Kaylee Velo, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Kaylee!

I work with children to young adults utilizing Cognitive behavioral therapy, play therapy, person-centered, and solution-focused therapy techniques in my practice to help my clients reach their goals.

My focus

I have experience working with clients of all ages. I have experience working with clients who present with anxiety, depression, school concerns, ADHD, attachment issues, and trauma. Although I am interested in helping clients with all kinds of concerns.

My approach

I am flexible and tailor my approach to each client's specific needs, utilizing techniques such as Cognitive behavioral therapy, play therapy, person-centered, and solution-focused. I create a safe, trusting space for clients and empower them to develop effective coping strategies and make lasting changes.

My communication style

I follow my client's lead on what may work best for them, whether that is more psycho-education, a listening ear, guiding decision-making, empowering, a mixture, or any other technique that fits the needs of each client. If needed, this style can be adjusted to ensure that my clients receive the treatment that fits their needs.

My journey to mental healthcare

I entered this field because I believe in the power of connection and the resilience people carry within themselves. I'm committed to walking alongside my clients as they navigate challenges and discover their own strengths.

My goals for you

I believe in creating goals that come from the client. I help my client formulate their goals together to ensure that they meet their specific wants and needs. I value my clients' expertise in their own lives and believe that they possess the ability to make meaningful changes.

Our first session

In our first session, we'll focus on getting to know each other and understanding what brings you to therapy. I'll ask about your concerns and what you hope to achieve. Together, we'll begin to outline a path forward that feels right for you.
