Michelle Zaragoza

Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

I am a licensed mental health clinician in California with over nine years of professional counseling experience. I specialize in helping adults manage stress, anxiety, relationship issues, and career challenges.

I provide Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy, which are brief, goal-oriented approaches grounded in positive psychology. These methods empower clients to focus on creating solutions rather than dwelling on problems. My care approach is collaborative and engaging—I work alongside you to develop skills and find constructive solutions. I offer direct and thoughtful feedback to help keep our focus on your short-term and long-term goals.

My aim is to support and empower you to develop practical strategies for personal growth and to facilitate meaningful changes in your life. It takes courage to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support you!

I look forward to working together!

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?

Many people ask whether remote therapy can truly help. For a range of common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person sessions.

One major benefit is flexibility – clients can choose the format that fits their needs and comfort level, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This adaptability makes it easier to integrate therapy into a busy schedule.

Each therapist is a licensed professional, and clients have the option to switch providers if they feel a different fit would be better. Online therapy offers a practical way to access professional support while keeping the focus on treatment goals and progress.
