Getting to know Gina Machado-Escatel

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Modesto, California, working with clients statewide via telehealth. I hold a Master’s in Social Work from California State University, Stanislaus. I work with adults experiencing depression, anxiety, and stress using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Eclectic Therapy to help clients start feeling better and moving forward. My approach I aim to understand my clients' needs and work toward positive goals by using the most appropriate therapy approaches based on individual needs. My focus I work well with men and women across various age groups dealing with depression, anxiety, interpersonal stresses, grief, and loss. I help clients feel better about themselves and create a path forward. My communication style My style is calm, clear, and personable. I want clients to feel safe sharing their stories. My journey to mental healthcare I became a therapist to help others navigate life’s challenges. I was always the person to talk to, offer support, or just listen. Turning that desire and skill into a profession has brought me joy as I see others grow and move through difficult times. My goals for you I work together with clients to determine what they want to accomplish. This involves building trust and understanding therapy. Each client identifies specific goals and tracks progress over time. My first session with you In our first session, we will focus on why you came to therapy and ask questions to understand your feelings and decision to seek help. Everyone is different. I will listen to your needs and create a safe space to positively impact your mental health.
