(she/her)
Hello, my name is Laura Preciado, I am a bilingual, Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW #88476) based in Los Angeles, California. providing telehealth services. I endorse a client-centered approach and meeting my clients where they are in their life journey. Every individual is unique and has his/her/their own story to tell, thus I strive to provide a safe and non-judgmental setting for all of my clients. Through a collaborative therapeutic process, I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Strengths Based Approach, Problem-Solving and Mindfulness to help my clients reach their goals.
During our first session, I would like to spend time getting to know you, learn about the reasons that brought you to therapy, review symptoms that may be affecting your day-to-day life, and allow you to share any other information that you would like to share. Our first session is about establishing that connection and helping you feel comfortable to begin this journey.
I enjoy helping others, whether it was volunteering in my community, or being a trusted friend. I enjoy seeing individuals become the best version of themselves.
I have learned that my style and approach are a good fit for adults who may be experiencing difficulty coping with life transitions, grief/loss, work-related stress, and/or complex relationships. These difficulties often manifest in depressive and/or anxiety symptoms which can impact quality of life. I strive to help my clients through these difficult transitions by helping develop healthy coping tools that can assist with improving overall quality and more positive outlook on life.
