About Symone
Symone Berry is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in California with three years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, compassion fatigue, coping with life changes, and family problems. Symone works in plain, practical ways so people can manage day-to-day pressures and responsibilities.
She uses motivational interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change. She also uses solution-focused techniques to set small, practical goals and track progress. Sessions aim to build short-term strategies that fit real life obligations like work, school, and parenting.
Before clinical work she practiced school counseling and crisis intervention, which shaped how she responds to urgent stress and supports young people. That background informs her focus on confidence, stress management, and emotional resilience for adolescents and young adults.
Symone brings a strengths-oriented style to sessions. She offers concrete tools parents and caregivers can try at home to support children’s emotional growth. For children she uses play-based methods to help them express feelings and learn skills in ways that feel natural.
Her approach is collaborative and direct. People meet to identify small steps that reduce overwhelm and improve coping. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online options button.
BHow sessions work
How Symone’s approaches translate to online work
Motivational interviewing is a conversational approach that helps people clarify their own reasons for change. It focuses on listening, reflecting, and drawing out motivation so clients can set realistic next steps for issues like low motivation, anxiety, or life transitions. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical changes. Sessions emphasize specific goals and steps that produce observable progress, which can be helpful for stress, self-esteem, and coping with life changes.Figuring out the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, everyday routines, and preferences. This is a practical conversation rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription, and it can shift as needs change.
Confirm the current session options before booking since the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, school, or caregiving, and it can reduce travel time. Some formats are better suited to brief check-ins, while others support longer therapeutic conversations; Symone will discuss what fits a client’s schedule and goals when setting up the first appointment.
