About Ligia
Ligia Pacheco Paz is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in California. She brings eight years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. Ligia speaks English and Spanish and aims to make first steps in therapy easier to take.
She focuses on building an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can speak freely about what matters to them. Sessions address self-esteem, motivation, confidence, and coping with life changes.
How Ligia works
Communication problems, forgiveness, guilt and shame, isolation, and self-love are additional areas she helps people work through. Ligia uses practical conversation and real-life strategies so clients can try small changes between sessions. She listens for patterns that keep people stuck and helps them test new ways of responding.
Progress is framed as gradual and tailored to each person’s pace and goals. Therapy may include short-term skill practice and longer work on core beliefs depending on need. Ligia supports people in naming priorities and finding manageable steps toward them.
She encourages honest feedback so the work stays relevant and useful. Appointments are offered through online formats that fit different schedules and lifestyles. Taking the first step is often the hardest part, and Ligia aims to make that step feel clear and possible.

Practical approaches and online sessions that fit daily life
Ligia draws on evidence-based techniques that focus on clear skills and steady change. One common approach she uses teaches stress and anxiety management skills such as breathing, grounding, and breaking problems into steps; these tools help when worry and overwhelm get in the way of daily routines. Another emphasis is on building self-esteem and healthier relationship habits by identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing different ways of communicating; this work supports people who want more confidence and better connection with others.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and the pace they want. Clients are encouraged to give feedback so techniques can be adjusted over time and stay useful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video is useful for a fuller conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to check in between longer sessions or when someone prefers writing. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and keep momentum between appointments.
