About Marianna
Marianna Birdsong is an LCSW who helps adults manage depression, anxiety, stress, and big life changes. She focuses on practical steps people can use day to day. Sessions aim to clarify what’s most important and build tools for coping and decision making.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy to create a space where people feel heard and respected. These methods are adjusted to fit each person's situation and goals.
Marianna brings eight years of experience to her work. Before becoming an LCSW she worked as an Emergency Medical Technician and as a peer counselor. Those roles shaped how she supports people under stress and in crisis.
In sessions she helps people tackle issues like self-esteem, career concerns, compassion fatigue, and relationship communication problems. She also addresses challenges such as body image, feelings of emptiness, and problems veterans or first responders may face.
She offers care in English and Hungarian and practices in California. People begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling based on therapist availability. The focus is practical change and clearer next steps, rather than long explanations or jargon.
