Cigna Therapists in California

I am Vicki Stokes, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker dedicated to creating a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore life’s challenges and build on your inherent strengths. My approach is warm and collaborative, utilizing evidence-based therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) to help you navigate anxiety, burnout, or major life transitions. Whether you're feeling stuck or seeking personal growth, I'm here to support you in finding clarity and lasting change. Let’s connect to see if we're a good fit.

I'm Brandon! Nice to meet you. I am happy you have found me here on your journey of health and recovery. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Military Veteran. I was an Intelligence Analyst for the Navy for 6 years before becoming a Licensed Social Worker, which has had me in the field for over 10 years. I can help by developing a trusting relationship to guide and navigate your reasons for therapy.

Welcome! You’ve found my page and I’m really glad you’re here. Reaching out for support can feel overwhelming, so the fact that you’re even browsing profiles says something important: you’re ready for something to shift. I work with individuals who are navigating anxiety, relationship stress, low self-esteem, life transitions, or simply feeling stuck. My style is warm, collaborative, and practical. We’ll explore what’s been weighing on you, make sense of patterns that aren’t serving you, and build real tools to help you feel more grounded and confident. I blend evidence-based approaches like CBT and DBT with a compassionate, whole-person perspective—so you feel supported and empowered, not judged. If you’re looking for a therapist who will meet you with empathy, honesty, and actionable guidance, you’re in the right place. I’d be honored to walk alongside you.

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I work with adults and children who feel overwhelmed, emotionally worn down, or disconnected from themselves. Many people I meet are doing everything they can to keep going—showing up for work or school, caring for others, and managing daily responsibilities—while quietly carrying, or sometimes openly expressing, anxiety, anger, sadness, or a deep sense of exhaustion inside. At times, life no longer feels familiar. Reactions may feel bigger than expected. It can be hard to recognize yourself or understand why things feel so difficult. As a trauma-informed therapist, I understand that these experiences are not signs of weakness. My work is grounded in the belief that healing happens when people feel safe, understood, and supported at their own pace. I offer a calm, steady presence and a space where adults and children can begin to feel more regulated, more connected, and more like themselves again. Therapy is not about pushing through or forcing change. It is about slowing down, listening to what the mind and body are holding, and gently creating space for relief, clarity, and growth. My role is to walk alongside you—helping you make sense of what you’re experiencing, restore a sense of inner stability, and reconnect with the deeper “heart” of who you are: the part that holds resilience, self-compassion, strength, and the capacity for joy, even when it doesn’t feel that way yet.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist providing telehealth services to children, adolescents, and adults across California.

My education and clinical training provided a strong foundation in evidence based practices, lifespan development, and relational dynamics, which continue to guide the way I support my clients. I work with individuals and families navigating anxiety, emotional overwhelm, life transitions, and relationship stress. I support children and adolescents in strengthening emotional regulation and coping skills, while helping adults manage stress, burnout, and personal growth with greater confidence and clarity.

Hello, my name is Elena, which means “shining light.” I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and have been practicing since 2015, when I earned my Master’s in Social Work. Throughout my career, I have worked in a wide range of settings, including hospitals, mental health clinics, domestic violence shelters, foster care, addiction treatment centers, and jails. These diverse experiences have helped me discover what I value most in my work: making a meaningful difference in the lives of the people I serve. Whether I am supporting someone through depression, helping them manage anxiety, processing long-held trauma, or simply offering a safe space to be heard, I find deep fulfillment in walking alongside others on their healing journey. True to the meaning of my name, I strive to be a source of hope and light for those I meet, believing that even small moments of connection can create lasting change.

Starting therapy can feel empowering, confusing, or even intimidating—and it’s worth taking a moment to recognize the courage it takes to take this first step toward caring for your mental health. I strive to create a safe, supportive, and welcoming environment where you can explore challenges related to anxiety, depression, self-care, and more. My goal is to help you strengthen communication and boundaries with yourself and others so that you can improve your quality of life and move toward the future you envision. Therapy is not just about overcoming obstacles—it’s also about personal growth. Together, we’ll clarify your goals and identify strategies to help you move toward them, whether that means change over the next month, six months, or a year. You’ll leave our sessions with practical insights and “next steps” you can put into action right away. I believe life’s purpose isn’t simply to be happy, but to find meaning—and within that meaning, joy emerges. While the journey isn’t always easy, it can be transformative. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Certified Addictions Professional, Internationally Certified Drug Counselor, and Behavior Analyst.

Most importantly, I bring a relaxed, compassionate, and trustworthy presence, fostering a therapeutic relationship where you feel safe and supported.

I consider myself a relational and systems-based therapist. That means that I value discussing relationships and the impact of them on you. I also seek to understand my client as a whole person and not just your symptoms. At the heart of my work is the belief that the therapeutic relationship itself is meaningful and often mirrors patterns that show up outside the therapy room. Together, we will explore these dynamics with curiosity and compassion and without judgment. I deeply value your goals and concerns, and I also believe therapy is a space where thoughtful, honest feedback can be both empowering and healing. Above all, my goal is for therapy to feel collaborative and supportive.

Hello! Is something holding you back from living life to your fullest potential? Feeling stuck? Anxious? Experiencing a difficult life transition? Depressed and unable to thrive in your current life situation? As a licensed professional clinical counselor and board certified somatic psychotherapist, I will address your concerns with an integrated approach that honors the sacredness of your body, mind & spirit. The body is the carrier of all of our lived experiences, and there is so much wisdom within each of us. I bring a unique perspective of nervous system functioning through Chi for Two® a mindful embodiment method. Scientist Stephen Porges created polyvagal theory. Polyvagal theory helps us recognize anxiety and depression as symptoms of trauma. When we experience trauma, our bodies create nervous system patterning that gets passed down over generations. When our ancestors experienced trauma, their bodies created nervous system patterning that got passed down to us. Chi for Two partner practices help us heal multi-generational trauma. I am interested in tapping into the internal resources you already possess, while providing you with accessible skills to support your journey towards having a life worth living become a reality.

My work is informed by more than 60 years of life experience, both professional and personal, which brings depth, perspective, and authenticity to the therapeutic process. After several careers and at age 50—supported by ten years of sobriety—I felt called to create a more fulfilling and intentional life.

I have found through many of those experiences that emotional pain, feeling alone, being scared to live and having anxiety or depression is common and universal. However, I also know that the desire to live a deeper, peaceful and meaningful life can also be a driving force. I too have done much of that internal work and reflection in my life. I have learned that it is OK to be just me, no longer fearing to live the life that I have earned and deserve. I would love the same for you.
