Lorena Jackson, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Lorena!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) providing telehealth across California for adults and older adults. I specialize in depression, trauma, grief, life transitions, and cultural stress, using a holistic framework that blends evidence-based methods with integrative wellness practices to support lasting healing.

My focus

I work with adults and older adults navigating life stressors, transitions, trauma, grief, and cultural stress. These experiences often present as anxiety, depression, adjustment-related concerns, prolonged grief, or PTSD.

My approach

Rather than reducing your experience to a label, I walk alongside you to find the root cause. My approach is eclectic and tailored to you, blending evidence-based methods with integrative wellness to support healing of the whole person, so you can release what's holding you back and step into new possibilities.

My communication style

My communication style is calm, flexible, and personable. I aim to create a safe, grounding space where you feel comfortable sharing openly. I listen without judgment and honor each client’s unique journey.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey to becoming a therapist comes from my cultural upbringing, witnessing mental health stigma, and wanting to offer the support many in my community lacked. I’m driven by helping others reshape their stories, reminding them they don’t have to become their wounds; they can bloom within and rise beyond.

My goals for you

My approach to goal setting is collaborative and client-centered. I work with clients to create goals that reflect their needs, values, lived experiences, and identity, not just symptom relief. Together, we build meaningful, sustainable goals that support growth and whole-person well-being.

Our first session

In our first session, you can expect a collaborative conversation where we explore your concerns, assess fit, review your history, and clarify goals. I’ll explain the therapy process, answer questions, and create a comfortable space for you to share at your own pace.
