Destiny

Mrs Destiny Rattanapichetkul

Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist

“I practice both Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (focus is on unhealthy thoughts) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (focus is on emotional regulation).”

About me

I help individuals, couples, and families manage challenging thoughts and intense emotions. Through Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, we explore how unhelpful thinking patterns impact your life. With Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, I guide you in developing practical skills for emotional regulation. This approach is ideal for those seeking clarity and resilience in their relationships and personal well-being. I offer a supportive space for you to find new ways forward.

Approach

Balancing attention to thoughts and feelings, I guide sessions that alternate gentle inquiry with practical skill-building so you notice patterns and practice new responses. In my Monrovia office or over secure online video in English, sessions move at a steady, collaborative pace—brief experiments in-session, targeted practice between meetings, and clear psychoeducation when it helps. I use short exercises, role-based coaching, and check-ins to track what changes. This way of working tends to suit adults seeking clearer thinking, steadier mood, and more grounded relationships.
