About Gauri
Gauri Sanchez Yup is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with eight years of clinical experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and social anxiety and phobia. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.
Gauri focuses on practical conversation and clear steps people can use between sessions. She listens for what feels most urgent and then helps clients try manageable changes in thinking and behavior. Sessions are straightforward and paced to the clients comfort.
She pays attention to how people relate in close connections and how those patterns show up in daily life. That perspective can help when communication problems, guilt, shame, or forgiveness are part of the struggle. Gauri helps people notice small relationship habits and test new ways of interacting.
For trauma and abuse she uses approaches that emphasize safety and stability first, then gradual processing when a person feels ready. With depression and low self-esteem the work often blends mood-focused techniques with skill-building for self-care and self-acceptance.
Her bilingual skills let Spanish speakers work in their preferred language.

Approaches for anxiety and relationship work using online sessions
Gauri uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on what helps in everyday life. One common approach she uses involves teaching specific skills to manage anxious thoughts and physical symptoms, such as breathing and grounding strategies plus exercises to test anxious predictions. This is useful for social anxiety and situations that feel overwhelming in public or in groups. She also works from a relational perspective that looks at how communication patterns and interaction habits affect mood and conflict. That kind of work helps when relationship stress, guilt, shame, or difficulty expressing needs are central concerns. For trauma-related work she emphasizes stabilization first, helping clients build routines and coping tools before processing difficult memories. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will review your goals and preferences and collaborate with you to try methods that fit your needs, adjusting as you go. Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow a shorter check-in when time is limited, and let people choose a quieter setting or avoid travel. Licensed professionals offering remote sessions can often match meeting length and frequency to what works for daily life, while still focusing on practical skills for social anxiety and relationship concerns.Areas of expertise
