Hi, my name is Julian. Allow me to briefly introduce myself (more technical version below). In brief, I'm a highly experienced professional with hopes of sharing what I believe works best based on my training, education, and experience with thousands of previous clients! In doing so, I attempt to understand your identified concerns as accurately as possible, then help to decipher what's contributing to these issues and work with you to alleviate them. In essence, I'm like a "hybrid" professional, one who can speakeasy or technically, using a light-hearted albeit positive approach that aligns with your best interests and desired goals.

Julian G. Cano, LCSW-S, Board Certified Diplomate in Clinical Social Work, Certified Mental Health Integrative Medical Provider, has a doctoral education and 20 years of treatment experience while serving diverse clientele struggling with mental health conditions, health problems, as well as, relationship issues and other life circumstances. By using an array of treatment skills and modalities, I assist clients in making meaningful emotional, cognitive, behavioral, and lifestyle changes. For example, I frequently rely on a range of theories and treatment approaches including psychoanalytic, cognitive-behavioral, interpersonal processing, motivational interviewing, family systems, solution-focused therapy, and mindfulness therapies, each individualized toward a client’s specific needs. Moreover, this professional is well versed regarding the effects of trauma, depression, anxiety, alcohol and drugs, sexual problems, relationship conflicts, employment and career issues, academic problems, grief and bereavement, and personality dysfunction, all of which prolongs suffering. Most importantly, I believe that I relate well to people of all ages, cultural backgrounds, gender, students, military and veterans, law enforcement personnel, medical staff, nurses, physicians, therapists or counselors, and business executives. My professional and personal interests include ancient history, sports at every level, automotive, health and fitness, nutrition, reading, YouTube, education and training, clinical supervision, spirituality, and enjoying genuine humor. If you feel that I might be of service and like to receive counseling, coaching, or consultation, then let's begin working on these matters promptly to restore your desired level of functioning and performance!

About online counseling

Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

He's a great thinker and is very good at listening and then applying verbiage that makes sense to me and helps me understand what message he's trying to get across. He also does a good job at talking about the past, but not letting you sit there and moves things to the oresent and then focus on the future

I'm two sessions in but I'm already very grateful for Dr. Cano's insight and assistance. Not only is he an expert in his field, working with people with my background, disposition, and particular problems on a daily basis, but he also uses a science-based approach that is hard to find when treating substance abuse problems. Some of his suggestions I am already familiar with through my own research, but having him affirm my findings is good, and some of his suggestions are ones I have never even thought of or come across. I have begun implementing them to success.

Reviewed September 2020

Julian’s style of counseling has lead me on a journey to actually figure out who I am and why. It’s been an experience of rebirth to understand and identify the “why’s” in my life and move forward with new perspective. Not only have I faced and addressed passes traumas, I’m learning how to identify & control the way my body physically responds to it. Julian is very solution based which sets a strong tone for the week in between sessions. Receiving validation & closure on things I’d normally overanalyze has lifted so much weight that has always held me down. The biggest lesson I’m learning through our sessions is to trust myself. Learning how to trust myself has been the biggest factor in building self respect & confidence. I highly recommend Julian & am grateful for his guidance.
