My name is Silvia Escobar and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Southern California. with 11 years of professional work experience. I work with adolescents and adults specializing in depression, anxiety, life transitions, and stress using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Brief Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to help my clients make progress and start feeling better. I decided to become a therapist because I have always wanted to help others feel better about themselves and their circumstances. Throughout my career, individuals have naturally been drawn to share their struggles and difficult life situations with me. My approach to therapy varies based on the needs of each client I work with. I most frequently use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Brief Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing therapy as these modalities help me and the client develop a shared understanding of their current reality, and allow us to work together to build a path forward. I take pride in helping people trough difficult times. I enjoy seeing individuals become the best version of themselves. My communication style is serene, accommodating, and easygoing. I want my clients to feel comfortable and be at ease talking with me about anything. I pride myself in my ability to listen without imparting judgement.
