Janett Lopez-Inayama, LCSW

Janett Lopez-Inayama is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in California who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, low self-esteem, and depression. She speaks English and brings 13 years of professional experience to sessions. Janett emphasizes the client’s own strengths and supports practical steps toward feeling better. She starts by listening closely to each person's story and goals. Janett treats the person rather than a label, and she works with clients to identify small, doable changes that reduce daily stress and improve mood. Sessions focus on building confidence, improving communication, and finding meaning after loss. Her background includes over a decade of clinical work in varied settings in California, which informs a flexible, down-to-earth approach. Janett believes courage is involved in seeking help and aims to make the process manageable and respectful of each person’s pace. Therapy sessions often include talking through recent challenges, trying different coping strategies, and tracking what helps between meetings. She pays attention to issues like caregiver stress, aging-related concerns, feelings of isolation, and processing guilt or shame. Janett also supports exploration of life purpose, forgiveness, and self-love. She helps people navigating gender dysphoria and those healing from post-traumatic stress by focusing on concrete next steps and steady emotional support.
