Svjetlana Laterza, LCSW

Svjetlana Laterza, LCSW

Psychotherapist
CA
Hi there, I'm Svjetlana! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master’s in Social Work from the University of Southern California. I have experience working in various settings, including medical facilities and outpatient clinics, providing case management to diverse client populations. As a clinician, I strive to create a safe environment where my clients can openly discuss their unique life challenges. I enjoy helping clients gain essential insight and learn new skills so they can successfully navigate obstacles and achieve their goals. My approach I use a client-centered approach in therapy, focusing on identifying and enhancing current strengths, coping skills, resources, and support systems. Some of the treatment modalities I commonly use include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Positive Psychology, Mindfulness, Strength-Based, and an Eclectic approach. My focus I prefer working with clients who need life coaching or are experiencing anxiety, depression, grief and loss, relationship problems, and general life stress. My communication style I typically use active and empathic listening in therapy to understand my clients’ needs in the moment. My journey to therapy I have always had a passion for empowering people to live their best lives. My goals for you I encourage all my clients to start with one or two SMART (specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, time-based) goals. Progress is usually noticeable when clients experience a reduction in symptoms, improved functioning, and increased life satisfaction. My first session with you The first session is usually an introduction where I learn about you and share my therapeutic approaches. Together, we decide how to move forward with therapy. I help you develop a goal and determine the frequency of sessions.
