Griselda Trujillo , LCSW

Griselda Trujillo is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, eating concerns, low self-esteem, and depression. She speaks English and Spanish and brings 12 years of professional experience in California to each conversation.

She treats the person, not just the problem. Griselda centers each session on what the client already knows about their life and goals. She encourages small, practical steps and pays attention to strengths that are often overlooked when someone is overwhelmed.

Her approach is straightforward and supportive. Sessions focus on identifying triggers, building coping strategies, and practicing skills that fit day-to-day life. She also addresses caregiver stress, feelings of guilt or shame, panic symptoms, and social anxiety when they come up.

Griselda frames change as a step-by-step process. She listens for patterns that keep people stuck and helps them try new ways of responding. Work often includes developing healthier habits around eating, mood, and self-talk.

Clients can expect a collaborative relationship where their priorities guide the work. Griselda aims to make therapy practical and usable between sessions. She supports people who want clearer direction and more confidence in managing emotional challenges.

Evidence-based approaches and online care

Griselda draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills people can use right away. One approach centers on building practical coping strategies for anxiety and panic - learning breathing and grounding methods, spotting triggers, and rehearsing alternative reactions to reduce distress. Another approach addresses mood and trauma-related symptoms by identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new ways of thinking and behaving to improve daily mood and functioning.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Griselda works with each person to clarify goals and preferences, then adjusts methods as progress unfolds. The process is collaborative - she suggests options, explains what to expect, and together they pick what feels most useful for the client's situation.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into life. Video lets people see facial cues and use visual materials. Phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or a hands-free check-in is needed. Live chat and text allow shorter, more flexible exchanges between sessions. These remote formats help maintain continuity of care while offering scheduling flexibility and different ways to communicate.
