Jerry Ochoa, LPCC, BICBT-CC
LPCC, BICBT-CC, CBT Therapist — Licensed in California
Hey, I'm Jerry — a licensed CBT-certified therapist specializing in cognitive behavioral therapy for adults. For over 10 years and 1,000+ sessions, I've helped people from diverse backgrounds navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, anger, and life transitions.
“When you begin to recognize the patterns that trip you up, and understand the beliefs and emotions behind them, your life begins to change.”
I became a psychotherapist because therapy is not only a powerful instrument of healing, but also a catalyst for growth and purpose. Using and modeling CBT, I'm passionate about helping adults confront and overcome self-defeating patterns — because CBT is not "just think positive." It's about noticing unhelpful thought patterns, understanding what's driving them, and building practical tools for lasting change.

CBT with me is collaborative, structured, and practical — focused on real change you can feel in daily life, not endless talking without direction.
