Anxiety Therapists in California

I firmly believe that some level of anxiety is a part of life. I don't believe in curing anxiety but I do believe in finding ways of managing anxiety. I teach mindfulness skills and discuss how to address repetitive thought patterns clients struggle with.

I believe therapy is a collaboration. I want to empower my clients and advocate for them throughout the therapeutic process. At the end of the day, I feel that each person is the expert on their own self, and at different seasons in our lives, we all need extra support and validation. I utilize an integrative style of therapy, meaning, I pull from many different schools of thought! Primarily, I use a Psychodynamic approach that is trauma-informed. I also utilize Reality Therapy and Mindfulness techniques. I invite you to reach out to me to schedule a free and casual introduction via phone to see if you believe I would be a good fit as your therapist. I thank you for your interest and I am looking forward to meeting you.

In working with clients experiencing anxiety, I utilize evidence-based interventions such as cognitive-behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, and personalized coping strategies. I collaborate on goal-setting to create practical tools for managing anxiety across different aspects of life. My approach goes beyond traditional roles, addressing academic, emotional, and social aspects to provide a comprehensive and effective support system for individuals dealing with anxiety.

For over 15 years, I dedicated myself to being a clinical and educational psychologist, forging deep connections with countless students and their families. This passion and dedication were recognized when I received the "Outstanding Psychologist of the Year" award from the Los Angeles Association of School Psychologists. With such a rich history in the field, transitioning into private practice was the next logical step. Over the past three years, I've donned multiple hats: a Licensed Educational Psychologist, a Certified Clinical Tele-mental Health Services Provider, and a Certified Clinical ADHD Provider. My zeal for telehealth is undeniable. This digital medium lets me reach out to countless individuals across California, breaking geographical barriers. It's an absolute boon for those grappling with anxiety or depression, allowing them to find solace without stepping out. What makes my approach stand out? It's the unique strategies and hacks I've cultivated. They're not just effective; they're quick and easy. A mere 5-10 minutes of daily practice with these techniques promises significant improvement. Whether it's enhancing focus, bettering sleep habits, or just generally uplifting one's outlook on life, the benefits are manifold. But there's a challenge I must address. The title "Educational Psychologist" sometimes leads to misconceptions. Despite this label, I possess clinical certifications that equip me to offer services equivalent to many clinical psychologists. In fact, my extensive training and hands-on experience often surpass many traditional licenses out there. It's disheartening when the expertise gets overshadowed by a mere title. I prioritize affordable, inclusive mental health support. Sliding scale fees for all and free 15-min consultations for students. Don't let a title define the quality of care you receive. Let's pave a healthier, happier path together.

I employ a personalized and comprehensive approach that addresses both the underlying causes and symptoms of their anxiety. Through thorough assessments and collaborative goal-setting, I utilize evidence-based interventions such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), relaxation techniques, and medication management to help clients develop coping strategies and reduce the impact of anxiety on their daily lives. By fostering a supportive and empowering therapeutic environment, I empower clients to build resilience and regain confidence in their ability to manage anxiety effectively.

Hello, My name is Patricia Jones and I am a licensed Clinical Social worker. My therapeutic style is warm, collaborative, and empowering. My goal is to create a safe, caring, non-judgmental, and strength-based approach for you to process your emotions. As a therapist, I utilize a variety of different therapeutic interventions to customize treatment to meet my clients' needs. I love empowering my clients to leave therapy feeling proud of the work they have done, and confident and capable in their next stage of life. I implement a combination of evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness, Solution Focus, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, to help clients find solutions to issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship stress, grief, and other difficulties. My focus is client-centered care to help clients reach their treatment goals. I am a Strengths-Based individual and family therapist who works with clients who may be struggling with anxiety, substance use, relationship dynamics, or major life transitions. My goal is to help you find peace of mind and to help you start loving yourself again. I am open to helping individuals who really want to help themselves. I truly listen to my clients, openly, honestly, and without judgment. I love to tell them what they need to hear not what they want to hear.

When working with clients experiencing stress or anxiety, my approach is centered around creating a safe, supportive space where they can feel understood and empowered to manage their symptoms. Stress and anxiety can feel overwhelming, whether it’s tied to specific life circumstances, ongoing worries, or deeper-rooted concerns. My goal is to help clients break free from these patterns and regain a sense of calm, clarity, and control over their lives. Together, we can explore both the surface-level stressors and the deeper emotional or cognitive patterns that may be contributing to your anxiety. I also focus on practical strategies to manage their day-to-day symptoms. This may involve mindfulness exercises, grounding techniques, and learning to reframe anxious thoughts to prevent them from spiraling into panic or excessive worry. I also help clients build healthier coping mechanisms and establish boundaries that can reduce stress, while promoting greater balance in their personal and professional lives so that they can navigate the world with a sense of calm, power, and confidence.

I believe that therapy is a space where you can be yourself, and I would love to be a part of helping you to explore your life in a meaningful way. Coming from a creative background, I decided to become a therapist to engage more deeply with the human experience, both intellectually and emotionally.  My work is centered around helping people grow into the fullest version of themselves—one that feels more authentic, more alive, more aware, and more at peace. Above all, I believe that real healing comes from the unique relationship we build together. Therapy works when you feel deeply seen, heard, and cared for, and that is what I strive to provide in every session. Together, we will work to explore your past, understand how it shapes your present and current relationships, and create a path toward a more meaningful and fulfilling now and future. My approach is rooted in empathy, curiosity, and respect, and I welcome clients from all walks of life. I also am LGBTQIA+ affirmative, culturally-sensitive, and sex-positive, so please bring yourself however you are.

Anxiety is one of the most common diagnoses. I have worked with many patients with anxiety or panic. I have also worked with incarcerated individuals with the same diagnosis. Regardless to the situation, there are ways to help manage the symptoms and see change. 

My name is Dr. Bryant and I am so excited to meet ya! I treat people virtually in the state of California. I also offer both in person and virtual services in the state of Tennessee. I created As You Are Therapy because therapy can be terrifying! I developed my practice with that in mind- so I could be different. As You Are was created with autonomy in mind. Come sit on my couch (IRL or Virtually) and be as authentically you as you want (literally without judgement). I want you to walk in, feel welcomed, and leave feeling your best. My therapeutic approach matches your vibe and we will build a relationship where comfort and acceptance are priority. Healing is a progression and I cannot wait to see you, as you are!  

Anxiety is about future fears. Your thoughts start the process that make you feel, then behave with panic. We will help you look at your thoughts which cause your discomfort. We offer simple skills that will diminish this discomfort for a more relaxed feeling in any situation.

I provide a safe and non judgmental environment. Most people say that I make them feel comfortable pretty quickly. I help each person to be curious and explore the root cause(s) and then discuss ways to decrease the anxiety. I also will also discuss and suggest, from the start, tools for you to try.

Julianne is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who also has a master of education in counseling (MSEd). Julianne is licensed in NY and CA, because she has been lucky enough to grow up in NY and live, for many years, in California. Julianne has worked as a counselor/therapist for over 20 years. Julianne works mostly with young adults-adults experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship issues and those experiencing life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) can help to uncover the underlying causes of your worries and fears by looking at situations in a new, less frightening way. With CBT, you're able to adjust the thoughts that directly influence your emotions and behavior. This adjustment process is referred to as cognitive reconstructing, which happens through different CBT techniques. Most people with clearly defined behavioral and emotional concerns tend to reap the benefits of CBT. In addition, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) Therapy has proven highly effective in treating anxiety and anxiety disorders. During an EMDR session, you will be guided through a series of eye movements or other types of bilateral stimulation while focusing on a specific traumatic memory or anxiety-provoking situation. This helps to reprocess the negative emotions and beliefs associated with the memory or situation, leading to a reduction in anxiety symptoms.

Many people look for something beyond the question, “How does that make you feel?” I hope my sessions can not only act as a sounding board, but also provide a safe space to unload, explore and develop solutions to life’s problems. While my approach to therapy is empathic and compassionate, it is also direct and directive. My goal is to help clients identify the root of potential issues and work collaboratively to construct a solution. My intention is to provide support, problem-solving skills, practical tools and coping strategies to help overcome negative patterns.
