Welcome to the BetterHelp community! My name is Estela Rodriguez Jebril, I am a Bilingual (Spanish) and Bicultural practicing licensed therapist in California. I am also a transformational coach. I have been providing psychotherapy for a wide variety of issues and populations for 10 years. I graduated from California State University of Long Beach in 2008 with a Master in Social Work. For five years, early in my clinical career, I did in-home family therapy with Medi-Cal recipients. I provide services to the elementary, middle school and high school at risk students and their families to help improve communication, improve problem-solving skills and help heal any trauma the student or family had experienced using a variety of therapeutic modalities. Since 2016, I have been working as an Independent Therapist in private practice and offering coaching, all online to women, families, adolescents and couples.
I would describe my approach as goal oriented, and client centered. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT). Both modalities are hands-on, practical approaches to problem-solving. CBT treatment usually involves efforts to change thinking patterns and or behaviors. The goals are to change patterns of thinking or behavior that are behind difficult situations, and so change the way they think and feel. This helps people identify faulty or unhelpful ways of thinking and learn better ways of coping with all the stressors life brings.
Challenges and painful times are part of the human experience. I understand seeking help can be a vulnerable step to take. Exploring the healing process or enriching one’s personal growth, first and foremost, requires establishing a trusting and an emotional supportive relationship. Change is not easy, and it is possible. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.

Estela is a kind, smart, driven, and extraordinarily brave person. She taught me so much about vulnerability, continuing to be creative even through particularly rough phases of depression/difficulty, believing in myself, and about life in general. I am so grateful to have crossed paths with her. I recommend her highly.

My experience with Estela was really good. She is really good at articulating the exact feeling and has a lot of wisdom that I admire. Through our couple sessions, she was able to help me shift my mindset further than when I started. She’s amazing!

Estela has been a wonderful guide through my mental health wellness journey. Over the past few months I have lived through some of the busiest and most stressful events both in my personal and work life while also revisiting traumatic memories while we worked through some of my childhood. Despite all this I have been able to cope better than I ever have thanks to skills and strategies Estela has taught me and I feel stronger and more resilient than I ever have before.

Estela has been nothing but encouraging and kind since our first session. As someone who has had a hard time opening up and getting help in the past, I felt comfortable opening up and being truthful in what I want to talk about in our sessions. She made it easy for me to want to work on myself, and after a couple of months, I feel like a new person, the person I've wanted to be.

Estela was extremely supportive and knew how/when to share personal experience to establish trust/connection. I really felt seen/heard and will be returning if/when needed in the future.

"For someone who has never done therapy before this moment, Estela has made the experience very easy for me. She is very kind, wise, and understanding. Whatever conflict I have, I know that she is truly there to help me. Because of her bright and open personality, she made me feel very comfortable and I appreciate her so much for that. You will not regret coming to her. Being as honest as you possibly can to her will allow you to get the best possible feedback from her. Truly enjoyed working with her!"

Estela really shows empathy and compassion during our sessions. I enjoy her guided meditations that she starts each session with, it really sets the tone of the meeting. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for someone they can trust.

I am so grateful for Estela's support and guidance. This was my first experience with therapy and I am so glad it was with Estela. She is a really patient and non-judgemental. She listened carefully to me and gave me really great insight on my emotions and how I should approach my various daily situations. I felt that she really cared about me and my growth and was always encouraging me. I liked that we used worksheets and how she provided me with practical tools that I can use everyday and to calm myself down on my own. I feel so much better about myself and my relationships after a few months of working with her and I have seen a notable change in how I view certain situations and how I react to them now compared to when I first started therapy. I am so thankful for Estela and all her help!

Estela is a dedicated counsellor who listens attentively, is able to respond with either anecdotal or empirical information, and has a plan to address any concerns I may have. I am very pleased with her service.

Estela was my first experience with therapy, and I couldn’t have been happier. She really made me feel so comfortable, and she successfully gave me the tools to deal with various daily situations. Additionally, she reinforced the importance of daily exercise and for the first time in my life, I have successfully established a daily exercise routine - this has changed my life. I couldn’t be more grateful for the tools Estela gave me. Thank you!
