Mabel Aiello, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Mabel!

I am a Bilingual (English/Spanish) Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who fosters and enhances my clients’ strengths for a deeper and more meaningful healing process. I am here to work on what you need to heal, enhance, or support.

My focus

I work with high school-age youth and young adults facing depression, anxiety, PTSD, life transitions, social pressures, trauma, and grief. I also connect easily with adults navigating life transitions, relational problems, depression, stress, parenthood, and anxiety.

My approach

My approach to therapy varies based on the needs of my clients. I am certified and most frequently use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, as this helps me and my clients build an understanding of how thoughts, emotions, and actions affect self-awareness, moderate thinking, and deal rationally with behaviors and thought processes.

My communication style

My communication style is calm, understanding, non-judgmental, and personable. It is very important to me that you feel comfortable talking to me so we can build positive rapport. I create a safe space for you to feel heard and accepted.

My journey to mental healthcare

My personality has always led me to be the peacemaker and one who creates bridges between opposites. I have always been drawn to helping others in difficult times. Seeing how my clients work through very difficult things fills me with joy.

My goals for you

In goal setting, I will explore what you want to accomplish and how you want me to assist you. My approach is that you carry the map and I am the driver that gets you to your destination. I guide you by setting specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and timely goals.

Our first session

The first session is different than the rest. My goal is to get to know you, understand where you are emotionally, and ask questions to better understand what has affected your well-being. This session is crucial in building connection and helps me understand where we should start.
