More about Sessie
- 13 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Los Angeles, California, working with clients statewide via telehealth. I work with adults, focusing on anxiety and depression, and tailor my approach to each client’s needs. I communicate with empathy, actively listen, and ensure sessions are client-centered. I believe clients should lead the conversation while I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space to share thoughts and feelings openly.
