Great to meet you!

I’m Desiree Trinidad, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Los Angeles, offering statewide telehealth services. I specialize in couples therapy, anxiety, depression, stress, divorce recovery, and supporting women in substance use recovery. I use an integrative approach, combining CBT, DBT, Trauma-Informed Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. My goal is to help clients find clarity, resilience, and growth as they navigate life’s challenges.

A bit about my approach to therapy

My therapy approach is collaborative and client-centered. I meet clients where they are, using CBT, DBT, Trauma-Informed, and Client-Centered Therapy to help them reach their goals. I create a safe, non-judgmental space where clients feel heard. Together, we work on understanding patterns, processing emotions, and building resilience. My goal is to empower clients with self-awareness, compassion, and strategies for lasting change.

What you can expect from our first session

Clients working with me gain self-understanding, greater self-compassion, and practical tools for life’s challenges. My goal is for clients to leave each session feeling clearer, grounded, and empowered. They’ll learn strategies tailored to their needs—whether managing stress, processing emotions, or navigating transitions. Over time, clients often develop enhanced self-efficacy, resilience, and the confidence to make positive, lasting changes.
