Getting to know Cerise Dossman

Hi There! My name is Cerise, and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in the Long Beach, California, area, working with clients via telehealth. I hold a Master’s in Social Work from California State University, Long Beach. I work with children, youth, and families, utilizing faith-based beliefs and values to improve communication, process childhood trauma, and strengthen self-esteem and positive self-image. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help my clients make progress and start feeling better. My approach My approach to therapy varies based on the needs of each client I work with. I most frequently use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps me and the client build a shared understanding of their reality and allows us to work together to chart a path forward. My focus My client population is a specialty focus. I believe that my style and approach are a good fit for tweens, teens, and adults who may be dealing with the challenges of life transitions and social pressures. This often takes the form of anxiety, depression, and stress. I work to help my clients navigate these transition periods and build skills that allow them to feel better about themselves and develop a more positive outlook on life. 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 pride myself on my ability to listen without judgment. My journey to mental healthcare I decided to become a therapist because I have always wanted to help people. Whether it was as a children’s social worker, volunteering in my community, or being a trusted and loyal friend, I have always been naturally drawn to helping people through difficult times. I enjoy seeing individuals become the best versions of themselves. My goals for you My approach to goal setting with clients is all about working together to define what you want to accomplish in our time together.
