About Giselle
Giselle Jarvis is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in California who focuses on helping people build stronger emotional resilience. She offers therapy in both English and Spanish and emphasizes practical strategies for managing stress, mood changes, and low self esteem.
She came to social work through a long interest in the brain and a wish to help people feel better emotionally. After completing studies in psychology and social work, she earned her LCSW and began practicing psychotherapy in California. Her work has included supporting people through grief, trauma, depression, bipolar symptoms, and anxiety disorders.
Giselle has experience working with people who have a wide range of diagnoses and life challenges. That includes helping clients navigate panic attacks, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, postpartum depression, and challenges related to caregiving or immigration. She also brings approaches used with developmental differences such as autism and Down syndrome when those needs are present.
In sessions she uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques like mindfulness, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, exposure and response prevention, behavioral activation, and applied behavior analysis where appropriate. These tools are applied to everyday problems like anger, isolation, control struggles, and coping with major life changes.
She describes therapy as a collaborative process built on trust and commitment. Giselle aims to help people set clear goals and practice manageable skills that make daily life feel more manageable over time.
