Jillian Ogata, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Jillian!

My practice is centered around providing a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental space for you to openly share and process what is most important to you.

My focus

I specialize in working with individuals struggling with perfectionism, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship and family issues, and depression. My focus is on helping you manage anxiety, panic attacks, trauma, and PTSD.

My approach

Our work together will support you to develop a deeper understanding of your life, reconnect with your inner strengths and values, and find greater self-acceptance. I utilize an eclectic approach, drawing from EMDR, CBT, EFT, Mindfulness, Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy, and ACT.

My communication style

In our sessions, I create an atmosphere of warmth, empathy, and collaboration. My style is characterized by active listening, reflecting your thoughts and feelings back for clarity, and asking thoughtful questions to deepen our exploration. I aim to be direct yet gentle, offering insights and feedback with care.

My journey to mental healthcare

My passion for supporting individuals in their mental health and well-being has been solidified through my clinical experience and dedication to this work.

My goals for you

My goal is to empower you with greater self-understanding, acceptance, and the tools to improve your life and relationships. I aim to help you reconnect with your inner strengths, find more fulfillment, and develop new skills to better manage life's challenges.

Our first session

In our first session, we will focus on understanding what brings you to therapy and clarifying your goals. I will provide a supportive, non-judgmental environment for you to share your story, and we will begin developing a plan to help you move forward in a positive direction.
