Book an appointment with Ana Yesenia Lainez, LCSW in California

Taking the first step toward therapy can feel difficult, but you don’t have to navigate it alone. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and psychotherapist providing virtual therapy throughout California.

With over 11 years of experience, I support adults and adolescents navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, grief, and life transitions. I earned my Master’s degree in Social Welfare from UCLA.

My approach is warm, compassionate, and personalized. I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and trauma-informed care to help clients understand patterns, develop practical coping skills, process difficult experiences, and create meaningful change.

I believe therapy is a collaborative process grounded in safety, trust, and respect. My goal is to create a nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to move toward greater emotional well-being.
