Getting to know Monica Guitierrez

Hi there, I'm Monica! I’m Monica Gutierrez, a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California. I enjoy supporting my clients during their journey of self-discovery and healing. I specialize in anxiety, depression, relationships, and work stressors. My approach My approach to therapy varies based on the client’s needs. My main approach is client-centered. I strive to create a safe environment that includes empathy, being non-judgmental, and offering unconditional positive regard. I also use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-focused approaches. I want my clients to feel part of the treatment process and work collaboratively to find the best approach. My focus In my experience, I work well with adults in all phases of life and from diverse backgrounds. I assist clients dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and daily stressors. I help clients develop coping skills and build support systems to navigate difficult life transitions. My communication style My communication style is calm, welcoming, and empathetic to create a safe space for clients. I’m an active listener and want my clients to feel comfortable sharing their concerns. My journey to mental healthcare I have always had a desire to help people. Early in my career, I discovered I enjoyed listening to others and supporting people of different ages and backgrounds. I started as a Social Worker in a recovery program. During the first ten years of my career, I worked in clinical settings and learned about the therapy process from coworkers. I then pursued my path to becoming a therapist, earning my Master’s in Counseling from National University. As a licensed therapist, I continue to enjoy helping individuals and witnessing my clients’ healing journeys.
