About Estela
Estela Rodriguez Jebril is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, parenting challenges, and other life concerns. She works with individuals on addiction, mood changes, trauma, sleep and eating issues, and identity-related concerns. Estela speaks English and Spanish and draws on 15 years of clinical experience in California.
Her style is direct and practical. Sessions focus on clear goals and step-by-step strategies. She uses a client-centered stance that keeps the person's priorities front and center while offering tools that can be used between sessions.
Background and approach
Estela blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with Emotionally-Focused and Gottman ideas when relationships are involved. That means she will help people recognize unhelpful thought patterns, practice new ways of responding, and build clearer communication habits. She also considers meaning and values when people face major life changes.
Her background includes community and in-home work early in her career and many years in independent practice. Estela has supported students, parents, caregivers, and adults through trauma recovery, communication struggles, and transitions. She draws on hands-on techniques and coaching to foster lasting changes.
Clients can expect practical exercises, conversational exploration, and collaborative planning. Estela aims to make progress feel manageable by breaking goals into small steps. She encourages people to bring real-life problems from home or work into sessions so they can practice new skills and notice change.

How her approach works online
Estela commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy in her online work. CBT helps people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and skill practice, which is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep, and eating concerns. EFT focuses on emotional patterns in relationships and helps people name feelings, express needs, and rebuild connection when trust or closeness has been strained.Finding the right blend of methods is part of the work. Estela will collaborate with each person to choose approaches that fit their goals and preferences. She begins by talking about what matters most, then suggests techniques and checks in on what feels helpful so the plan can be adjusted together.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets people practice communication skills with visual cues. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or for a focused check-in. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief coaching, tracking progress, or staying connected between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy family and work schedules.
