My name is Melissa Patti and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Work (LCSW) in California. I am a Diplomate of the Academy of Cognitive Therapy. I have been providing individual therapy services for 12 years. My approach to therapy varies based on the needs of each client I work with. I most frequently use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and challenge unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, to gain greater control over their emotional responses and actions. I support clients in understanding and overcoming the challenges they face while equipping them with the tools and strategies needed for long-term success.
I work with adults and older adults who are struggling with depression and anxiety. I help clients acquire practical tools and techniques that they can apply in everyday situations to enhance their overall quality of life, promoting lasting change and helping them build resilience.
My approach to goal setting is through a collaborative approach where we work together on establishing goals that are specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and timely. This often starts by building rapport and trust, and what it means to be in therapy. Progress is tracked using outcome measures.
