About

Hello, I am Cesar Gonzalez and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) from the central valley providing telehealth services in the state of California. I am a bilingual therapist as I speak fluent Spanish. I provide services to adolescents and adults who find themselves struggling with depression and anxiety or have experienced trauma. Throughout my sessions I will utilize Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help clients navigate their thoughts and emotions in hopes of feeling better in their everyday life. My approach The needs of each client vary, therefore, I attempt to adapt to the unique needs of each client in my therapeutic approach. The frequent approaches I utilize are Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Narrative Therapy. These modalities help clients and myself gain insight and understanding of their life stressors and the impact it may have on their emotions and thoughts. My focus I have experience working with different populations, however, my client focus is typically teenagers and adults who are struggling with a variety of problems, such as low self-esteem, lack of motivation, interpersonal relationships, stress, difficulty adjusting to life changes and individuals who are victims of sexual abuse. In my practice, I treat anxiety, depression, and trauma, and I work with my clients in learning skills to navigate their stressors, emotions and thoughts. My communication style I pride myself with providing a safe space where clients can share anything about themselves. Throughout sessions, I actively listen without judgment. I communicate in a calm manner, I am outgoing, accommodating, personable and I like to think I can be funny at times My first session with you In our first session together, I will ask questions about how you have been feeling and areas that you would like to focus on to help me gain an understanding of how to best help you.
