Marco Viteri
*Currently not taking couples** I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in California. I received my master’s degree at Pacific Oaks College with a specialization in Trauma and I have been practicing for over 8 years. I help people by providing them with coping skills when they are overwhelmed, assist them with building a “life worth living”, and help them with working through every day life stressors including: work, relationships, family difficulties.
Having worked with a diverse population for over 9 years has helped me with developing many different modalities and skills to help you with achieving the life that you desire.
First session
In our first session together, we’ll start with a brief introduction, and then focus on some of the challenges that you are facing. We will talk about how things are going and then create a plan on what you would like to achieve. This will assist me with creating a unique and tailored treatment plan that will address your challenges and work through follow up session.

Having worked with a diverse population for over 8 years has helped me with developing many different modalities and skills to help you with achieving the life that you desire. We will help you with identifying some of the barriers to your successes and then create effective ways of processing the difficulties as they arise in order to help you feel like you are making progress.
Ideal clients
I’m passionate about working with individuals who are navigating anxiety and/or depression—those who are doing their best to manage overwhelming emotions but feel like they just don’t have the right tools to truly move forward. Many of the people I work with feel stuck, exhausted, and hopeless, despite their efforts to feel better. They might be showing up for their responsibilities, supporting others, or trying to stay positive—but inside, it often feels like they’re barely holding it together. In our work together, I create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can begin to unpack what’s really going on beneath the surface. We focus on understanding your emotional patterns, building tools that actually work for you, and reconnecting with your inner resilience. Healing isn’t about ‘fixing’ yourself—it’s about learning to be with yourself in a new way, one that’s grounded in compassion, clarity, and hope.
Treatment methods
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I use this therapeutic approach to help clients develop practical skills they can apply both inside and outside of therapy. In sessions, we identify current challenges, explore the thoughts, emotions, and patterns connected to them, and practice strategies tailored to the client’s individual needs and goals. I have found that this approach helps clients strengthen emotional regulation, increase self-awareness, improve communication, and respond to difficulties more intentionally. My goal is for clients to leave therapy with adaptable tools they can continue using throughout different stages of life, including during periods of stress, crisis, transition, or unexpected challenges.
Trauma Informed Care
I use a trauma-informed lens to help clients understand how past traumatic or overwhelming experiences may influence their current emotions, behaviors, relationships, and coping patterns. Rather than viewing these responses as personal flaws, we explore how they may have developed as ways of creating safety or managing distress. I prioritize emotional and physical safety, trust, collaboration, and client choice throughout the therapeutic process. Together, we develop healthier coping strategies that can reduce emotional overwhelm, strengthen emotional regulation, and help clients respond to present-day challenges with greater awareness and control. I also respect each client’s pace and readiness, ensuring that trauma is explored without pressuring them to disclose or process experiences before they feel prepared.
