Cathy Asciutto, LCP — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Cathy!

I work with individual adults who are navigating anxiety, stress, mood challenges, and relationship concerns. My goal is to create a space where you can explore what's affecting you and find ways to move forward.

My focus

I work with people experiencing anxiety, stress, mood difficulties, or relationship problems. I'm comfortable treating generalized anxiety, social phobia, panic, post-traumatic stress, depression, and bipolar concerns. Some clients also navigate ADHD or personality patterns.

My approach

I blend humanistic and cognitive behavioral approaches, focusing on how you see yourself and how your thoughts shape your experiences. Understanding who you are and how you think about events, others, and yourself helps us build effective coping strategies.

My communication style

I provide a supportive environment where you can face life's challenges. I listen deeply and ask questions to understand your perspective. My style is direct—I may offer education, strategies, and tools to support your journey.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a therapist because I love hearing people's stories and have a natural ability to empathize. Witnessing someone grow or heal is deeply rewarding and humbling. I feel honored to be trusted with your most personal thoughts.

My goals for you

We'll discuss why you're seeking therapy and what you hope to achieve, then explore strategies to reach those goals. I may suggest homework assignments. Treatment is always tailored to you as a unique individual.

Our first session

We'll review confidentiality and its limits. I'll ask questions to understand your concerns, symptoms, history, and goals. By the end, I'll provide a diagnosis and outline how we might address your needs so you can decide whether to proceed.
