Getting to know Kariisa Carrasco
Welcome, my name is Kariisa Carrasco. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master’s in Social Work from California State University. I emphasize helping clients adjust to unexpected changes in their lives. Using Solution Focused Therapy, we will set personal goals and work to achieve them so you feel more in charge of your time and emotions.
My approach
I primarily use Family Systems Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. These techniques increase social interaction to support you during difficult internal times.
My focus
I provide care for post-divorce adjustment, parenting transitions, life changes, and disappointments. I also specialize in therapy for new therapists adjusting to the field. With extensive experience in a medical setting, I work with first responders experiencing secondary trauma.
My communication style
I have a laid-back tone and value honesty. It’s important not to lie to yourself, which is the first step to accepting your reality. Once we've done that, the work can begin. I am a California casual and a working mom myself.
My journey to therapy
I completed grad school in 2006 and worked extensively with foster children. Witnessing intense behaviors drew me to therapy, where we address thoughts and feelings behind behaviors. As a parent, I find having a supportive sounding board for parenting helps reduce mom guilt and parental anxiety.
My goals for you
If you are reaching out for care, you are already taking steps toward your goals. I follow the client in the direction they want to grow and learn.
My first session with you
The first session is about getting to know you and your therapy experience. We will discuss your upbringing, adult life, and challenges. Once we have a broad picture, we can diagnose and move forward.
