Estela Rodriguez Jebril , LCSW

Estela Rodriguez Jebril is a bilingual and bicultural Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and transformational coach practicing in California with 15 years of clinical experience. She holds a Master of Social Work from California State University, Long Beach, earned in 2008, and has built a career working with individuals, families, adolescents, and couples across a range of life challenges.

Early in her practice she spent five years providing in-home family therapy for Medi-Cal recipients, and she has extensive experience supporting elementary, middle, and high school students at risk along with their families. Her work with young people and caregivers focuses on improving communication, strengthening problem-solving skills, and addressing trauma through a variety of therapeutic modalities. Since 2016 she has practiced independently in private practice, offering therapy and coaching online to women, families, adolescents, and couples.

Her clinical style is goal-oriented and client-centered, emphasizing practical strategies that help people change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and reframe thinking patterns, and she integrates solution-focused techniques to develop concrete steps toward clients' goals. Estela approaches care with empathy and an emphasis on building a trusting, emotionally supportive relationship to help clients navigate change, heal from painful experiences, and pursue personal growth.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Estela Rodriguez Jebril

Estela draws on Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client's priorities shape each session. This approach helps people explore their values, build self-awareness, and make choices that reflect their goals.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical method that focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replacing them with more effective strategies. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is another tool she may bring into couples and family work - it centers on understanding and reshaping emotional responses to improve connection and repair relationship patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Estela collaborates with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions over time rather than relying on a single technique.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging allow clients to choose formats that fit their schedules and comfort levels. These options can make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home, and integrate therapeutic work into a busy life while working with licensed professionals and therapists who guide the process.
