About Travis

Travis Fortenberry is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with 12 years of clinical experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, ADHD, and major life changes. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking when life feels uncertain. Travis frames problems as interconnected rather than isolated. He helps people develop self-compassion and better communication skills. He also works with issues like panic, social anxiety, guilt and shame, and the practical fallout of divorce and separation. He pays attention to practical pressures too, including money and workplace problems, and coping with chronic pain, illness, or disability. For people managing ADHD and impulsivity, he helps craft strategies that match how they actually function day to day. His style is collaborative and person-centered. He treats the client as the expert on their life, asks pointed questions, and supports reflection that leads to clearer choices. He draws inspiration from the ideas of Carl Jung, Thomas Moore, and James Hillman and uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques in session. If someone feels stuck about work, purpose, or the next step after a major change, he helps them sort options and notice what matters. To begin, clients select the See online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

Travis draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. He often uses approaches that focus on building skills for anxiety and panic - practical tools to manage symptoms, structure daily routines, and practice short behavioral experiments. These methods help people reduce the immediate intensity of panic and manage social anxiety in real situations.

He also emphasizes relational and insight-oriented work inspired by Jungian-influenced thinkers. This involves exploring patterns in relationships, values, and meaning to illuminate why certain choices feel stuck or heavy. That work can help when people are rethinking life purpose or handling complicated grief and separation.

Finding the best approach is part of the process. Travis works collaboratively to test techniques, adjust strategies, and combine methods that fit a client's goals and preferences. He discusses options openly and adapts the plan as needed based on what is and isn't helpful.

Confirm current session formats before booking so you know what's offered. Online work can make sessions easier to fit into a day, allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time for busy schedules. Talk with him about the practical setup you need and how to make sessions work around your everyday life.
