Estela Rodriguez Jebril is a bilingual, bicultural licensed clinician who brings 15 years of experience supporting individuals, families, adolescents, and couples. She holds an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker - and earned a Master in Social Work from California State University Long Beach. Early in her career she provided in-home family therapy for Medi-Cal recipients for five years, working directly with households to strengthen communication and address complex family dynamics.

Estela has delivered school-based services to elementary, middle, and high school students identified as at risk, collaborating with families to improve problem-solving skills and to address trauma that affects learning and relationships. Since 2016 she has maintained an independent private practice, offering online therapy and transformational coaching to women, families, adolescents, and couples. Her approach is goal-oriented and client-centered, emphasizing practical, hands-on techniques that help people develop new ways of thinking and coping.

She frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy to target unhelpful thought patterns and to build concrete strategies for change. Estela emphasizes the importance of a trusting, emotionally supportive relationship as the foundation for growth and recovery, and she works to empower clients to take meaningful steps toward healing and personal development.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions with Estela

Estela integrates Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy into her online practice. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy and collaboration, creating a respectful space where clients guide the pace and goals of work while the therapist offers support and reflection. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, providing practical skills to manage anxiety, mood, and stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps clients explore and process core emotions and attachment patterns, which can be especially useful for couples and families working to improve connection and resolve recurring conflicts.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Estela collaborates with each person to determine what fits best based on needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors techniques and pacing so therapy feels relevant and actionable for the individual or family.

Online therapy with Estela is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to engage in consistent care from home or another convenient location, allowing therapists and clients to focus on progress and practical steps toward the client’s goals.
