Hi, my name is Arturo Vargas. I have a passion for helping those in need. My experience as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW 27705) has allowed me the opportunity to work with children, youth and adults suffering from trauma and other life challenges such as depression, anxiety or conflict with important relationships.
I use a client-centered perspective that is integrative, collaborative, and recovery-based (i.e., incorporates client's strengths as opposed to solely focusing on negatives or pathology). This provides a safe space for clients to feel heard, understood, and respected. I use strategies for proven techniques such as Person-Center Therapy, Solution Based Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I support clients in building positive communication, fostering meaningful relationships, practicing appropriate social skills, utilizing healthy coping strategies, and to establish and maintain healthy boundaries within a culturally sensitive approach in order to generate lasting interpersonal change.
I am bilingual and bicultural. I support BIPOC and the LGTBQ&Q community. I work to ensure that our sessions will be tailored to your needs and goals. I’m available for online therapy sessions with individuals anywhere in the state of California. I look forward to meeting you and working toward improving your wellbeing.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
