About Benigno
Benigno Quirarte is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 25 years of experience based in California. He focuses on practical, down-to-earth support for people dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and career worries. He also helps with depression and relationship challenges.
Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. Benigno uses a mix of approaches to match what each person needs. He draws on Gottman Method ideas for relationship patterns, cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking, and acceptance and commitment tools to clarify values and take action.
Background and approach
In sessions he listens with respect and sensitivity. Conversations are tailored to your situation. He works to make goals clear and steps concrete so progress is easier to recognize.
He also addresses common concerns like communication problems, loneliness, guilt and shame, and work stress. Benigno helps people working through divorce or separation and those coping with panic attacks or post-traumatic stress. Therapy focuses on building practical skills for everyday life.
That can mean practicing new ways to talk about problems, creating routines that reduce anxiety, or identifying career priorities that feel meaningful. He aims to support and empower each person through steady, collaborative work.

Online support
How Benigno’s approaches translate to online therapy
Benigno uses Gottman Method ideas to look at how people interact and build better communication patterns; this helps when relationship habits cause repeated conflict or disconnection. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions toward them while learning to live with difficult emotions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, targets specific thoughts and behaviors that keep anxiety and low mood active, and teaches practical tools to change them.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. He will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped in the past. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different lifestyles. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill practice, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging offers shorter check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work breaks, caregiving schedules, or longer commutes while keeping the focus on actionable steps and steady progress.
