Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists in Los Angeles, CA

Hello, I'm Rocio Vaca, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I follow a systematic approach to therapy and strive to understand the systems and relationships in individuals' lives while recognizing the need for autonomy. My expertise is in treating childhood trauma with a skill set in family relationships, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. I enjoy working with school age children, adolescents and parents, treating adverse childhood experiences. The goal of the youth is to reach their potential with the loving support of parents/family.

Psychotherapy and counseling help people gain fresh insights into themselves, cultivate fulfilling relationships, authentically express themselves, and lead happier, more fulfilling lives. Some are looking for help in navigating depression, anxiety, life changes, relationship difficulties, or improving emotional regulation.

I am accepting new clients via private pay. My background is neuropsychology and health psychology, therefore, I specialize with understanding the complexity of interactions between neurological illnesses and psychological symptoms such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, substance abuse, etc. I have worked with several illnesses such as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), Parkinson Disease, Multiple Sclerosis, stroke, TBI & adjustment to these medical conditions. Additionally, I believe in mindfulness meditation. You can access my "21 day Positive Mindfulness Meditation Challenge" on Spotify, Apple podcast, as well as Google podcasts.

Life's been hard enough. You might be wondering, "Who will -actually- help? Is there even any point? I can't afford to continue in this direction. Will I feel comfortable talking to someone I've just met?" After eighteen years of providing psychotherapy, I have a reputation for being down-to-earth, and easy to talk to, but have a knack for getting to the heart of the matter quickly.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, stressed, or stuck in your life? Are you dealing with relationship issues or challenges at home, school, or work? My name is Nuni, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 10 years of experience helping people who are experiencing issues like depression, anxiety, and stress. My foundation is Client-centered, which means that I believe that clients and therapists are equal partners in the therapeutic process.

Does this sound familiar? You want to be happy and fulfilled but instead you feel uncomfortable in your own skin, paralyzed by anxiety about what life will throw at you next, like you are constantly spiraling and no longer have confidence and stuck and alone. These feelings can result in having a negative outlook on life causing you to experience difficulties in intimate relationships, work, school and parenting. Life doesn’t have to stay this way! My name is Sharon Greene. I can help. I provide therapy online and in person for anxiety and depression using the most effective practices including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

I value an eclectic approach that combines psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral and mindfulness practices and emphasizes the ways in which childhood experiences shape adult personalities and functioning. I am a humanistic, client-centered therapist and I believe you are the expert in the room. We will collaborate to identify goals and areas of growth.

Greetings! My name is Asia and I help adult individuals with a history of developmental (childhood) trauma repair attachment injuries and thrive in their present-day relationships. As a team, we collaborate to make sense of these experiences, develop a toolkit of adaptive skills, and establish a safe space to promote post-traumatic growth. My therapeutic style is warm, collaborative, and individualized. You are the expert on your life, and I am here to challenge, guide and support you as you tread your therapeutic journey.

I see therapy as a collaborative process exploring how the past informs the present and allowing trust and authenticity to foster insight and development. I strive to provide the highest quality of care, focusing on the unique needs of each individual and creating a safe environment with room for challenges, exploration, process, and growth. I help clients learn and practice skills for tolerating pain in times of crisis, responding instead of reacting, increasing self-respect, improving relationships, and participating fully in each moment. My ultimate goal is to help my clients build and nurture a life they feel is worth living.

I have found that most people possess the necessary tools to improve their quality of life and simply need someone else to highlight them. I have a warm, direct style and utilize humor, when appropriate, to explore challenges and collaborate on ways to live one’s most fulfilled life. I use an experiential and intuitive approach to help clients develop the best possible relationships with themselves and others.

My name is YJ Carson, LCSW. My passion is supporting adults 18+ who are at any point in their journey toward wellness, fulfillment, discovery, and self-love. I use therapies like EMDR, CBT, and DBT that strengthen your internal resources, to help you achieve your personal growth goals. I try to keep a casual, nonjudgmental, positive, and open space. When you leave sessions, my hope is that you will feel seen, heard, understood, and challenged in helpful ways.

Are you struggling with everyday life? Do you find it hard to share how you feel because you think no one else will understand? Our life journeys can be difficult at times, but it doesn't have to be journeyed alone. I love helping people learn that they can overcome the difficulties life throws at them.

I combine a unique and specialized form of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) based on Choice Theory with a Family Systems approach to treatment. I view maladaptive behavioral patterns as a result of inadequate or dysfunctional life choices. I assist my clients in recognizing these patterns of behavior and encourage them to draw realistic and practical solutions to the things that are hindering growth and happiness through the choices they make in life. I work collaboratively with my clients using a "here and now" problem-solving technique and develop a treatment plan that uses psychotherapy, exercise, nutrition, and social support networks.

I provide a safe, comfortable space to feel your feelings, confront underlying beliefs about yourself, and learn how to navigate challenging relationships. I use a variety of approaches (CBT, DBT, EMDR, and other somatic-based ones) to help clients safely get in touch with their bodies, identify emotions and establish healthy boundaries to function more effectively at work, school, and family in relationships.

I provide personalized, compassionate and evidence based telehealth therapy services. You may for example want to target emotional regulation, manage work stress, maintain better relationships, or feel empowered in your own life. As we work together towards achieving your individual goals, you will learn new strategies to better cope with the negative thoughts, feelings and behaviors that keep you from living your best life. You can do this, you are worth investing in!

Are you struggling with depression or anxiety? Healing from past trauma? Going through grief? Seeking better work life balance? Searching for direction and meaning in life? There are many reasons to seek psychotherapy. Seeking therapy is a brave step: choosing to face your challenges head on, opening up about past conflicts and traumas, bringing up difficult memories and feelings, making life changes in the face of uncertainty, and so forth. In therapy, we work together to develop insight, self-compassion, resiliency, emotional relief, and self-agency, among other strengths, in service of a more fulfilling and congruent life.

My clinical practice is based in trauma-informed and individualized care. My approach to therapy is person-centered and community based. I believe in the importance of exploring how race, culture, gender identity and socio-economic status impact our mental health. It is my belief that quality clinical care looks at the individual from a holistic perspective. I engage individuals in a way that they not only feel heard but seen. My purpose is to create a safe and compassionate space where individuals feel motivated to explore their inner selves and maximize their full potential.

So much of what we experience in our early life impacts who we are as adults. Whatever barrier or struggle you may be experiencing; I am here to go through this therapeutic journey of self-understanding in order to build on the strengths you inherently have and to achieve a life of resiliency and fulfillment. A motto I live by is “Hold the vision and trust the process.” It can be a hard decision knowing that you need support and seeking it out. For that I am grateful that you have taken this step in getting the support you deserve.
