About Therese
Therese Schmoll is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with 30 years of experience. She works with people who bring stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, depression, addictions, grief, and trauma. She also addresses issues around intimacy, parenting, sleep and eating problems, and career strain.
Her approach is practical and structured. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside attachment-based and client-centered methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors. Sessions focus on clear goals and small steps that can be practiced between meetings.
Therese draws on long experience in mental health and human services and a graduate degree in Clinical Psychology with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy from Pepperdine University. That background informs work with mood disorders, bipolar concerns, and patterns such as codependency or narcissistic dynamics.
She addresses life transitions like divorce, fertility challenges, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and career changes in a straightforward way. Therapy can include coaching elements to build coping skills, manage anger, and improve communication habits.
People who see her can expect a blend of talk and active strategies. She helps identify thinking patterns, tests new responses, and tracks progress. Sessions are meant to produce practical changes people can try in everyday life.
How her approaches translate to online work
Therese combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy in practical ways. CBT focuses on noticing thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce worry and improve mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and helps people try different ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental stance that helps people set their own goals and priorities.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review concerns, goals, and what feels most useful, then try approaches and adjust based on what helps. That process is ongoing rather than a fixed prescription.
