Cianna Edge, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Cianna!

My approach to therapy is person-centered and customized to your direct struggles. I work mostly with depression and anxiety, helping you build stronger coping mechanisms for the challenges you face.

My focus

I work mostly with depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, and self-harming behaviors. I also have experience working with family conflict, couples counseling, marital conflict and growth, and premarital counseling.

My approach

I use Person-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, partnered with a few others, to provide the best insight and direction. These approaches help you understand your patterns and develop practical tools for lasting change.

My communication style

I take a relaxed and client-led approach, matching the energy you bring each day. Some sessions might be more uplifting, others more laid back. I want you to always feel you can express your emotional needs to me during our time together.

My journey to mental healthcare

I grew up in a difficult household with a lot to overcome. What drives me most is a desire to help others in ways I was never helped, and be a support system and sounding board for people who do not have one.

My goals for you

I encourage you to think of what you'd like your life to look like when therapy is over. This helps us understand your long-term goals, then we work on short-term objectives to achieve them. This often leads to feeling more in control of your therapy process.

Our first session

In our first session, I learn more about you by asking what brought you to therapy and your goals and expectations for our work together. It's a very laid-back approach. I also give you time to ask any questions to ease any nerves about starting this journey.
