About Isamar
Isamar Miguel Gonzalez is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with six years of clinical experience. She works with people facing addictions, relationship strain, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and major life changes. She sees adults who are dealing with guilt and shame and wants to address how those feelings shape daily life.
Isamar uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and centers cultural humility and intersectionality in her work. She recognizes how sexual orientation, culture, immigration background, and lived experience influence a person’s story. Sessions focus on understanding patterns that keep someone stuck and on practical steps to shift those patterns.
In sessions she helps people unpack attachment issues, abandonment wounds, and family of origin problems. She also supports people with substance use concerns, communication problems, and the emotional fallout from domestic violence. She describes mood challenges, life purpose questions, and midlife transitions as areas she frequently addresses.
Isamar often combines approaches that target trauma, relationships, and coping skills. That can mean practicing new ways to communicate, learning tools to manage difficult memories, and exploring how guilt or shame affects decision making. She offers work in English and Spanish and practices with attention to multicultural concerns.
Practical tasks are part of the work - trying out a different response, rehearsing a conversation, or tracking patterns between sessions. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a first session through the online options provided.
How evidence-based approaches shape online sessions
Isamar draws from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that target trauma and attachment. Trauma-focused work emphasizes grounding skills, pacing memories, and building tolerance for difficult emotions; it helps people reduce the hold of past events on current life. Attachment-focused techniques look at patterns in relationships and communication, helping people notice repeated reactions and try different responses.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. She collaborates with each person to identify goals and preferences, then adapts methods over time based on what is helpful. The aim is to find practical steps that fit a person’s life and capacity rather than sticking to a single method.
Confirm the current session options before booking since formats were not specified in the original biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Therapists can also adjust exercises so they work over a video or phone conversation, which helps carry new skills into everyday situations.
