About Thia
Thia Haselton is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with 25 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure what comes next after changes in work, relationships, or health. Her areas of focus include stress, anxiety, eating concerns, self-esteem, compassion fatigue, and coping with life changes.
Thia helps people who are dealing with attachment difficulties, body image and eating concerns, caregiver stress, and workplace issues. She also supports those facing guilt, shame, forgiveness questions, isolation, social anxiety, and a search for life purpose. Her practice includes work with people who have experienced trauma and emotional abuse.
In sessions she talks through what feels most urgent and practical. Conversations look at patterns in relationships and daily life that keep problems going. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide that work and focuses on concrete steps people can try between meetings.
Thia approaches eating and body image concerns with attention to both behavior and feelings. For people burned out by caregiving or work, she helps notice stress responses and develop ways to reduce overwhelm. When trauma or past hurt is involved, she balances present coping with careful attention to emotional safety.
Her style is straightforward and grounded. She invites people to describe what is happening now and what they want to change. If you are questioning direction or purpose after a life shift, Thia can help you sort through practical options and next steps.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online work
Thia draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that help when stress, anxiety, eating concerns, or life changes feel overwhelming. One common approach focuses on identifying patterns in thoughts and behaviors and testing small changes to see what helps; this is useful for anxiety, low self-esteem, and workplace stress. Another approach attends to relational patterns and attachment dynamics, which can clarify why certain relationships trigger the same reactions and suggest different ways of communicating or setting boundaries.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Thia will discuss what feels most helpful, align methods with your goals, and adjust strategies based on your responses. The decision about techniques is collaborative and revisited as progress is made.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make sessions easier to fit into a busy week, reduce commuting time, and allow shorter check-ins if that fits better with work or caregiving responsibilities. It also permits sitting with emotional material in a familiar setting and trying practical steps between meetings while keeping scheduling flexible.
