Hi! I am Remya Jacob, licensed clinical social worker in the state of California with experience of working as a medical social worker in various healthcare settings including memory care, clinics and hospice. My work focuses on helping and supporting individuals with different coping skills, prevent burnout and reducing stress. I like to incorporate Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy techniques, Mindfulness, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy during sessions.
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan and decide on short and long term goals for us to work through in follow-up sessions. I would like to create a comfortable environment for my clients so they can be their true self.
My treatment methods will be focusing on client-centered approaches, cognitive-behavioral, motivational interviewing, mindfulness, strength-based therapy and other interventions as needed. I also have experience in grief and bereavement.
My biggest strengths are active listening, non-judgemental, communication, patience, confidence, respectful, trustful, observant, accepting, self-aware, empathetic and having an appreciation for diversity.
Older adults and families who may have difficulty with the transitions of aging to manage their emotions, find new sources of enjoyment and meaning, and find new support systems.

It was a good experience with Remya as my therapist. I was able to share all my thoughts during our sessions. She also ensured that she understood what I am going through and suggested ways to cope with my current situation.

Remya is a wonderful therapist. She is easy to talk to, and is a gentle and warm human being. She provides empathy and understanding while also providing direct solutions. She provides a safe space without judgment despite things I have done that can be easily judged by others. I hope she will continue to provide her services because I plan to continue talking to her as long as she allows!
