About Estela

Estela Rodriguez Jebril is a bilingual LCSW who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship and family challenges, grief, addictions, trauma and related concerns. She brings 15 years of clinical experience and offers practical, goal-minded support that blends emotional understanding with skills-based work.

Background and approach

Comfortable working in English and Spanish, she integrates approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Client-Centered Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Existential Therapy, and the Gottman Method to tailor care to each person’s needs. Her practice background includes in-home family therapy, school-based work with at-risk students and their families, and an independent independent practice providing online therapy and coaching.

Estela emphasizes developing a strong therapeutic relationship as the foundation for change, then uses structured techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and to build new coping strategies.

She also brings experience supporting people with intimacy and attachment issues, parenting and blended family struggles, grief and caregiver stress, eating and sleeping concerns, mood disorders such as depression and bipolar, ADHD, and challenges related to life transitions.

Located in California, Estela offers sessions in multiple formats and aims to collaborate with clients to set clear goals and practical steps toward improvement.

How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions

Estela commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy in her online work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens closely and helps clients access their own resources and solutions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy targets emotional patterns in relationships and is often used for improving communication, attachment, and intimacy concerns.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She works with clients to clarify goals and preferences, then adapts methods from these models to fit the person or couple’s needs rather than relying on a single method, so clients participate in deciding what feels most helpful.

Online sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to continue work between sessions. These formats provide flexibility for scheduling, allow for consistent contact when travel or other demands arise, and support a range of therapeutic activities from skill practice to emotionally focused conversations.
