Getting to know Lita Cienega-Saldana

Hello, I'm Lita Cienega-Saldana, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California. I hold a Master’s in Counseling from Argosy University and bring nearly six years of experience in the mental health field. I offer therapeutic services to individuals and families seeking support in connecting with their inner selves and leading more independent, fulfilling lives. I am enthusiastic about guiding and assisting clients on their therapeutic journey. Outside of my professional life, I cherish spending time with my husband and two teenage daughters. I have a passion for cooking, arts and crafts, traveling, and embracing the outdoors whenever possible. My approach I tailor my therapeutic approach to each client’s unique needs, with a primary focus on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I firmly believe in CBT’s crucial role in shifting perceptions and fostering positive change. I guide clients to identify and understand how cognitive restructuring or reframing can transform their experiences. My focus I specialize in therapy for children, adolescents, young adults, and families. My extensive experience includes working with students from kindergarten through 12th grade, as well as providing support and therapy for families. I have found that my style and approach resonate well with children, young adults, and families. I emphasize addressing life changes, family dynamics, anxiety, depression, stress, and panic. My communication style I am known for my open and honest communication. While my tone varies from session to session, I always maintain positive self-regard and empathy toward my clients. My overarching goal is to establish healthy rapport consistently, creating a safe and welcoming environment for all my clients and their families.
