About Luz
Luz Venegas is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California with 13 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed, depressed, or anxious. She also supports those coping with trauma, grief, and low self-esteem. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.
Luz uses a person-centered approach that starts with listening. She meets each person where they are and adapts conversations to match their needs. That practical focus helps people set meaningful goals and make steady changes between appointments.
She brings Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and mindfulness tools into sessions when helpful. That means clients learn ways to notice thoughts, manage intense emotions, and practice calm attention. Motivational Interviewing and narrative approaches are used to strengthen motivation and reframe difficult life stories.
Luz has worked across many concerns related to illness, aging, and life transitions. She has experience with chronic pain and disability, cancer, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and immigration-related stress. She also addresses relationship strain, communication problems, and issues around abandonment and attachment.
Her style is warm and respectful. She will collaborate with each person to build a plan that fits their goals. To begin, clients complete an intake questionnaire and schedule sessions based on availability. Luz asks people to take the first step when they are ready to explore change.
