Sandra Lepe, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Sandra!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California. I use a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Strength Based Therapy and Solution Focused approach to help my clients navigate those difficult challenges in their life.

My focus

The clients that I work with are typically ready to address unresolved issues that are causing emotional distress in their life. I use CBT to help those who are struggling with anxiety, depression and having difficulty managing life transitions.

My approach

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is highly effective in treating anxiety and depression. I use CBT to help you gain insight and identify thought patterns and behaviors that increase your anxiety and depressive symptoms. I will help you identify changes necessary for you to improve your overall functioning.

My communication style

I will provide a safe and non-judgmental environment where you can gain insight and process thoughts and feelings that are causing emotional distress. I will also also challenge you to make changes to help you re-gain emotional stability and rebuild confidence in yourself.

My journey to mental healthcare

My life journey guided me into a profession that allows me to help those experiencing challenges in life. I hope my clinical training and professional experience can help you address issues that are causing emotional distress. I have seen my clients flourish and I want you to gain the tools you need to regain control of your life.

My goals for you

During our first session, we will discuss realistic goals so that you can measure your improvement. Throughout treatment, we will review your treatment goals to help you get to a better place.

Our first session

During our first session I will introduce myself and provide some professional background information about me. I will ask that you provide information about what brought them into treatment. During this session we also complete an intake assessment and identify treatment goals and set a schedule for meeting on a regular basis.
