About Travis
Travis Fortenberry is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with 12 years of practice. He focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, grief, coping with life changes, and ADHD. His work also addresses social anxiety and phobia, panic attacks, and workplace issues.
He presents ideas plainly and works in a collaborative, person-centered way. Sessions include listening, asking clarifying questions, and helping people notice patterns that keep problems active. He often emphasizes building self-compassion and improving communication skills.
Travis connects emotional concerns with practical life pressures. That means talking about money stress, job dynamics, and managing chronic pain or illness when they affect a person’s day-to-day. He also helps people who are navigating divorce, separation, or the fallout from abandonment and guilt.
For people with ADHD or impulsivity, he focuses on strategies that fit how they think and act rather than forcing rigid routines. For social anxiety and phobia he works on small steps that make social situations more manageable over time.
His approach draws on depth-oriented thinkers such as Carl Jung, Thomas Moore, and James Hillman, while staying grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques. Travis helps people notice meaning in their reactions and then practice different ways of responding.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and session costs vary by location.
Approaches used and how online sessions work
Travis combines evidence-based therapeutic techniques with depth-oriented ideas to help people address both immediate problems and underlying patterns. One common thread is practical skill-building for anxiety and panic, which focuses on small, achievable steps to reduce avoidance and increase confidence in social situations. Another strand emphasizes self-compassion and communication work, teaching clearer ways to express needs and set boundaries when relationships feel strained.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Travis collaborates with each person to decide which techniques make sense for their goals, needs, and preferences. He will try different options and adjust based on how a client responds, so the plan evolves rather than being fixed from the start.
Practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into a busy routine and reducing travel time. Online work can make scheduling easier around jobs or appointments and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Confirm the available session formats before booking, since specific formats are not listed in the profile. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, which may help people pace their work and budgeting.
