Juliet McNeil, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Juliet!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Apple Valley, California, and work with clients statewide via telehealth. I work with adults and specialize in stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, relationship issues, and parenting issues. I modify my approach to treatment based on the needs of my clients.

My focus

I have found that my style and approach are a good fit for adults who struggle with daily stressors, parenting issues, relationship issues, depression, and anxiety. I help my clients build personal strengths, coping skills, and interventions so they can overcome daily struggles.

My approach

My approach varies depending on the needs of the client. I utilize a strengths-based approach to build upon the individual skills of each client. This allows clients to build confidence and success, which provides a path forward in treatment.

My communication style

My communication style is supportive, nurturing, and encouraging. I want my clients to feel comfortable and safe talking with me about anything. I tend to be energetic and often use humor.

My journey to mental healthcare

Ever since I was a child, I realized I wanted to work with people. When I got older, I realized I wanted to accomplish this by becoming a therapist. I have always been a supportive, encouraging, and nurturing person. Becoming a therapist allowed me to use these strengths to reach my goal of helping others.

My goals for you

My approach to goal setting is all about starting where the client is and working together to identify goals. The goals must be client-centered based on individual needs.

Our first session

What you can expect from our first session together is for us to spend the majority of the time discussing what is bringing you to treatment. This will help us to begin to identify the areas in your life that you would like to see improved or changed. The first session is about building initial trust and a connection.
