Labrini Gilpin, LPCC — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Labrini!

I want you to feel comfortable enough to let me know what you need in sessions so I can adopt therapeutic modules that best serve you, the way your mind works, and how you respond to information. I'll ask questions about your learning style, communication style, and goals so I can tailor sessions specifically to you.

My focus

I love working with adults, no matter what stage of life you're in. Whether it's your personal life, family life, or career, different developmental stages and changes may cause feelings of disequilibrium. I believe that with my passion and your motivation to change, we can create a new beginning.

My approach

I use different treatment methods depending on your reason for therapy, needs, experiences, and preferences. I may combine these methods as we work together, viewing challenges through different lenses. My goal is to use a strength-based approach to help you harness your inner power to make difficult decisions and changes.

My communication style

Many clients have mentioned that I'm a good listener, that I challenge them in a compassionate and nonjudgmental way, and that I address barriers that may get in the way of reaching your goals. I'm always open to feedback so we can adjust your treatment plan as needed. My goal is to alleviate symptoms that will improve your quality of life.

My journey to mental healthcare

Life is already difficult and often presents surprises we cannot control. My passion is to soften the challenges of life, alleviate stressors, and support you in establishing a better quality of life.

My goals for you

I listen to your concerns and ask what you hope to gain with therapy. My hope is for you to achieve your goals through realistic, small, actionable steps. As you progress, I'll encourage you to take more challenging steps toward your recovery.

Our first session

During the first session, I want to get to know you as a person, understand what your therapeutic needs are, discuss any preferences in therapy, and establish a positive therapeutic relationship.
