Marco Regalado Chacon, LMFT

Marco Regalado Chacon is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with six years of professional experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, and issues related to sexual orientation and gender identity, and he offers focused support for self-esteem and confidence concerns.

He brings an evidence-informed approach to therapy, helping people explore patterns of thinking and behavior that get in the way of daily functioning and relationships. Marco also addresses attachment and family of origin issues, codependency, and the emotional impacts of illness, immigration, or isolation. His practice includes care for those navigating guilt, shame, self-harm, and personality or trauma-related concerns.

Marco aims to foster an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be expressed honestly. He encourages taking the first step toward a more fulfilling life and supports clients through motivation, skill building, and collaborative problem solving as they work toward their goals.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Flexible Online Care

Marco uses evidence-based techniques that help clients identify unhelpful patterns of thought and behavior and learn practical coping skills to reduce anxiety, manage depressive symptoms, and improve day-to-day functioning. This work often focuses on recognizing automatic thoughts, testing assumptions, and building alternative strategies for challenging moments.

He also offers attachment-focused and relational work to explore how early relationships and family of origin dynamics shape current connections and self-worth. For clients facing addictions or motivation challenges, Marco incorporates skills-based strategies to support recovery, increase motivation, and develop healthier routines.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Marco partners with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting approaches over time to find the best fit. Online therapy offers practical benefits for this work - sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to maintain consistency, fit therapy into busy schedules, and access support from familiar environments. These options enhance flexibility and make it simpler to engage in ongoing therapeutic work with a licensed professional.
