My name is Sonia Vaquera and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Bakersfield, California, and working with clients statewide via telehealth. I work with adults (couples/families) and specialize in depression, anxiety, stress, family relationships, couples therapy, relapse prevention using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, psychodynamic, family systems, interpersonal, motivational interviewing, person-centered approach, and behavioral therapy to help my clients make progress and take charge with better leadership in their own lives.
In my practice, I believe in creating a safe, non-judgmental, and supportive space where clients feel understood and empowered to tackle their challenges. My approach is primarily Client-Centered/Holistic/Integrative, etc., meaning that I tailor each session to meet the unique needs and goals of each individual.
During our first session, clients can expect a welcoming environment where we focus on getting to know each other, building rapport, and establishing trust. I’ll ask some questions to learn more about their background, current concerns, and what they hope to achieve through therapy.
