Konstance Kirby, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Konstance!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 10 years of experience in a wide variety of settings. Due to my broad background, my clients often come to me because of issues relating to family conflict, work/life balance, anxiety, depression, stress management, low self-esteem, and emotional/psychological abuse.

My focus

My style and approach are a good fit for individuals who want to learn how to counter negative thoughts, regulate emotions, tolerate distress, communicate effectively, and mindfully stay present. My ideal client wants to learn these skills to manifest their ideal life and be the best version of themselves.

My approach

I utilize evidence-based interventions including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Mindfulness, Motivational Interviewing, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. I tailor the therapeutic approach to what best serves each individual.

My communication style

My communication style is personable, accommodating, and clear. I want my clients to have a genuine and sincere feeling during the session, and I pride myself on offering a safe space for clients to do so.

My journey to mental healthcare

I decided to become a therapist because I believe the tools I obtained from sports helped me become the person I am today. I want to help others in the same way: boosting mood, reducing depression and stress, increasing self-confidence, and improving leadership skills. I enjoy helping others become the best versions of themselves.

My goals for you

My approach to goal setting is all about what you want and need from therapy. What are your challenges, opportunities, and aspirations? How do you measure success and satisfaction? We will work together to set goals and track your progress.

Our first session

In our first session, you will spend time talking about specific things in your life, including your background, history, symptoms, relationships, health, and goals. I will ask some questions, and you will have space to share whatever will help us create a clear picture of what you want to accomplish through therapy.
