Who You’ll Meet With in California
I am Courtney Quattrini, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and I see couples, individuals, and teens online anywhere in California. Whether your schedule doesn’t permit commute times or you’re too far from my San Francisco and Berkeley offices, a screen does not stop us from doing the real work.
For twenty years in strategic communications, I taught executives and global brands how to tell their stories. My love of storytelling wasn't just about helping people speak more clearly - it was about helping them speak authentically. And to do that, I realized I needed to help people listen more deeply. To the stories that had been shaping their lives, often without their noticing. To themselves. To each other.
That is the part that travels. A screen does not stop me from hearing where a story goes quiet, or from mapping out the patterns you stopped noticing years ago.
I don't sit in the therapy room as an aloof, sterile blank slate. I bring journalistic rigor, direct and warm collaboration, and my lived humanity into the room, whether the room is my office in San Francisco or wherever you are sitting. I've lived the exact chapters my clients bring in.
It's time to get to the bottom of your real story.

What Online Sessions Make Possible
A therapist who fits, even if the nearest good option is two hours away
Sessions that survive a hard week, a work trip, or a sick kid
Couples work that happens without two commutes and a babysitter
Continuity when you move within the state
The same depth, from a room where you already feel like yourself
Some people find it easier to say a hard thing from their own kitchen table. Others want the neutral ground of an office. I see both types of clients.
How Online Sessions Work
Sessions happen by secure video. You will get a link before each appointment, and you do not need to download anything complicated or create an account.
What you do need is a private hour and a decent connection. Headphones help. A door helps more.
