About Federico
Federico Godina is a licensed clinical social worker with seven years of experience helping people who struggle with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, low self esteem, and depression. He focuses on practical steps that help people feel steadier day to day. Federico aims to make the first step less daunting and offers calm, nonjudgmental support as people begin change.
In sessions he creates an open space where thoughts and feelings can be talked through honestly. He listens for what matters most to each person and works from there. Conversations often include checking how current habits and thoughts affect mood and behavior.
Federico uses a mix of approaches to match what a person needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is part of his work for changing unhelpful thinking patterns. Mindfulness techniques are used to help people manage strong emotions and ground themselves in the present.
He also draws on client-centered methods that prioritize the client’s goals and motivation-based strategies when someone feels stuck. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills may be used to build emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Sessions focus on small, concrete steps that can make daily life more manageable.
Federico practices in California and conducts his work in English. He encourages people to take that first step and offers steady guidance through the early stages of change.
