Alexandra (Ali) Poling, LCSW

My name is Ali and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based out of Carlsbad, Ca. I specialize in both traditional and third-wave Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). My style is warm, yet direct and my approach to treatment focuses on teaching skills to target specific symptoms, understanding and breaking the cycles of anxiety/depression/triggers and finding effective ways of coping with emotional pain. I have 10+ years of experience using this approach to treat severe anxiety and depression, complicated grief, trauma and PTSD. My background prior to starting my private practice was in higher levels of care, including facilitation of group therapy in specialized CBT Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOPs). I offer free 20-minute phone consultations to ensure we are a good fit to work together, please contact me to set up!
