Brittney Mota, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Brittney!

I am so glad you are here! Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or unsure of your next step? You don't have to navigate it alone. Early adulthood can bring anxiety, relationship challenges, family stress, and big life transitions and it's okay if you're still figuring things out.

My focus

I work with young adults navigating anxiety, self-doubt, and life transitions—especially those stuck in overthinking, people-pleasing, or family pressure. Together, we’ll build confidence, set boundaries, and create practical tools for daily life.

My approach

Sessions with me feel collaborative, supportive, and real—I’ll challenge you when needed, but always at your pace. You won’t just vent—we’ll build tools you can actually use between sessions. My approach is client-centered, which means your preferences, needs, values, and goals are always part of the clinical decision-making process.

My communication style

My communication style is collaborative, supportive, and real. I’ll challenge you when helpful, always at your pace. In sessions, you won’t just vent, we’ll build tools you can use in daily life. I center your needs, values, and goals so our work feels meaningful and aligned.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey to becoming a therapist began with a desire to support people through healing and change. Working with trauma survivors and those facing systemic barriers showed me the power of therapy in helping people make sense of their experiences. I’m motivated by seeing clients heal, grow, and reconnect with themselves.

My goals for you

I use a strength-based, client-centered, and trauma-informed approach, focusing on what’s working while supporting you through challenges. I incorporate CBT in a practical, relatable way to help you understand your thoughts, manage anxiety/depression, and build skills you can use in daily life.

Our first session

Your first session is collaborative and supportive. We’ll talk about what brings you to therapy, what you’re hoping for, and begin identifying goals. I’ll ask questions to understand your experiences while making space for you to guide the pace. You’ll leave feeling heard, understood, and with direction.
