Marina Thomas, LCSW

Marina Thomas is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in California who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and major life transitions. She brings three years of clinical experience and prior work in child welfare to her practice, where she has observed how trauma, racism, and social and environmental injustices can disrupt family systems and individual well-being.

Marina became a clinician to support healing during life-altering experiences and to guide people through challenges that can feel overwhelming. Her work emphasizes understanding the root causes of distress, then translating that understanding into realistic goals and practical plans aimed at improving safety, daily functioning, and overall quality of life. She uses a collaborative, client-centered approach that invites clients to take an active role in their therapeutic journey.

Respect, sensitivity, and compassion are central to her style. Marina strives to create a nonjudgmental space for processing experiences, working toward meaningful goals, and strengthening self-efficacy. She supports clients in identifying the sources of their struggles and in implementing strategies that foster greater self-love, clearer communication, forgiveness, and a renewed sense of life purpose.

Marina recognizes that beginning therapy requires courage, and she affirms that first step toward seeking support. Her approach is steady and practical, aimed at empowering individuals to navigate change and rebuild a stronger sense of well-being.
