Hi my name is Marielena Gonzalez. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in California. I have worked in the Mental Health field since 2016. I help adolescents and adult clients experiencing symptoms of depression, anxiety, family issues, grief and women's issues. I work with my clients via telehealth. I assist my clients in identifying triggers/uncomfortable emotion to help them build their toolbox of coping skills.
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then I will provide active listening to understand my client’s concerns. Moreover, I dive into the specific challenges my clients are facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
My approach is to build rapport with my clients to help them feel comfortable in therapy. I provide my client’s with great active listening skills and empathy. I create a safe environment for my clients to be able to express themselves without being judged. I hope to work with you soon!
