Therapists in Montebello, CA
While many of us associate mental healthcare with the treatment of anxiety, depression, and other conditions, most people can actually benefit from therapy at some point in their lives. A therapist offers effective coping skills that can resolve family conflict and relationship challenges, manage stress, improve well-being and support a better life all around.
When it comes to finding a therapist, Montebello, CA may offer more variety than surrounding rural communities, but finding the right therapist can be challenging even in a city. One reason for this is that within the wider field of mental health care, there are a number of therapeutic approaches and specializations. A holistic approach, solution-based therapy, women’s issues, play therapy, CBT, and many more. There’s no guarantee that what you want or need as a therapy approach will be available in your area. And even if there is a practice that specializes in what you need, they may have a waiting list or may not be taking new patients. That’s where online therapy can help.
BetterHelp is an online platform that offers Southern California-based online mental health providers that specialize in a broad range of approaches and techniques, and have experience working with diverse populations. Simply fill out an online questionnaire and BetterHelp will match you with the therapist that best meets your needs. And because a strong therapeutic alliance can be essential to success, if you need to change therapists you can do so at no additional cost.
Online therapy is also a convenient solution for many busy professionals, parents, and students. Online sessions fit easily into any schedule, and with video chat, phone, and text messaging options, you can meet with your therapist from the comfort of your own home or office.
If you’ve been thinking about therapy for any reason, contact BetterHelp to get started, or check out the list of Montebello-based online professionals below for more information.

I'm an older, more conservative therapist. My first experience in the field was with the Army as a Behavioral Science Specialist in 1984. I have worked in Community Mental Health, Psychiatric Hospitals, private practice, and most recently service mostly active duty Air Force at Nellis and Creech Air Force base. I'm well trained and experienced working with trauma, depression, and anxiety. I can help with problem solving, anger management, and other issues. I am experienced treating people with very serious conditions, and, highly functional people that have hit a rough spot. Counseling does not have to be heavy, serious and intimidating. Under the right circumstances, we can both find humor in a situation and release tension with laughter instead of tears. For the new client, you may have a better experience and have your expectations met if you have an idea what you want out of therapy. With my experience on this site, I have some observations. Some of you very much enjoy the convenience of this platform. And, however you choose to receive counseling, teleconference, phone, or chat, that is what you will get. There are some that enjoy the almost complete anonymity of the internet platform. There are some that are interested in an assessment, diagnosis, and consultation or treatment recommendations based on the diagnosis. There are some that very much want a good listener. If you let me know what you want, I'll lock in. If you change your mind about what you want, I'll be flexible. If you want short-term counseling, let me know the number of sessions, and we'll get as much done as we can. If therapy is going to be a part of your long-term growth, let me know that as well. Of course, there is the possibility that you just want to sample therapy to see what it's all about. I think that's great!

3 years offering treatment
Hello! My name is Karinna and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I have 3 years of experience working with various mental health concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, negative body image, low self-esteem, and interpersonal conflicts. Initial sessions with me are about getting to know the person and then getting to know the problem later. I firmly believe that a diagnosis is not the person, a diagnosis gives us a guideline of what symptoms to target and what possible interventions may work. My main focus as a therapist is to accompany you in your healing process and help you tune into your wisdom. Together, we will work on identifying what is no longer serving you, develop goals and a plan that work for you to make changes to reduce, and even eliminate, these feelings and behaviors causing pain and distress in your life today. It takes a lot of courage to ask for help, and it is an honor to be trusted with your healing journey.
