Laura Preciado, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Laura!

I am a bilingual therapist who works with adults and specializes in depression, anxiety, stress, and difficult life transitions, utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Strength-Based approach, Problem-Solving, and Mindfulness to help my clients through their healing journey.

My focus

I have learned that my style and approach are a good fit for adults who may be experiencing difficulty coping with life transitions, grief/loss, work-related stress, and/or complex relationships. These difficulties often manifest in depressive and/or anxiety symptoms, which can impact quality of life.

My approach

I endorse a client-centered approach and meet my clients where they are at in their life journey. Every individual is unique and has his/her own story to tell. I often utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a Strength-Based approach, Problem-Solving, and Mindfulness to help my clients reach their goals.

My communication style

Providing a safe, non-judgmental environment for my clients is one of my top priorities. My communication style is calm and easy-going. I want to ensure that my clients feel comfortable enough to allow themselves to be vulnerable without being judged.

My journey to mental healthcare

Growing up, I always knew that I wanted to be in a position where I could help others. Becoming a therapist has allowed me to accomplish that goal and desire to help others. I enjoy being able to help others feel heard and understood.

My goals for you

My approach to goal setting is meeting my clients where they are in their life journey while building rapport and trust, in order to work together to identify goals that will assist them through their healing journey. Once goals have been identified, we track progress, identify potential barriers, and find ways to overcome them.

Our first session

During our first session, I would like to spend time getting to know you, learn about the reasons that brought you to therapy, review symptoms that may be affecting your day-to-day life, and allow you to share any other information that you would like to share.
