Ciana Sage, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Ciana!

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) from Los Angeles who helps teens and adults navigate anxiety, self-doubt, and relationship challenges. My person-centered, trauma-informed approach focuses on building insight, strengthening coping skills, and creating healthier, more connected relationships.

My focus

I work with teens and adults who feel anxious, overthink everything, or just don’t feel like themselves. You might be tired of second-guessing, feeling disconnected, or stuck in the same patterns. Together, we’ll untangle what’s beneath the surface and help you feel more grounded and confident.

My approach

My style is conversational, trauma-informed, and grounded in psychodynamic and solution-focused therapy. I ask thoughtful questions, deeply listen, and help you see things from new angles. I believe change starts with understanding yourself, and I bring a calm, down-to-earth energy to that process.

My communication style

I create a casual, friendly environment that feels safe to speak freely and encourages self-reflection.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a therapist because I’ve always wanted to help people feel seen, understood, and capable of change. I’ve worked with teens, young adults, and families navigating anxiety, self-doubt, trauma, and relationship challenges. What drives me is helping clients untangle their struggles and build confidence, connection, and peace in their lives.

My goals for you

In sessions, I help clients set goals that matter to them, not what I think they “should” do. Together, we define clear, achievable steps to track progress, focus on what feels most important, and create a roadmap for meaningful change in their lives.

Our first session

In our first session, we’ll talk about your story and what brought you to therapy, while also getting to know each other. My goal is to create a comfortable, judgment-free space where you feel heard, understood, and ready to explore the changes you want to make.
