About Giselle

Giselle Jarvis is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in California who focuses on helping people manage mood and stress-related concerns. She offers services in English and Spanish and aims to create a respectful, steady space for people to talk through hard moments.

She uses practical, evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address depression, anxiety, bipolar symptoms, and grief. Sessions often include strategies from cognitive and behavioral approaches to reduce unhelpful patterns and build skills for coping with life changes. Mindfulness and behavioral activation are included to help people reconnect with everyday routines and positive activities.

Giselle has five years of clinical experience working across a range of diagnoses and life stages. That experience includes supporting people with trauma and abuse, panic attacks, obsessive-compulsive concerns, and mood disorders. She has also worked with people facing caregiving stress, immigration-related challenges, and cultural concerns.

She has provided services to people affected by neurodevelopmental and neurocognitive conditions in clinical settings, using behavior-focused methods when appropriate. Giselle emphasizes mutual trust and a collaborative pace, matching interventions to each person’s needs and goals.

People who choose to work with her can expect straightforward talk, goal-oriented work, and tools to practice between sessions. She invites potential clients to start with a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a time that fits their life.

How evidencebased techniques translate to online care

Giselle uses a few straightforward, proven approaches that focus on changing daily patterns and reactions. Cognitive behavioral techniques look at thoughts and behaviors that keep depression and anxiety going and teach specific skills to shift those patterns. Behavioral activation helps people reintroduce meaningful activities and routines that lift mood and increase motivation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Giselle will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals and life. She checks in regularly and adjusts pace or tools based on what is helpful to the client.

Specific session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people try techniques in the context of their daily routines, so skills learned in session can be put into practice right away.
