Kaitlyn Oviedo, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Kaitlyn!

I work with individuals and couples navigating life's challenges. Through therapy, I help clients find clarity, build healthier patterns, and develop skills to manage stress and strengthen relationships.

My focus

I have found that my approach most aligns with adults who may struggle with different aspects of life. This may include mood disorders (depression and bipolar disorder), anxiety, trauma-related disorders, and substance abuse.

My approach

I am trained in evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectic Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). These approaches help identify unhelpful thoughts, how they connect to our emotions and behaviors, and how to cope with life stressors.

My communication style

My communication style is calm and collaborative. I want clients to feel open to talking to me about all of life's difficulties and feel heard throughout sessions.

My journey to mental healthcare

As many therapists, I wanted to help others. Through my own mental health journey, I have been able to heal and find a healthier perspective on life, which I hope to extend to others.

My goals for you

I approach setting goals as a team approach. I want us both to understand what the goal of therapy is and how we can work together to meet that goal. This includes building trust, getting comfortable with one another, and defining specific goals to work towards together.

Our first session

During a first session, clients can expect to spend time getting to know one another. I will be asking questions regarding recent stressors and what you may be seeking through therapy. The first session is focused on building a connection and asking questions to know how I can best be a support.
