About Theresa
Theresa Leal is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California with 20 years of experience. She focuses on building motivation, self esteem, and confidence so people feel steadier in daily life. She also helps with stress, anxiety, grief, anger, and challenges tied to relationships and parenting.
Theresa creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk through their thoughts and feelings. She works alongside people to set small goals and find practical steps that fit their routines. Sessions are collaborative and focused on what matters most to each person.
Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas to understand relationship patterns. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and solution-focused strategies to identify next steps. These methods are used to address trauma, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, and attention-related difficulties such as ADHD.
Theresa has supported clients dealing with parenting strain, family conflict, and the challenges of aging or young adulthood. She aims to help people build better day-to-day coping skills and improve how they relate to others. The goal is clearer thinking and small, doable changes that lead to more confidence.
