Getting to know Lupita Padilla

My name is Lupita, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Merced, California. I work with clients statewide via telehealth. I work with adults and specialize in anxiety, panic disorder, stress, depression, and trauma-related disorders using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. I earned my Master’s in Social Work from California State University, Stanislaus, and my Bachelor’s degree from its Sacramento campus. My approach to therapy varies depending on the needs of each client. I utilize more than one therapy modality at each session to help my clients make progress and improve their mental and emotional health. I frequently use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as it is shown to be very effective. Together with my clients, we work toward reaching their desired goals. I have found that my style and approach in therapy are a good fit for adults dealing with internal conflict leading to anxiety and depression. I help my clients navigate these challenges and life transitions by searching for the best coping skills that can improve their current mental well-being. My communication style is calm and accommodating. I want my clients to feel welcome and comfortable when talking to me about sensitive issues. I take pride in listening to clients without judgment. I decided to pursue a career as a licensed therapist because I have always been naturally drawn to helping others. I enjoy seeing individuals become the best version of themselves. I believe there are life events that affect people in unfortunate ways, and it is important to navigate and move forward toward a meaningful and fulfilling life. My approach with clients is to set goals together and define what they want to accomplish in our time together. This often requires an alliance and trust between the therapist and the client. We will find ways to track progress and modify treatment if necessary.
