About Guadalupe
Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California with 25 years of experience, Guadalupe Rios helps people with addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting concerns, and depression. She offers sessions in English and Spanish and accepts international clients. Guadalupe aims to make sessions straightforward and practical so parents and caregivers can get clear help fast.
Guadalupe uses several approaches to guide conversations and decisions. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice their thoughts and move toward what matters. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thinking and change unhelpful behaviors. Attachment-Based and Client-Centered ideas shape how she listens and responds in sessions.
In a typical session Guadalupe focuses on clear goals and small, usable steps. She talks through immediate concerns like managing cravings, coping after loss, or handling parenting stress. The work often includes learning new skills, setting short-term goals, and checking what does and doesn’t work.
Her background across 25 years includes a range of settings where people faced loss, trauma, and life transitions. That experience informs practical strategies for grief, end-of-life issues, immigration stresses, and problems tied to service work or military life. Guadalupe also addresses issues such as postpartum depression, seasonal affective disorder, and process addictions.
People who meet with her can expect direct talk about goals and regular follow-up on progress. To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the See online therapy options button.

Therapeutic approaches used in remote sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and pick actions that match their values. It is often useful for managing addiction urges, depression, and anxiety by focusing on meaningful goals rather than fighting every thought.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting and changing thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going. CBT is commonly used for depression, seasonal affective disorder, and process addictions by teaching concrete skills and small experiments to test changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Guadalupe will review your needs, goals, and preferences and collaborate on which methods to try. That choice can shift over time based on what helps most.
