Hi there, I'm Carissa! My name is Carissa Villa, LMFT #132022. I hold a Master's in Counseling from California Baptist University. My approach to therapy is calm, compassionate, and understanding. I focus on depression, anxiety, and life transitions. My approach My approach to therapy varies based on my client's needs but typically involves a person-centered approach. This allows me to meet my client where they are and set clear expectations and reasonable goals for treatment. My focus I typically work with clients experiencing depression, anxiety, or life transitions. My communication style I provide an empathic environment during sessions, communicating acceptance and warmth. I want my clients to feel heard and validated in their communications. My journey to mental healthcare I was drawn to a career as a therapist by my love of helping people. I enjoy seeing people grow and reach their full potential. I feel privileged to be part of their journeys, even for a short time. My goals for you My first goal is to establish an open and trusting relationship. Once rapport is built, we will work together to set reasonable goals for therapy. We will monitor progress and adjust as needed.
