What is Hybrid Remote Therapy in San Francisco California?
Before the pandemic, psychotherapy in San Francisco and in many places mainly happened in person. As things progressed with remote work, remote therapy in the bay area and remote therapy in California became a convenient and functional way to do therapy. Meeting in person is wonderful as well, although getting to a therapy office every week can be taxing. Many people find that they can save time by scheduling therapy between their meetings instead of coming to an office before or after work. Bianca offers a remote model of therapy in San Francisco, the Bay Area, and California.
How long does Individual Counseling last?
Each person has a different unique set of needs around individual psychotherapy, as each person is working through something different in their life. Some people are seeking personal counseling services to work through a recent breakup or trauma, while other people are looking to have a long term relationship with a therapist to repair attachment issues in relationships that may have formed at a young age. Generally speaking, shorter term therapy is around six months to a year, where longer term therapy can last for multiple years, sometimes at a cadence greater than once a week. Everyone is different; the length of your therapy is your choice.

How do you find a couples Counseling Therapist in the Bay Area?
Finding a couples counselling therapist in San Francisco or the greater bay area can feel tricky at times because it often requires a lot of research, and many times, people don’t know exactly what they are looking for. It is important to find the right relationship therapist or marriage therapist for you and your partner. I am a couples counselor and a licensed marriage and family therapist in the state of California. I specialize in attachment styles and how they interact within relationships. As a pact level one couples therapist, I have been trained to help couples read each other’s psychobiological cues using awareness of the nervous system and of body language. As a couples psychotherapist, it has been important that I have experience with sexuality, intimacy, sexual abuse, attachment problems, and much more.
How is Marriage Counseling different from Couples Psychotherapy?
The simple answer to this question is, it’s not that different. The main difference is that marriage counseling may have a specific set of life circumstances that are different than in relationships outside of marriage. For example, many married people often also have children and are co-navigating parenting, finances, and extreme tension in their marriage that they never felt before their life became a partnership. Once in a committed relationship that only becomes more committed, people may question their commitment and sometimes think about breaking it, which is much more painful step once married.
Do you provide in-Person Couples Therapy or Virtual Couples Counseling?
Before the pandemic most therapy was in person. During the pandemic, people realized that it was in many cases easier and more convenient to meet remotely in between meetings during the day. Because my work hours are from 8:30 to 4 pm, I am mainly remote as a therapist. I offer quarterly in person sessions in an office in San Francisco to give us the opportunity to meet in person on special occasions so that weekly therapy can still be convenient through remote therapy.
