Autumn Goss

California, California - Marriage And Family Therapist
Online
In Person

Autumn is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who specializes in helping adults, teens and couples navigate anxiety, emotional overwhelm, and relationship conflict with clarity and confidence. She began her career working with young adults on a college campus, supporting clients through anxiety, depression, identity development, and major life transitions. This foundation shaped her understanding of how early relational experiences and life-stage stressors impact emotional regulation and self-worth. Autumn later served on the Orange County Crisis Assessment Team, where she de-escalated high-risk situations and conducted assessments for suicidality, homicidality, and grave disability. Working with individuals in acute distress strengthened her ability to remain calm, grounded, and deeply compassionate during life’s most overwhelming moments. In private practice, Autumn works with individuals struggling with anxiety and anger as well as couples caught in cycles of miscommunication, disconnection, and recurring conflict. She helps clients understand the deeper patterns driving their reactions so they can respond with intention instead of reactivity. With couples, Autumn uses a Gottman-informed approach to address attachment wounds, rebuild trust after betrayal, strengthen communication, and foster lasting connection. Her work is practical, insight-driven, and collaborative — blending evidence-based tools with warmth and accountability. Autumn believes therapy should be a space where you feel both supported and challenged. Whether you are navigating anxiety that won’t quiet down, emotions that escalate quickly, or a relationship that feels stuck, she helps you build the awareness and skills needed for meaningful, sustainable change. "I believe the struggles of life, when handled with care, offer unique opportunities for growth. It is within pain, suffering, and trial that one discovers meaning, responsibility, and peace. I am passionate about helping people uncover meaning within pain and find peace amidst turmoil. I strive to provide my clients with a therapeutic relationship that is free of judgment and oriented towards truth."
