Getting to know Naly Thao
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master’s in Social Work from California State University, Stanislaus. I believe you already have the answers within you, and my role in therapy is to guide your exploration and discovery of self as you navigate life transitions, challenges, stress, and relational issues. My approach is warm, exploratory, supportive, reflective, direct, and collaborative. My focus areas include anxiety, depression, life transitions, relational issues, trauma, and stress.
I take a reflective and exploratory approach to help you uncover insights and make meaningful connections to your experiences. We’ll explore how your past shapes your perception of present challenges, drawing from psychodynamic therapy. I also incorporate evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and solution-focused techniques to provide practical strategies for change. Understanding that everyone’s needs and goals are unique, I remain flexible and tailor my approach to what works best for you.
I focus on helping people struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, and relational issues. With experience supporting individuals facing a variety of mental health challenges and levels of acuity, I tailor my approach to meet your unique needs. My goal is to help you gain insight into your experiences and develop effective coping strategies to improve your well-being and relationships.
My communication style is curious, empathetic, open, and honest. I strive to create a supportive environment where you feel safe to share your thoughts and experiences without fear of judgment. I’ll celebrate your strengths and progress while also being straightforward about areas you’re struggling with, helping you work through the changes you want to make. My goal is for you to feel understood and empowered as we navigate this journey together.
