Lynley Giagnocavo, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Lynley!

When you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply unsure of the next step, finding a way forward can feel impossible. Together, we will navigate the obstacles holding you back and uncover practical, meaningful paths to lasting, positive change. Let’s figure it out—together.

My focus

I treat adults dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and major life transitions. Together, we will build coping skills and create a plan that allows you to feel more in control. We will create tools that help you move towards your goals and make progress in areas that are important to you.

My approach

I use a combination of a client centered approach and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to assist you in identifying your unhelpful thoughts and exploring ways to improve your life. I create a warm and empathetic environment for you to feel supported while processing and working through life's challenges.

My communication style

I provide a supportive and non-judgmental space to express yourself and explore your thoughts. When offering feedback, I am empathetic and understanding. My goal is to provide a space where you feel comfortable enough to be your authentic self.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey to becoming a therapist began with my own struggles and positive experiences in therapy. I aim to help others feel less alone and support them during some of their most challenging moments.

My goals for you

I believe that connection and a strong therapeutic relationship are some of the most important aspects of therapy. We will work as a team to create goals and find what works best for you to bring the changes you want into your life. As you grow, we will adapt your goals to allow you to get to where you want to be.

Our first session

During our first session, we will focus on getting to know each other and covering all the basics. You can expect to spend some time sharing about yourself and what brings you into therapy. I also leave room for any questions or concerns, as I know the first session can sometimes be a little scary.
