Getting to know Carol Kosta

My name is Carol Kosta. I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC). I hold a master's degree in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University Los Angeles, and I am a certified EMDR practitioner. Over the last 20 years, I have worked as a therapist with diverse populations in private practice, community-based programs, and facilities that treat mental health, eating disorders, and substance use disorders. I primarily use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help clients recover from trauma and other distressing life experiences, including PTSD, anxiety, depression, and panic disorders. I also incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Mindfulness, Art Therapy, Solution-Focused, and other strength-based approaches. Through the use of compassion, empathy, and humor, I have helped clients gain insight, identify coping strategies, increase self-esteem, use healthy communication, improve relationships, and work through the stages of life. I understand that it takes strength and courage to participate in therapy, and I make intentional efforts to support and understand clients by checking in with them and being open to feedback.
