My Approach to Helping
My name is Samantha Mendez and I am a Licensed Clinical Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Livermore, California, and working with clients statewide via telehealth. I work with youth and parents focusing primarily on anxiety, stress, and family building, using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Person-Centered Therapy to help my clients make progress and start feeling better.
My approach to therapy varies based on the needs of each client I work with.
I most frequently use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Person-Centered Therapy as both approaches help me and the client build a shared understanding of their reality, and allow us to work together to build a path forward. My experience as a spouse and parent also inform my approach to clients.
