Getting to know Cristina Morelli

Hi there, I'm Cristina! Hello, I’m Cristina Morelli, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California (#107804). I specialize in working with individuals aged 16 and older, focusing on managing anxiety and depression. By utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and a trauma-informed approach, I help clients enhance their well-being and improve their relationships. My approach I begin by understanding each individual’s unique needs, and then I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing techniques to address and manage unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. My approach is both culturally and trauma-informed, ensuring a personalized and sensitive experience. My focus I have found that my experience and therapeutic style are particularly effective for adolescents and adults dealing with depression and anxiety. This may manifest as excessive worry, persistent rumination, enduring sadness, or irritability, which can impact various aspects of life such as academic performance, relationships with friends or partners, and overall life satisfaction. My communication style My communication style is non-judgmental, curious, genuine, and caring. Clients often express that they feel at ease sharing their thoughts during sessions and truly feel heard and understood. My journey to mental healthcare I’m naturally curious and genuinely interested in others, and I take great joy in being a small part of people’s journeys toward a more fulfilling and happy life. I firmly believe that growth and change are possible at any age for those who seek it, and I’m honored to support and guide individuals on that transformative path. My goals for you I usually start by asking clients what brings them to therapy and how their challenges are affecting their goals and daily life, such as school, relationships, or work. Together, we identify key areas of concern and collaborate on actionable steps to make meaningful improvements.
