Getting to know Frances Pagnotta

Hi there, I'm Frances! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in CA and NJ, with a Master’s in Clinical Social Work from New York University. Based in Marina Del Rey, CA, I work with individuals in both states via Telehealth. I work with adults and couples navigating anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, women’s issues, and interpersonal relationships. I utilize Psychodynamic, Strength-Based, Solution-Focused, Emotionally-Focused, and Cognitive Behavioral therapy. My approach I focus on creating a safe, empathic, and trusting environment where you feel heard and supported. Together we’ll build a collaborative therapeutic relationship to explore your challenges, strengthen coping skills, and develop effective communication strategies to foster self-trust, improved self-esteem, and resilience. I believe every individual has the capacity for growth and healing. My focus With 25+ years of experience, I have worked with a wide range of individuals across multiple age groups and settings. In our age of anxiety, I primarily work with clients struggling with anxiety from daily stressors, work pressures, interpersonal relationships, obsessive thinking, worrying, compulsive behaviors, and trauma. I also work with clients suffering from depression, including sadness, loneliness, poor motivation, and negative outlooks. My communication style My tone is calming, welcoming, supportive, empathic, empowering, straightforward, and challenging. I am open-minded and nonjudgmental, encouraging any communication and feelings clients bring into sessions. My journey to mental healthcare I have always been a good listener and curious about how people live. My natural empathy for others and their hardships gives me a feeling of privilege and gratitude that I am trusted enough.
