About Kianna

Kianna Romero is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California with three years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem struggles, and depression. Kianna also lists blended family issues among her focus areas, along with caregiving and aging concerns, chronic illness, and relationship and communication problems.

She uses culturally humble, affirming care that recognizes each person's background and identity. Kianna is attentive to the experiences of LGBTQ+ people and people of color, and she describes sensitivity around women's health concerns such as postpartum depression and body image. Sessions are collaborative and person-centered, with attention to what matters most to each client.

In practice she helps people talk through practical challenges and emotions. That can mean working on coping skills for stress and anxiety, grounding and safety after traumatic experiences, or managing grief responses. She also helps clients weigh decisions and communicate more clearly during life transitions like divorce or forming a blended household.

Kianna brings experience with long-term health issues, end-of-life concerns, and the effects of chronic pain or illness on daily life. She aims to help people strengthen relationships and rebuild a sense of self-worth after setbacks.

Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. Her office base is in California and she holds a CA LCSW credential. For people wanting to try therapy, she asks that they complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to begin.

Approaches used and what online work looks like

Kianna describes her practice as grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques that prioritize practical skills and personal meaning. One common approach emphasizes coping and emotion regulation skills to manage anxiety and stress, teaching concrete strategies people can use between sessions. Another approach focuses on trauma-informed care, using grounding and stabilization techniques to help people feel safer and reduce reactivity while processing difficult memories.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Kianna will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, history, and daily life. She adjusts strategies as needs change and checks in regularly about what is helping and what is not.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and reduce travel time. It also lets people join from wherever they are located in California while coordinating with work, caregiving, or health appointments. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and communication styles to make remote sessions practical and focused on everyday problems.
