Stress Therapists in California

Greetings, I am Stefanie Rios, holding a license as a Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) working with clients statewide in California via telehealth. My work focus is individual counseling geared toward adults. I am strong in working with symptoms associated with anxiety, stress, and relational issues among others while utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Post Modern theories, and/or Family Systems to help build client’s insight and awareness of symptoms and issues.

Feeling fatigued, burnout, overwhelmed, or even confused are very common issues my clients describe as their chief complaint. These symptoms may have underlying causes that lead to the need to seek healing and the wish to carve one's own path in life in a safe and caring environment. I have extensive experience working with teens and adults who want to understand and overcome their issues related to post-traumatic stress disorder, attachment wounds, depression, anxiety, performance anxiety, perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, grief and loss, low self-esteem, stress management.

Hi I'm Krista, and I'm so glad you're here. I specialize in working with individuals who are experiencing anxiety, depression, stress/burnout, relationship issues, or those who come from dysfunctional family systems. I also have a focus in working premarital couples and women who are perinatal in the transition from maiden to mother and the issues that can come up around pregnancy, postpartum, and parenthood. I take a holistic approach to therapy, weaving together eastern philosophy with western psychology in my sessions, bringing awareness to the present moment and the body.

My name is Aquino Chhong and I am a marriage and family therapist who believes in helping people to identify and work on the change they want. I am familiar with working with depression, anxiety, life stress, life transitions, trauma, and grief. I typically work with adult and adolescent individuals, with more experience in working with adults. I also have experience in providing family therapy.

I help single mothers who are struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, and burnout. If you are a single mother and you find yourself being overly critical of who you are, often fail to prioritize your needs, feel as if your cup is always empty, struggle with being overly irritated, feel like you've lost yourself, not happy with who you see in the mirror, I am here to help.

Embarking on the journey of psychotherapy is a courageous and empowering act. My intention is to assist you in recognizing, respecting, and building on your strengths, and improving your capacity for self regulation. Through this partnership, I will assist you in bringing unconscious faulty core beliefs to the light of mindful awareness, engaging your wisdom and compassion. I will work with you collaboratively to address and navigate through your pain, your perceived limitations and stuck places, which are your growing edges. This demanding and enlivening work can improve your quality of life, and expand your capacity for joy and happiness.

As your therapist, my first offering would be creating a safe environment for you, whereby you know that you are being heard, respected, and validated. I respect and honor your wish to find someone to work with; a traveling companion for the road you are on.  I know this first step is a hard one.  I’ve been in your shoes too. Here is what I have learned: connection matters. Feelings matter. Knowing, that someone sees how hard it can be, matters. And yes, expertise matters. If you’ve gotten this far then you are likely wondering- could this person possibly be my/our therapist? Will she understand me/us? Will she care? Can she help?

As Clinical Director of a specialized anxiety institute in Los Angeles that served individuals from all over the world, I have worked for years to improve the lives of those affected by various manifestations of anxiety and obsessive-compulsive spectrum disorders. Today, I individually tailor the most innovative, research-validated treatments for anxiety in my private practice in Los Angeles, CA.

I believe that every person can become their best and be confident in living their best lives. My passion is to help others make sense of their situations and feel happier about themselves, so they can enjoy life in the moment. I am committed to working with you to understand yourself and be more connected with others. We will spend time together to identify ways to heal, communicate better, and enhancing coping strategies and focus on reducing your symptoms by minimizing problematic behaviors, decreasing reactivity, and being less overwhelmed.

I offer individual holistic psychotherapy for women in San Francisco. My clients often seek relief for ongoing stress and the many ways it manifests - including anxiety, low self-esteem, perfectionism, burnout, grief, relationships and/or trauma. My therapeutic style is warm, authentic, and compassionate, and my approach is mindfulness-based and somatic. I welcome your unique experience with all of its complexity, and will integrate psyche, heart, body and spirit in my therapeutic approach. I am curious about the relationships, sociocultural contexts and environments that impact you and your wellbeing.

I’m here to help you creatively navigate your challenges and feel more at home in your life. Your experience of therapy will be uniquely your own. Our work together can focus on specific goals or it can be exploratory and non-linear. While talking will usually be a large part of therapy, we may also include writing, reflective exercises, meditation practices, story telling, role playing, therapeutic touch, and art making. As we work together, we'll continue to discover what approaches work best for you. I offer therapy over the phone, also known as remote therapy, to accommodate challenges you may have with coming to my office.

"I'm not enough" - smart enough, attractive enough, successful enough, popular enough, loved enough, or happy enough. Have you ever had these thoughts? Sometimes our stories are full of shame and scarcity. We feel unworthy, but don't understand where these feelings come from, what drives them, and how to let them go. Therapy is a process of uncovering underlying issues and finding practical ways to provoke change. I will walk alongside you in your loneliness, challenge, or fear, and help you safely overcome struggles.

During this time of upheaval, including Covid, political conflict, and environmental challenges, many are feeling pessimistic and overwhelmed. Some are depressed and anxious. Such distress may be layered atop previous struggles with low self-esteem, relationship issues, past trauma, and a loud "inner critic". Perhaps you worry about climate disruption or feel despair about our planetary future. Maybe you imagine you're alone in that feeling, or wonder if there’s anything you can do to impact the problem. At times all the above concerns can lead to negative health behaviors in an effort to cope. Fortunately, solutions are available.
