Getting to know Brian Aldrich

Hi there, I'm Brian! My name is Brian Aldrich. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Long Beach, California, and I work with clients statewide via Telehealth. I earned my Master’s in Social Work from California State University Long Beach. I work with adults on various issues such as anxiety, depression, and adjustment disorder, using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help my clients improve their everyday lives. My approach My approach to therapy varies based on the needs of the client. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and together with my clients, we work to move forward in a positive and healthy way. My focus I have found that my style and approach are a good fit for adults dealing with the challenges of transitions and social pressures, often expressed through anxiety, depression, and stress. My focus is to help clients build skills to feel better about themselves. My communication style My communication style is calm, accommodating, and personable. I want my clients to feel comfortable talking with me about anything, and I provide a safe environment for them to express their feelings without judgment. My journey to mental healthcare My journey to becoming a therapist started in college when I was in therapy myself. I really valued and enjoyed therapy and wanted to help others through life’s difficult challenges. I decided to major in Sociology and then pursued social work, ultimately becoming an LCSW. My goals for you My approach to goal setting is collaborative. Together, we outline what you want to accomplish in our time together. This starts with building rapport and trust and learning what it means to be in therapy. Over time, we will set goals and track your progress. My first session with you In our first session, we will spend time talking about your feelings and what brought you to therapy. I will ask questions to better understand you and your needs.
