I work with adults experiencing anxiety and depression, including overthinking, low motivation, feeling overwhelmed, and a loss of interest in daily life.

Many of my clients come in feeling mentally exhausted, stuck in their thoughts, or unsure why things feel harder than they should. I work with adults of all ages, but I have a strong understanding of the challenges that often come up in early adulthood and major life transitions.

My goal is to help you better understand what’s going on and give you a clear, realistic path forward.

Sylvia Luu

Therapist

Virtual • California


Hello, I’m Sylvia, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and psychotherapist. I work with adults navigating anxiety, burnout, perfectionism, relationship challenges, major life transitions, and questions about identity and self-esteem. Many are capable and high-functioning on the outside, but privately exhausted, stuck in patterns they can’t seem to change, or sensing something is off even when life looks “fine” on paper.


I earned my degree from the University of Chicago and have been in practice for over six years. My work is informed by both clinical training and lived experience, and I help clients make sense of the patterns keeping them stuck, so meaningful change becomes possible.

Reaching out for help can be a BIG deal and I am here to make therapy a space where you can grow, be challenged, and learn how to live a life YOU are happy with. Have you been feeling an increase in Anxiety? Are you a young adult trying to navigate the world and figuring out where you fit? How about someone experiencing substance misuse? These are the areas I get excited to help people manage. My goal is to help you gain the control you deserve to have over your own life.

Have you considered talking to someone but you’re not sure where to start? As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I am trained in working with people and specialize in young adults, as well as treating co-occurring disorders. I believe individuals experiencing addiction are often times also managing mental health symptoms. I treat the WHOLE person.

I have over 10 years of experience working with both adults and youth. I'm licensed in California and have been trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness.
