yourself and what you expect from other people.
Patterns like overthinking, people-pleasing, emotional withdrawal, difficulty trusting, or needing reassurance may have helped you feel safer at one point in your life. But what once protected you can eventually leave you feeling stuck.
Therapy isn't about blaming your past for everything happening today. It's about understanding how your experiences shaped you, recognizing the patterns that are no longer serving you, and learning new ways of relating to yourself and others.
What would life look like if you trusted yourself more?
Therapy isn’t just about understanding your past. It’s about helping you make meaningful changes in how you see yourself, respond to difficult emotions, and connect with the people in your life.
Together, we can work toward helping you:
Trust yourself without constantly second-guessing your decisions
Set healthier boundaries without being overwhelmed by guilt
Communicate your needs instead of expecting others to figure them out
Navigate conflict without shutting down, avoiding, or becoming overwhelmed
Understand and regulate your emotions rather than feeling controlled by them
Recognize unhealthy relationship patterns and respond differently
Build healthier relationships while staying connected to who you are
The goal isn’t to become a completely different person. It’s to feel more secure in who you are and more intentional about how you show up in your relationships.
Therapy that feels like a conversation, not a clinical appointment.
I’m Jason Astorga, a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor providing online therapy for adults in California.
My approach is collaborative, genuine, and practical. I want therapy to be a space where you can be honest about what you’re experiencing without feeling judged or like you have to say the “right” thing.
We’ll take time to understand the experiences and patterns that shaped you, while also focusing on what you can do differently today. I’ll help you challenge patterns that may be keeping you stuck, better understand yourself, and practice new ways of responding to difficult emotions and relationships.
You don’t have to have everything figured out before starting therapy. We can figure it out together.
