About Deginesh
LMHC, LPCC in California with 30 years of experience, Deginesh Worku focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, self-esteem, and depression. She uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people talk through current struggles and find practical steps forward.
Deginesh listens for the problems people name and starts there. She offers straightforward sessions where clients describe what’s happening now and set small, achievable goals. Conversations often include noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. Sessions are paced to match what the person can manage each week.
Her work addresses communication problems, control issues, forgiveness, questions about life purpose, and building self-love. She also supports people who want to talk about faith and how it fits into daily concerns. The emphasis is on clear tools and personal strengths rather than jargon or lengthy theory.
Over three decades of practice have shaped a pragmatic way of working. Deginesh draws on CBT techniques to interrupt negative thought patterns. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions focused on the client’s perspective and choices. Together these approaches aim to reduce symptoms while improving everyday coping.
Sessions are a collaborative process. Clients leave with concrete steps to try between meetings and a plan for what to work on next. People interested in starting are asked to complete a matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to begin the process.

Therapeutic methods used in remote sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's perspective. It involves attentive listening and reflecting what the person says so they can find their own solutions. This approach helps when someone needs a space to sort out feelings, values, or faith questions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and actions influence mood. Sessions use simple exercises to identify unhelpful thinking and to test new behaviors that reduce anxiety or low mood. CBT is practical for stress, worry, and low self-esteem.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which method or combination fits their goals and preferences. That choice can shift as progress is made or priorities change.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats. Please confirm which formats are offered before booking. In general, remote sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. The focus is on finding routines that integrate with everyday life rather than on a particular delivery method.
