About Reina
Reina Menasche is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in California with 30 years of professional experience. She helps people manage stress and anxiety, address relationship concerns, and build motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. She also supports people who are coping with life changes.
Reina uses straightforward conversation to work through immediate problems and everyday pressures. Sessions focus on practical steps clients can use between meetings. She encourages people to say what feels most urgent and then sets small goals to make progress feel manageable.
Her approach is conversational and task-focused rather than theoretical. Reina listens for patterns in thinking and behavior that get in the way, then suggests concrete strategies to change them. She helps people practice new ways of responding so improvements carry into daily life.
Over three decades of practice have included a range of client concerns and settings. That experience informs how she prioritizes what to address first and how to adapt strategies to different circumstances. Reina draws on what has worked for others while staying focused on the client in front of her.
People who choose her work with someone who keeps sessions practical and grounded. She guides the next steps and adjusts the pace to match each person’s needs. To begin, clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session to see how the approach fits.
BHow sessions work
Evidence-based techniques and working online
Reina draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that emphasize clear steps and practice. One common approach focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns, which helps reduce anxiety and improve mood by shifting how people interpret stressful events. Another approach uses behavioral strategies - breaking goals into small, doable actions and building routines that increase motivation and confidence.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Reina will talk with the client about goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust as needed. The emphasis is on what fits the person’s life and keeps progress moving forward.
Confirm the current session options before booking, since formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited, or remove travel time on a workday. Licensed professionals use these formats to help people maintain continuity of care and to practice new skills between sessions.
