Charlene Mahabali, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Charlene!

I use CBT during sessions. I like to help clients decrease their anxiety and depression.

My focus

I would like to work with those 18 and over who are having difficulty with life stressors, anxiety, and depression.

My approach

The approach I use when providing therapy is CBT and Solution-Focused.

My communication style

I use a warm, welcoming tone. I like to meet the client where they are. I would like to work with the client to help them achieve their goals.

My journey to mental healthcare

I am a person who likes to help others. I always want people to be the better version of themselves. What makes me come back to this job is helping clients who want to be helped, to hear what works for them and what doesn't work for them, to give them coping skills to help in their everyday life.

My goals for you

I meet the client where they are. I would like to work collaboratively with the client to create goals and modify them as needed.

Our first session

The client should expect me to ask why they are seeking services at this time and for me to ask background questions.
