Anxiety Therapists in California

A common intervention used with clients experiencing anxiety is CBT (see below). I typically use a combination of CBT and developing new coping strategies, that way the client is getting both short-term and long-term relief.

Hello! I'm Lucy Romo, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing remote counseling services to residents of California, Nevada, and Texas. I earned my Master of Social Work degree from California State University, Long Beach, and hold clinical licenses in CA, NV, and TX. 

Clients with anxiety are not all the same. No two person experience symptoms in the same way for the same reason. There is no one-sized fits all approach. I tailor everything I do with folks to truly understand the origin of their anxiety. Without doing this it can’t actually get better. Sometimes I work with my group practice partner to teach emotional regulation skills and sometimes we help patients connect with a prescriber if indicated. 

Welcome. I’m Dr. Gatta but if we work together please call me David. Good therapy is all about a trusting relationship. Over the course of my 13 year career I have had the privilege of working with a diverse group of people from college age students to senior citizens. My passion is helping people understand who they are, where they would like to go in life and what might be preventing those processes. From this standpoint my treatment philosophy is to address underlying causes rather than just symptoms. Doing so is the only way of achieving lasting substantive change. In order to do that I use a holistic approach, meaning I see each individual as a sum of their total life experiences together with their sociocultural contexts.  I have extensive experience working with family of origin issues, trauma, substance abuse, depression and life transitions (including grief and loss). My background is in clinical psychology where my doctoral dissertation explored dreaming as a theoretical form of thinking (cognition). I also have a background in neuroscience and the humanities . I have taught courses on trauma and recovery, addiction, grief and psychopathology. 

With anxiety, I take a comprehensive approach that might include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness techniques, and sometimes medication. We focus on understanding the root causes of your anxiety, recognizing triggers, and building effective coping strategies to reduce its impact on your daily life.

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.
