My name is Marianna Birdsong. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Southern California and working with clients statewide via telehealth. I work with the adult population and specialize in anxiety, stress, and life changes, using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy to help my clients make progress and start feeling better.
My approach to therapy varies based on the needs of each client I work with. I believe that therapy should be tailored to the individual's needs. I most frequently use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy.
I can help by creating an outline of specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-specific (SMART) goals. I like to think that setting goals are important aspect of treatment. The goals can be adjusted as needed during the treatment if needed as it is not set in stone.
