About Estela
Estela Rodriguez Jebril is a bilingual licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anger, anxiety, and relationship struggles. She speaks English and Spanish and offers practical, goal-focused support for issues like depression, trauma, parenting strain, and addictions. Estela uses straightforward tools to help people cope and make small changes that add up over time.
She brings 15 years of experience working in California settings. Early in her career she provided in-home family therapy and worked with students in elementary through high school to improve communication and problem-solving.
Background and approach
Since 2016 she has worked in independent practice and provided online coaching and therapy for adults, couples, and adolescents. Estela favors a client-centered stance that keeps each person’s goals in view. She pairs that with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and shift behaviors.
She also draws on Emotionally-Focused and existential perspectives when relationship patterns or life meaning are central concerns. Sessions are practical and hands-on. People can expect to set clear goals, practice skills between sessions, and revisit progress regularly.
She also uses elements of the Gottman Method when couples want concrete ways to improve communication and rebuild connection. Her combination of clinical work and transformational coaching helps people take steps toward better daily functioning. Estela aims to make therapy realistic and doable for busy lives.
She supports clients who want practical strategies for anger management, mood difficulties, parenting challenges, and life transitions.

How Estela’s approaches translate to online therapy
Estela uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and sleep or eating struggles because it breaks issues into thoughts, feelings, and actions to work on step by step.She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy when relationships or attachment patterns are central. EFT focuses on identifying emotional needs and shifting interaction patterns to build more stable connection and better communication between partners or family members.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Estela will talk with each person about goals and preferences and tailor a mix of methods to fit their needs. That collaborative process helps decide whether CBT, EFT, client-centered work, or a blend is the best path forward.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video lets therapists observe interaction and nonverbal cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works well for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing coaching-style contact between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, school, or caregiving duties.
