Great to meet you!

Hello, I’m Kishla Preston, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing telehealth therapy to clients in California, Georgia, Florida, and Alabama. With over 11 years of experience, I help adults navigate anxiety, burnout, life transitions, and relationship stress. My approach is warm, supportive, and practical, using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) along with tools from DBT and Solution-Focused Therapy. Together we will work to understand patterns that may be keeping you stuck and build skills that support meaningful change. I strive to create a safe, trusting space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered in your healing journey.

My approach to therapy

I help adults manage anxiety, burnout, life transitions, and relationship stress. Using CBT, DBT skills, and practical coping strategies, we work together to understand patterns that may be keeping you stuck and develop healthier ways to move forward. My approach is warm, supportive, and focused on meaningful, lasting change.

What you can expect from me

Starting therapy can feel like a big step, especially if it’s your first time meeting with a therapist. Many people feel nervous or unsure about what the process will be like. My goal is to make your first session feel comfortable, supportive, and helpful.
