Adamina Camacho, LMFT

Adamina Camacho is a California-licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 17 years of clinical experience working with adult clients across the state. She delivers telehealth services designed to address a broad range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, family conflicts, and workplace stress. Her practice also focuses on issues such as abandonment and attachment difficulties, caregiver stress, commitment and control issues, divorce and separation, family of origin dynamics, gender dysphoria, guilt and shame, infidelity, life purpose, midlife transition, and money or financial stress.

Her therapeutic style is tailored to each client, often blending approaches to meet individual needs. She helps clients identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns, manage intense emotions, build self-awareness, and set achievable goals. Sessions begin with an assessment phase to understand the client and introduce the therapy process, and goal setting is approached collaboratively because the client is viewed as the expert on their own life.

Adamina communicates in a calm, personable, and authentic manner and aims to create a supportive therapeutic environment that encourages open expression. Although the service offers multiple session formats, she does not provide live chat at this time and encourages scheduling live video or phone sessions to build stronger rapport and get the most from treatment. She is not able to accept clients covered under Kaiser Permanente health plans, even if paying out of pocket.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Client-centered therapy emphasizes a collaborative, empathic relationship in which the therapist follows the client's lead and supports personal growth; it is helpful for people seeking greater self-understanding and clearer direction during life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical strategies and structured exercises - it is often used for symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and tolerating distress, which can be especially useful for clients struggling with emotional regulation and relationship patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and she works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they assess what is working, adjust strategies as needed, and set achievable steps toward progress.

Online therapy with this clinician is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to attend regular sessions from home or work, reduce travel time, and maintain continuity of care when life circumstances change, while allowing licensed professionals to tailor the format to each client's preferences.
