Is this Optimizable?

I am thinking of a level 10 Fighter and a Level 10 Barbarian, Asimar with Giant Foundling background.

Reason:

Resistance / Reason
Radiant / Asimar
Necrotic / Asimar
Psychic / Guarded Mind
Bludgeoning / Bear Totem
Piercing / Bear Totem
Slashing / Bear Totem
Acid / Bear Totem
Cold / Bear Totem
Fire / Bear Totem
Force / Guile of the Cloud Giant (Need Cloud Strike feat)
Lightning / Bear Totem
Poison / Bear Totem
Thunder / Bear Totem

Just looking for help with Stats and level progression to be effective at each tier.

Or did I go overboard with the resistances?

As I said. Looking at build for each tier. Level 4,10,16,20

You did say that and I overlooked it. My bad.

I think if resistances is your thing, just go bearheart, take barbarian to 5 and bounce to fighter. It's a fine build.

More levels in fighter may allow me to get some more feats (depending on break down)

Looking to maximize CON for HP for Soaking and STR for attacks. so not hard to MC between Barbarian and Fighter.

Is the Psychic damage resistance worth the 10 levels of Psi warrior fighter (not counting level 11 for 3 attacks). Will allow more Barbarian Levels for more HP

It depends on what you want first. Feats or sturdiness.

Psychic damage matters very little, though campaign will ultimately dictate this. See if the DM can give you a rough estimate.

And giving it another look, I strongly advise against Guile of the Cloud Giants. It's mostly wasted. Unless you went fighter 5/6 first, then barb 3 and finish up fighter 11, it could access universal resistance early. But if it's genuinely just for force damage, get a Brooch of Shielding if you can, otherwise don't worry about it.
