More about me

Licensing: LCSW Years in Practice: 20 State: California

I am a licensed clinical social worker in California, with nearly 20 years of experience working with diverse communities on a wide range of issues. I attended the University of Southern California for my dual masters in Social Work and Jewish Communal Service. I am also trained as a transformational life coach.

I believe that self-exploration is an investment in you and your future. When we learn to pay attention to our thoughts and feelings with kindness and compassion, we gain insight and a true understanding of our authentic selves. We experience a sense of inner-peace, find deeper meaning, and become more nurturing to ourselves and others without judgment.

My mission is to get to know the core of who you are and understand your inner experiences. Together we will explore your emotional state. I will listen and validate your feelings within a safe space with empathy.

My intention is to help you set new goals and take steps towards achieving them. I will work with you to gain a true understanding of your strengths and help you restore your sense of clarity, direction, and creativity. I use different approaches in my work depending on the needs of my clients, including: client-centered, cognitive behavioral with psychodynamic perspective, mindfulness, and strength-based therapy.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Overall

Jilla and I have been working together for over three years. The amount of growth I’ve seen in myself is immeasurable since I began my journey with therapy. Jilla supports me in ways I didn’t even know I needed to be supported and more importantly she challenges me in ways I want to be. She is always calm and respectful. She is attentive and understanding. I couldn’t ask for someone better to be on this journey with me. Thank you, Jilla.

Overall

Jilla Lavian has been a wonderful resource in my life. I reached out to her at a crisis time in my life and she helped me past that and into a calmer time, but one full of life changes. Jilla not only provides talk therapy that helps me reflect and move forward positively... but she also occasionally leads me through wonderful guided meditations that are calming and peaceful.
