About
Marina Thomas is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California (CA LCSW 124979). She brings seven years of experience working in child welfare, where she witnessed numerous family stories involving trauma, racism, and environmental and social injustices that affected family structure and overall well-being.
That experience motivated her to become a clinician so she can support healing for individuals facing life-altering events, anxiety, depression, and other difficult challenges. Much of her clinical work focuses on helping clients identify the root causes of their concerns and developing practical, achievable goals and plans to address them, with the aim of enhancing safety, well-being, and quality of life.
Marina uses a collaborative, client-centered approach that invites active participation in the therapeutic process, and she emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in each interaction. As a clinician she strives to create a safe, non-judgmental space for processing experiences, pursuing goals, and building empowerment.
She aims to be the support clients need to understand the sources of distress and to implement strategies that improve daily life. Marina also recognizes that beginning therapy takes courage and honors the decision to get started.

A key advantage is flexibility. Individuals can connect with therapists in the format that works best for them - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging - which makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule.
