Caroline Paredes, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Caroline!

So great to have the opportunity to support you in this clinical journey to reach growth in your mental health. I have professional experience servicing youth, adults, and mature senior citizens in a variety of settings with various modalities of treatment (individual, group, family).

My focus

I typically work with adult-aged clients who that maybe struggling with long-term mental health conditions or crisis states. Most times, clients suffer from situational and/or long-term episodes of anxiety, grief, and phase-of-life struggles impacting their daily functioning.

My approach

I tend to apply a strengths-based, solution-focused approach to providing my clients with therapy. I combine cognitive-behavioral theoretical approaches with short-term solution-focused practices to support clients through a variety of challenges in their phases of life struggles.

My communication style

Working with me as your clinician would be a refreshing and fruitful therapeutic experience, as you learn to build connections to improved coping, and gain emotional growth via a therapist who facilitates a tone of empowerment and understanding.

My journey to mental healthcare

My attraction to becoming a therapist was the opportunity to attempt to support human beings through a personal challenge that may impact their thinking and possibly limit their functioning. I thrive on sharing my spirit and building coping skills in clients to support their overall renewal and resilience.

My goals for you

By our 2nd to 3rd session, it is likely to have moved into establishing our goals to create the vision and support you in becoming your agent of change for your improved future.

Our first session

I expect you to initiate perspective on your needs and to attempt to voice perceived limitations within the first couple of sessions when possible. I will be a mindful and present helper and always try my best to take offers into consideration and balance.
