Muang Kistler

Muang Kistler (pronounced Moo-wong) is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California (CA LCSW 94125) who began providing remote therapy in November 2022. With three years of experience as a therapist, she built on nine prior years working as a medical social worker in hospital settings, including emergency departments, acute adult medicine, inpatient psychiatric care, and palliative care.

Her clinical background also includes time as an outpatient therapist in a primary care setting, work at an outpatient dialysis center, and experience providing services in a prison. Muang practices from an attachment perspective while integrating evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients manage emotions, thoughts, and behaviors.

She works with a wide range of adults, including those exploring how intergenerational and complex family systems affect attachment patterns, individuals seeking relief from anxiety and depression, people navigating life transitions, clients coping with chronic or acute medical diagnoses, those processing grief and loss, and those aiming to strengthen self-esteem and self-worth. Whether addressing trauma, building coping skills, or clarifying personal goals, Muang collaborates with clients to develop growth plans that feel both empowering and achievable.

Muang emphasizes honest, clear, and open communication to create a supportive space for processing emotions and pursuing emotional, spiritual, and cognitive goals. She views therapy as a partnership and works together with clients to set meaningful objectives, adjusting the treatment plan as insights emerge and needs evolve.
