Federico Rolandi , LMFT

Federico Rolandi is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California. He brings six years of clinical experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and attention difficulties. Federico aims to make the first steps toward change feel manageable and supported.

He focuses on practical conversations in session. He listens for patterns that cause pain, like attachment wounds, codependency, or problems coming from family of origin. Then he works with clients to try new ways of responding to those patterns. Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person's needs.

Federico also addresses issues around body image, chronic illness or pain, caregiver stress, and feelings of emptiness. He supports clients navigating LGBT-related concerns and fatherhood-related questions. His approach includes attention to how control issues, dependent or avoidant personality patterns, and abandonment concerns affect daily life.

In meetings he encourages clear, direct talk about goals and small steps to test new behaviors. That can mean short experiments between sessions, practical coping skills for anxiety, or strategies to manage addictive urges. He helps people notice what works and what needs adjusting.

People who come to him often want a straightforward, down-to-earth partner in their change process. Federico emphasizes steady progress, not quick fixes, and helps clients track changes over time.

Evidence-based approaches and convenient online care

Federico uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical work. One common approach he uses is skills-based work for anxiety and stress management, which teaches breathing, grounding, and activity planning to reduce overwhelm and improve daily functioning. Another approach emphasizes attachment-focused interventions that look at how early relationships shape current patterns, helping people understand and change behaviors tied to abandonment or codependency.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. Federico will talk with each person about their goals, past experiences, and preferences, and then try methods that match those needs. He encourages regular check-ins to see what is helping and will adjust the plan as progress and feedback indicate.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and guided exercises. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow more frequent, brief check-ins or ongoing reflection between longer sessions. These options make it easier to attend sessions around work, caregiving, or medical needs while maintaining a consistent therapeutic process.
