About Galina
Galina Storozhenko is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in California with 17 years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. Galina speaks English and Russian and uses several evidence-informed therapy approaches to guide her work.
Her practice emphasises collaborative work. She treats clients as the experts on their own lives and builds on existing strengths. Sessions focus on practical skills and clearer thinking to reduce overwhelming feelings and improve daily functioning.
Galina draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and the Gottman Method. These approaches are used to address mood symptoms, anxiety, panic, and the patterns that complicate relationships and work life. She helps people notice what matters to them and develop steps that fit their situation.
She also supports concerns such as abandonment, caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, communication problems, guilt and shame, impulsivity, isolation, life purpose, midlife transitions, and workplace issues. Sessions aim to clarify goals and create manageable steps toward them.
People who choose Galina can expect direct, practical conversations about problems and options. The work focuses on what can change now and small skill-based practices to try between sessions.
BHow sessions work
How Galina uses therapy models in online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions that align with those values. It helps when anxiety, avoidance, or uncertainty get in the way of things that matter. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches concrete tools to shift them. CBT is often used for anxiety, panic, and mood concerns. The Gottman Method offers structured ways to address communication patterns and relationship interaction. It can help people improve how they talk about issues and repair recurring conflicts.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That selection can change over time based on how the work is going and what practical steps are helpful.
