About Ligia

Ligia Pacheco Paz brings a practical, compassionate approach to therapy. She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California with eight years of professional experience. She aims to help people handle stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and depression in everyday terms.

She supports people facing relationship concerns and coping with life changes. Sessions focus on clear goals and steady steps toward feeling more confident and motivated. Conversations are kept direct and kind so clients can speak openly about what matters.

Background and approach

Ligia works to make the room feel nonjudgmental and calm. She listens for patterns like guilt, shame, isolation, and communication breakdowns. From there she offers ways to practice new responses and notice what helps most.

Her style balances practical tools and emotional support. Clients learn simple strategies they can use between sessions to manage anxiety or lift low mood. Progress is tracked in small, measurable steps rather than sudden fixes.

She offers services in English and Spanish for people located in California. Getting started begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session. Ligia encourages people to take the first step and says reaching out is a sign of strength rather than weakness.

Focus areas and approaches

Everything Ligia lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

Online support

Evidence-based techniques for online care

Ligia uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional understanding. One approach uses structured skill-building to reduce anxiety and manage stress, teaching breathing, grounding, and problem-solving steps that can be practiced between sessions. Another approach emphasizes identifying unhelpful thinking and trying small behavioral experiments to build confidence and lift mood; this helps with low self-esteem, depression, and motivation.

Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That choice is reviewed over time, so strategies can be adjusted as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people use visual cues for deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera time is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, practicing new skills, or keeping momentum between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep regular contact with licensed professionals.
