Alexander Yoo
Hello! You may not know me yet, but I'm looking forward to getting to know you. I use a change-oriented approach with a bent toward meaning-making and "the big questions" of life. I don't think BetterHelp really has the tools to do in-depth therapeutic work. Therefore, I tend to see my role here as more of a counselor. Would you like me to 1) listen and/or 2) give advice/feedback/opinions? It depends on what you’re needing in the moment. I'd like for you to get some relief and clarity in your life. Whatever your goals, or the life transitions you want to better understand, I can help you, regardless of your culture, your background, your politics, philosophy, or past. (Note: I am also an ordained clergyperson with a Master of Divinity MDiv degree, and a hospice chaplain. Faith/religion/spirituality or no, if you want to integrate that into our talks, great. If not, also great. I'm well-versed in many religions and philosophical approaches to existence). Talk soon, Alexander Yoo, MDiv, MA, LMFT

Mary Franco
Hello. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and I’m happy to say I have been in this profession for over 16 years. I find this work very rewarding and interesting. I enjoy hearing my client’s unique stories and collaborating with them to discover ways to support therapeutic, emotional and personal goals. My therapeutic approach is strength based with eclectic therapeutic techniques that adapt to the individualized needs of my clients. I’ve worked in telehealth, private practice, community-based organizations, and in public schools with different grade levels. This variety of counseling settings has provided me with the opportunity and privilege to work with adults, children, adolescents and couples. Prior to becoming a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I worked in the non-profit sector, providing counseling services, supporting individuals in foster care, and providing in- home behavioral support for children and families. Therapy is a process…some individuals prefer their journey be shorter than others. Some individuals may feel they need more time for self- discovery, personal growth and/or to work through specific problematic life situations. Regardless of your preference, there is no right or wrong way to approach your therapeutic experience. What is important, is that you connect with your therapist, feel comfortable, and that the Therapist is willing to meet you where you are now. Life change requires the courage to take the first step, and I would like to help by providing support, understanding and a trusting therapeutic relationship. I look forward to meeting with you.

Find a therapist near you in Tres Pinos, California
Finding a therapist near you in Tres Pinos, California starts with matching to a licensed professional who fits your needs, schedule, and goals. California is home to people with diverse mental health needs across urban, suburban, and rural communities, which can make it challenging to find care. BetterHelp connects you with a licensed therapist through tailored matching, so you can begin care from home or wherever works for you.
The network includes over 30,000 licensed therapists globally, and over 4 million people have used BetterHelp to find support through online therapy. During matching, 93% of user preferences are met, which helps you connect with a therapist suited to what you are looking for. Whether you are searching for help with anxiety, trauma, affordable or insurance covered therapy, weekend or flexible scheduling, or virtual sessions, you can find a therapist and get started when you are ready.
Why work with a licensed therapist near you?
Working with a licensed therapist near you gives you access to professional mental health support from someone trained to help you understand and manage what you are going through. A licensed therapist can offer evidence-based approaches, a steady space to talk, and guidance tailored to your situation. In California, online therapy can make that care more accessible, since sessions happen from home or wherever you are, without the need to travel to an office. This can help if your schedule is full, if travel is difficult, or if you simply prefer a more discreet setting. You can learn more about what a therapist does on the therapist role page.
Online therapy can be especially helpful for people living across California, where access to in-person mental health care may vary by location.
What concerns can therapists help with?
Therapists can help with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety and stress, depression, trauma and PTSD, self-esteem and identity, people-pleasing and fear of rejection, insomnia and racing thoughts, workplace stress and burnout, substance use, parenting and co-parenting stress, grief and loss, and relationship and family challenges. Therapists on BetterHelp may draw on approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), depending on your needs and goals. You can explore support for specific concerns on pages such as generalized anxiety disorder, major depressive disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, and eating disorders.
Please note that therapists on BetterHelp do not provide psychiatric medication management or formal diagnoses.
Online therapy vs. in-person therapy in California
Online therapy and in-person therapy both connect you with a licensed professional, and the main difference is how you meet. In California, online therapy through BetterHelp lets you have sessions by phone, video, or in-app messaging, so you can meet from home or on a schedule that fits your life. In-person therapy takes place at an office and may involve travel and set appointment windows. Online therapy may be more accessible for people with busy schedules, limited transportation, or a preference for a more discreet setting. Both formats can support meaningful progress, so the right choice often comes down to what fits your life.

BetterHelp accepts insurance through many major insurance plans. Insurance availability and coverage may vary by state, plan, provider network, and therapist availability, and deductible status. Eligible members' average copay is $23 per session.
