Getting to know Anna Melissa Chavez

Hi there, I'm Anna-Melissa Chavez! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in California, working with clients statewide via telehealth. I earned my Master's in Social Work from California State University, San Bernardino. Are you going through a major life transition? Feeling hopeless, down, stuck, fearful, or angry? Struggling with problematic substance use? My areas of focus include supporting young adults and adults experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, addiction issues, and grief. My approach to therapy is to find what works specifically for you. I will meet you with empathy, non-judgment, open-mindedness, and unconditional positive regard and acceptance. I work collaboratively with you, using a variety of therapeutic techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Solution-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Grief Therapy. I work with young adults and adults across the lifespan to help you navigate personal struggles, social pressures, and life transitions. These often present as stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, or grief. I believe effective communication is crucial to establishing trust and a strong therapeutic alliance. My communication style is calm, personable, and accommodating. I want you to feel comfortable talking to me about anything and to feel safe and at ease. From a young age, I have always wanted to help people. I am passionate about supporting others through their life journeys and instilling hope and positivity during difficult times. My goals for you begin with building trust and helping you become comfortable with what therapy means. Together, we will define what you want to accomplish and set goals to track your progress over time. If you are worried about being judged, unsure where to start, or just uncertain about therapy, please reach out!
