Jan Rakoff is a licensed clinical social worker who provides therapy for clients working through anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, and difficult life transitions. Her work is grounded in compassionate listening, understanding each client’s situation, and helping people take practical next steps at a pace that feels manageable.
Couples therapy can help partners who feel stuck in repeated arguments, are emotionally distant, unsure how to communicate, or are uncertain about how to move forward together. Sessions provide space to slow the conversation down, understand each person’s experience, and work on healthier ways to communicate.
Anxiety can make it hard to rest, focus, make decisions, or feel present in daily life. Therapy can help you talk through worry, stress, intrusive thoughts, avoidance, panic symptoms, and the pressure of trying to keep everything together.
Depression can feel isolating, exhausting, or difficult to explain. You may feel unmotivated, disconnected, emotionally numb, or weighed down by negative thoughts. Therapy gives you a place to be honest about what you are experiencing and receive support without judgment.
Therapy usually begins with a conversation about what brought you in, what has been difficult lately, and what you would like help with. Sessions may involve identifying patterns, building coping tools, improving communication, processing painful experiences, or clarifying your next steps.
The process is collaborative. You can talk at your own pace, ask questions, and focus on the concerns that matter most to you.
You do not have to carry everything alone. If you are looking for counseling, therapy, or telehealth counseling services in Del Mar, contact Jan Rakoff, LCSW, to ask about availability and appointment options.
