Getting to know Rachel Dezember

Hi there, I'm Rachel! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in San Diego, CA, with a Master's in Social Work from San Diego State University and a Bachelor's degree from the University of California, Santa Barbara. I work with clients via telehealth and really enjoy providing cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). I specialize in working with adults and older adults, focusing on depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, difficulty with life adjustments, and grief. My goal is to help you feel better and lead a fuller, happier life! My approach My approach to therapy is individualized to each client's needs. I typically utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients change disruptive thought and behavior patterns. Once those changes are made, clients begin to feel better. My focus I have found that my style and approach are a good fit for adults and older adults dealing with the challenges of life transitions. This often presents as anxiety and depression. I work to help my clients navigate these transition periods and build skills that allow them to feel better about themselves and develop a more positive outlook on life. My communication style My communication style is calm, accommodating, and personable. I want my clients to feel comfortable talking with me about anything, and I pride myself on my ability to listen without judgment. My journey to mental healthcare I decided to become a therapist because I have always wanted to help people. I enjoy seeing individuals become the best versions of themselves. My goals for you My approach to goal setting with clients is all about working together to define what you want to accomplish during our time together. This often starts by building trust between us and getting comfortable with what it means to be in therapy. We will set goals based on your priorities and work together to help you accomplish them.
