About Symone
Symone Berry, LCSW, is a California-based therapist who supports people facing low self-esteem, anxiety, stress, depression, and life changes. She speaks plainly and aims to make therapy feel approachable for those unsure where to start. Her work centers on helping clients build confidence and find practical steps forward.
She uses a strengths-based, collaborative style. That means she helps clients notice what already works and build on it. In sessions she leans on Motivational Interviewing to boost motivation and Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear, achievable goals.
Before clinical practice she worked in school counseling and crisis intervention, experience that shaped her calm, practical approach. That background informs how she supports children, adolescents, parents, and caregivers through emotional challenges and transitions. She draws on play-based techniques when working with younger children to help them name feelings and practice skills.
Symone emphasizes empowerment and realistic change. She helps people break big problems into small steps and practices skills they can use between sessions. The goal is steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Her bedside manner is warm and down-to-earth. She encourages honest conversation about what’s working and what isn’t, and she adjusts plans to fit a person’s life. If someone wants supportive, practical help with self-esteem or coping during a transition, she aims to offer steady guidance.
