Getting to know Karen Aguilar

My name is Karen Aguilar, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Los Angeles, California, working with clients statewide via telehealth. I hold a Master’s in Social Work from the University of Southern California. I work with adolescents and adults, specializing in anxiety, stress, grief, and depression. My approach My approach to therapy varies based on each client’s needs. I most frequently use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients progress and start feeling better. These modalities help us build a shared understanding of their reality and work together to create progress. My focus My style and approach suit teens and adults dealing with past trauma, life transitions, and social pressures, often manifesting as anxiety, depression, and stress. I help clients navigate these transitions and build skills 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 clients to feel comfortable talking with me about anything, without judgment. Therapy is a safe place, and I do everything to ensure clients feel heard, understood, and supported. My journey to therapy From a young age, I wanted to help people. I realized I had gifts like being a great listener, compassionate, and a mediator, which placed me in situations where I could listen, help, and support others. Becoming a therapist allowed me to be there for more people during hard seasons and help them become their best selves. My goals for you My approach to goal setting is about working together to define what you want to accomplish in our time together.
