Getting to know Lorita Casanova

My name is Lorita Casanova, and I am a Licensed Marriage Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Merced, California, working with clients statewide via telehealth. I hold a Master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and Child Counseling from the University of Phoenix. I work with adults and specialize in anxiety, depression, and trauma, using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Solution Focus Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, and Prolonged Exposure Therapy to help my clients make progress and start feeling better. My approach I have a person-centered approach to therapy, tailored to the unique needs of each client. I most frequently use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, and Prolonged Exposure Therapy, as these behavioral modalities help establish rapport and build a healthy therapeutic alliance. This partnership allows us to develop a treatment plan aimed at reaching targeted goals. My focus My style and approach are a good fit for adults aged 18 and older who may be struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and social pressures. I provide evidence-based therapy with interventions designed to build healthy coping skills and empower clients to regulate emotions, build distress tolerance, practice mindfulness, and develop interpersonal effectiveness. My communication style I take time to build rapport and meet clients where they are. I listen carefully to understand their expectations from therapy and educate them on the therapy process. As an assertive communicator, I demonstrate calm, supportive, and open communication. I want my clients to feel comfortable discussing anything with me, and I pride myself on my ability to actively listen non-judgmentally.
