Dmitri Kolpacoff
Hello, I’m Dmitri Kolpacoff, Registered Associate Professional Clinical Counselor (APCC20355). I provide therapy entirely through secure audio and video sessions across California, making it easier for busy parents, working adults, teens navigating school pressures, or families dealing with daily stresses to get support without travel or added costs. Life can feel overwhelming, whether it’s persistent worry that keeps you up at night, feelings of sadness that make even small tasks hard, struggles in relationships that leave you feeling disconnected, or attachment patterns from the past that show up in how you connect with others today. I understand these experiences, especially when resources are stretched thin and asking for help feels like one more burden. Many people I work with come from backgrounds where mental health conversations weren’t common, or where stigma made it hard to reach out. My goal is to meet you exactly where you are, without judgment, and walk alongside you toward feeling more grounded, hopeful, and in control. I draw from proven approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help reframe unhelpful thoughts, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) for building practical skills in managing emotions and relationships, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to clarify what matters most to you, and mindfulness practices to stay present amid stress. I also use motivational interviewing to support your own strengths and motivations for change. Together, we tailor these tools to fit your life and goals, whether that’s reducing anxiety so you can show up more fully for your family, easing depression to reclaim energy for things you enjoy, or strengthening connections in relationships. I believe everyone deserves a safe, confidential space to be heard and understood. If you’re ready to take that step, even if it’s your first time, I’m here to support you through it. Reach out; we can start at a pace that feels right for you.
Therapeutic Approach
My therapy style stands out through a strong emphasis on attachment theory and relationship dynamics. Many patients I see carry early patterns that influence how they connect today, leading to anxiety in relationships, feelings of disconnection, repeated conflicts, or challenges expressing needs. These issues often overlap with depression or stress from daily responsibilities and limited resources. I help patients understand their attachment style and its impact on current relationships. This awareness fosters self-compassion and opens the door to healthier, more secure connections. I combine this focus with evidence-based methods tailored to each person: • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to address unhelpful thought patterns. • Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for emotion regulation and communication. • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to align actions with personal values. • Mindfulness practices to manage stress in the moment. • Motivational interviewing to build on your own strengths and readiness for change. In our telehealth sessions, the relationship we build becomes a safe, consistent space for growth. We work at your pace toward stronger emotional bonds and reduced relational distress.
