My name is E. Penny Jacobo and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I believe many of our problems in life can be managed by changing our own thoughts and perspectives. We are usually more capable and powerful than we give ourselves credit for and I aim to help others find and use their own inner strength to solve their problems. I work with clients to identify cognitive distortions and change them. I also believe that taking the time to pause and be present at the moment is crucial to creating insight into our lives and our problems.

I specialize in healing trauma and move past anger, trust issues, difficult memories/dreams, overthinking patterns, sadness and/or loneliness. Having experienced traumatic events can cause some of these daily hardships. Loneliness and and imposter syndrome can feel overbearing, even if you're surrounded by people and have successful careers/academics. Asking for help can be a very difficult thing. Some have postponed professional help, hoping this would go away by itself, to then realize that therapy is worth the try. I get it! Today can be the time to start the healing process and become your best version.

Reaching out for support can feel overwhelming, especially when you are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship stress, substance use, trauma, or feeling stuck in patterns that no longer feel healthy or sustainable. Many clients I work with feel emotionally overwhelmed, disconnected in relationships, or unsure how to move forward. Whether you are seeking support during a difficult time or looking to create deeper long-term change, therapy can be a place to reconnect with yourself and build a more balanced and fulfilling life.

Virtual EMDR for Women with Complex Trauma. If you’re struggling with anxiety or the effects of past experiences, you may feel constantly on edge, stuck in patterns that don’t shift, or weighed down by a heaviness you can’t quite name—old guilt, deep fear, replayed memories, or layers of self-judgment. Your mind races, your heart tightens, and your body stays on alert. ‍ Many people seeking trauma therapy online already understand why they feel the way they do. But insight alone doesn’t create lasting change.

Encinitas, CA 92024
My focus is on the treatment of trauma, and how trauma manifests itself in each of my clients' lives. Untreated trauma often shows itself as substance abuse, depression, compulsive overeating, or compulsive sexual behavior. Trauma and substance abuse may make it difficult for us to make vital life transitions and transformations. We get stuck... so to speak. If this sounds like you, I want to provide a safe space to explore your concerns. I have both weekday video sessions and live Saturday sessions available. I primarily use Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy to treat trauma.

Early Morning 7 AM Therapy Available - You’ve carried the weight of a chaotic or emotionally unsafe childhood for so long it feels normal. Growing up taught you to stay small, stay quiet, stay useful. Now you’re still living with the people‑pleasing behavior, shutting down, over‑functioning, or getting triggered in relationships. Many of the people I work with are adult children of alcoholic or emotionally unavailable parents, or survivors of neglect, abuse, or chronic invalidation. We explore why those patterns still feel necessary.

Are you a creative helper who is completely exhausted from carrying everyone else's emotional weight? Do you love what you do, but feel like you are running on fumes, dreading Sunday nights, or losing your creative spark? You didn't get into your field to burn out, but chronic stress changes how your body and mind function. As a former educator and freelance musician, I understand the unique weight of the "helper" reality. In my practice, we go beyond standard talk therapy. Using somatic (body-based) practices, we work to release the physical toll of chronic stress, calm your nervous system, and help you reclaim your energy.

I work with culturally diverse adults navigating the weight of spaces that do not reflect or support who they are. My clients include women, LGBTQ individuals, military families, blended families, and people from immigrant and African diaspora communities. Many are dealing with cultural expectations, identity concerns, and the relational strain of living between worlds. Others are working through anxiety, depression, trauma, or maternal mental health challenges. What they share is a desire to make sense of their story and move toward something healthier.
