Karen Ziccardi, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Karen!

I offer virtual appointments to help clients with a variety of reasons they seek assistance. I specialize in helping people with work-related issues, family relationships, anxiety, and depression.

My focus

I specialize in helping people with work-related issues, family relationships, anxiety, and depression. I also work with clients navigating life transitions, stress management, and personal growth.

My approach

What we focus on grows. Let's focus on the positives. Using Positive Psychology, I will help you overcome all your difficulties and hardships, however challenging they may seem. This is an approach that increases positive emotions, causes optimal functioning, and fosters a sense of meaning that many call life-changing.

My communication style

I help you discuss what brought you here with questioning that has been perfected over many years of practice. You will only disclose what you feel comfortable with, and at the pace that's right for you. You will always leave our sessions feeling like a lot was accomplished, having a good direction forward, and with ideas to consider.

My journey to mental healthcare

This is a job I love and have been doing successfully. Come and let's experience together the great feeling of positive mental health.

My goals for you

You set the issues and goals you want to work on. I am not here to judge you or decide what's right for you, and what you need to accomplish. You are an individual with your own needs and desires. With my questioning, it will become clear to you what direction you want to take our work together.

Our first session

Relax during our sessions and allow me to help guide you to where you want to go to start feeling better about whatever brought you to therapy in the first place. For most of our sessions, I will give you exercises and long-lasting skills to maintain a positive attitude throughout your life.
