Welcome! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Los Angeles and Fresno California. I earned my Master of Social Work from the University of Southern California and have been practicing for the past 8 years. I work with adults and older adults navigating anxiety, depression, gender dysphoria, life transitions, and identity-related stressors. Much of my clinical experience has centered on supporting underserved communities of color within correctional facilities, psychiatric hospitals, and community mental health settings. I am especially passionate about working with LGBTQ+ individuals, including queer and trans people of color, and have experience facilitating LGBTQ+ support groups as well as collaborating within gender-affirming care teams. My approach is grounded in cultural humility, authenticity, and creating a space where clients feel seen, affirmed, and empowered in their healing journey. I strive to provide a compassionate, nonjudgmental environment where clients can explore their experiences, strengthen coping skills, and reconnect with their sense of self and community.

I am a straight-forward but empathic therapist, who also appreciates the same from her clients. I also believe in the social work mission of starting where the client is, so sessions are based upon that analogy. I have experience in many areas, including hospital, foster care, group homes, forensics, Veterans, home health, etc. I received my Masters of Social Science Administration from Case Western Reserve Univerity, and my Doctorate of Psychology from California Southern University. Although I have a doctorate degree, my scope of practice does not fall under psychological testing, pharmacological practices, nor community services. I only do individual therapy so if you need case management (such as letters), family/couples therapy, psychologicial testing, or medication, please refer to those licensed or practicing in those areas.

I help couples and individuals to navigate turbulent times to find their innate vitality and loving relationships. As a couples therapist, I can help you move beyond patterns of arguing and conflict. You will learn how to communicate and express yourself and be heard and received. I also help couples who are striving to find a path to either stay together or move in. I also guide individuals with financial and/or time constraints to move towards a life balancing family, work and personal passion. I have decades of experience helping people achieve a healthy, happy long life filled with joy and connection. When we work together, I listen to your story. I bring decades of experience, but you are the expert on your own life. I’ll do a deep dive to understand how your symptoms affect you. My role isn’t to diagnose or label you. Instead, I offer invitations to explore new perspectives, try different approaches, and gently challenge the patterns holding you back. I feel confident about my abilities to help you to move forward into the life you have always desired. Therapy can be a daunting experience. I appreciate your courage in pursuing help.

Hi, welcome! I am Jennifer Soriano. I’m a bilingual (English/Spanish) Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California. I work with children, adolescents, and adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma-related symptoms, and a range of emotional or relationship challenges. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, emotionally stuck, or unsure how to manage daily stressors, transitions, or expectations in their personal, academic, or professional lives. I strive to create a warm, supportive, and culturally responsive therapeutic space where clients feel safe, understood, and respected. I believe therapy is most effective when clients feel empowered and actively involved in their own growth. In our work together, I offer practical, evidence-based tools to help strengthen emotional regulation, increase self-awareness, build confidence, and improve day-to-day functioning and relationships. My therapeutic approach is collaborative, strengths-based, and tailored to each client’s unique developmental stage, background, and cultural identity. I recognize the impact of life experiences, family systems, and culture on emotional well-being, and I integrate these perspectives into treatment. My goal is to support clients in developing healthier coping strategies, fostering resilience, and creating meaningful, lasting change at a pace that feels comfortable and sustainable for them.

Hello, I’m a licensed clinical social worker with over a decade of experience supporting individuals through unexpected and challenging life transitions. I work with adults who may be feeling overwhelmed by uncertainty, anxiety, grief, or the emotional impact of ongoing stress. My background includes working with individuals and families impacted by serious health conditions, including cancer and other chronic or life-altering illnesses, in both hospital and outpatient settings. I also support caregivers and professionals who are balancing high levels of responsibility while trying to care for themselves and others. Whether you are navigating a health diagnosis, supporting a loved one, managing workplace stress, or facing uncertainty about the future, you don’t have to have everything figured out before starting therapy. It’s completely okay if you’re unsure what you’re feeling or what you’d like to change. I offer a supportive, collaborative space where we can slow down, make sense of what you’re experiencing, and explore what matters most to you.

Mr. Briceño is a therapist who values depth, presence, and intentionality in his work. He was drawn to this field through a desire to better understand himself and support his immediate family through difficult experiences, and that curiosity continues to guide how he practices today. His professional journey has included working with individuals across the lifespan and life circumstances from ages 4-106. This has shaped his respect for resilience and the complexity of human experience. Those experiences reinforced his belief that therapy is most effective when it is grounded in empathy, reflection, and genuine human connection. He approaches this work thoughtfully and with care. Is intentional about how he shows up with clients, prioritizing presence and understanding over labels or quick solutions. He values honest conversation, self-awareness, and creating spaces for people to explore their experiences in a way that feels grounded and respectful. At his core, therapy is about understanding—understanding ourselves, our patterns, and what matters most to us. Supporting that process, and witnessing growth that comes from clarity and insight, is what continues to motivate him in this work.

Hi, I’m Lainie, a licensed clinical social worker. You may notice that certain experiences continue to show up in your body, emotions, or reactions, even when you try to respond differently. This can affect how you handle stress, how close you feel to others, or how anxious you feel day to day. I work with adults who feel worn down by these patterns and want to feel less burdened by past experiences of trauma. I’m trained in EMDR, a therapy that helps reduce how strongly the past shows up in the present, so it doesn’t keep shaping your reactions in the same ways. Rather than only talking through experiences, EMDR focuses on helping your mind and body respond differently, which can bring relief that feels more lasting.

I have a specialization working with couples, families and individuals; as well as substance abuse/chemical dependency and addiction treatment (porn, sex & gambling). In many cases the depressed and anxious client is self medicating in some way to alter underlying feelings of depression, anxiety and intimacy/attachment issues. I use Somatic Experiencing, a very effective treatment for trauma/PTSD symptoms, helping the body and mind regulate itself. Clients in relationships with loved ones addicted or abusing substances can benefit from therapy to learn how to take care of themselves so as to limit the toxicity of the proximity I utilize CBT, psychodynamic, solution focused and the John Gottman strategies. Clients learn that thoughts create feelings, mood then affect. With couples and families my job is to provide a safe place where effective communication can develop, listening and most importantly the ability to respond to each other rather than react/ conflict resolution. I treat compulsive sexual behaviors, chemical dependency, anger management & PTSD.

I create a warm, supportive space for men and women to uncover what needs to change and to create a path to where they want to be. Through virtual one-on-one therapy, I empower individuals to navigate challenges, heal past wounds, and build confidence and meaningful, fulfilling relationships.

My work centers queer/trans, BIPOC, chronically ill or disabled, and other multiply marginalized clients navigating individual, interpersonal, and intergenerational trauma shaped by systemic violence and survival within inequitable conditions. I am deeply inspired by Black feminist sci-fi writer Octavia E. Butler, whose storytelling shaped my belief that healing is a practice of imagining and building ways of living beyond forces that dominate, dehumanize, and disconnect, such as white supremacy, patriarchy, and capitalism. My therapeutic approach is relational and depth-oriented, influenced by abolition and disability justice, which reject punitive mindsets, value every body, and attend to how systemic forces shape our internal worlds, relationships and sense of self. I seek to support this work by gently uncovering coping strategies that were once necessary for survival but may no longer align with who you are becoming or how you want to relate to yourself and others. This approach resonates with people seeking honest self-reflection, emotional accountability, ongoing exploration and deeper self-understanding.

I’ve studied and practiced many methods. I like to be eclectic and work with you with what’s needed to get you back on track and feeling your best. I was a teacher for many years, then went for my masters in social work. Life has many twists and turns. Sometimes we can feel off balance or are suffering from depression or anxiety. We’ve all had our ups and downs and getting back on track and feeling our best is a goal I enjoy helping people achieve to live the life they want.
