Amoreena Berg is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 18 years of experience. She works with adults and adolescents on problems like anxiety, depression, stress, grief, sleep trouble, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and self esteem. Her tone in sessions is warm and compassionate, focused on helping people meet practical goals.
She favors a hands-on style that blends understanding the past with building present-day skills. Sessions focus on learning concrete ways to manage emotions, reduce stress, and change unhelpful patterns. She encourages collaboration, so clients set goals and try strategies together with the therapist.
Her background includes work in schools, residential homes, outpatient treatment settings, and independent practice. That variety shapes a practical approach to common and complex problems, and she draws on what has helped others in similar situations.
Amoreena holds a degree from the University of California, Santa Barbara and a master’s in psychology from Golden Gate University. She is licensed in California as an LMFT, which means Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist.
Outside of clinical work she enjoys photography, exercise, and time with family and her dogs. She accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English.

Approaches that balance insight and practical skills
Amoreena uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that combine learning about past patterns with building present skills. One common approach she uses teaches emotion regulation and stress-management skills so people can reduce anxiety and handle intense feelings more effectively. This helps with worries, panic, anger, and sleep disruption.
Another approach focuses on problem solving and behavioral change. It helps people identify small actions and routines that improve mood, relationships, and daily functioning. That kind of work is useful for depression, motivation problems, and coping with life changes.
Choosing the right method is a team effort. She collaborates with each person to figure out which techniques fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying strategies, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together over time.
Session formats were not specified in the provided biography, so please confirm the available online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or therapy without commuting. It also allows continuity when someone is traveling or living outside the therapist's immediate area. Many people find these practical benefits help them maintain progress between appointments.
