About Belen
Belen Barragan is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 13 years of experience. She centers therapy on each person’s strengths and on practical steps they can use to feel better. She speaks English and Spanish and practices in California.
Belen focuses on anxiety and stress, including panic disorder and panic attacks. She also helps people who are coping with relationship strain, family conflict, depression, and the effects of trauma and abuse. Her approach keeps sessions straightforward and grounded in what will help day to day.
Her work draws on attachment‑based ideas and client‑centered care that let people tell their story at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. Trauma‑focused methods are available for those working through painful past events.
Belen aims to make sessions collaborative. She treats the person in front of her as the expert on their life and helps set clear, manageable goals. Conversations tend to be practical and focused on small changes that add up over time.
If someone is unsure how to begin, Belen guides them through a short matching questionnaire and scheduling process. She uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and she works with California clients in English and Spanish.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment‑based work focuses on how early relationships shape today's connections. It helps people notice patterns in how they seek support and learn new ways to relate to others. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts, feelings, and actions in a concrete way. It helps people spot unhelpful thinking, try different behaviors, and track whether those changes reduce anxiety or panic.Finding the right approach is something the therapist and client decide together. Belen listens to your concerns and goals and explains which methods might fit best. That decision is revisited as progress is made and needs change, so the plan can shift over time.
Confirm current session options before booking to know which online formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, shorten commute time, and allow more flexible scheduling. It can also make it simpler to follow homework between sessions, practice skills in daily settings, and maintain continuity when routines change.
