Krista Arrington, LCSW

Krista Arrington is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California with 30 years of experience in community-based outpatient programs and public school settings. She works with adults who want practical change through goal setting, problem solving, and steady progress checks. People often come to her for relationship strain, grief, parenting questions, stress, anxiety, and patterns that leave them putting others first.

Her approach is direct and thoughtful. She combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy with family systems ideas and positive behavioral supports. Sessions focus on spotting unhelpful patterns, testing small changes, and building simple habits that reduce stress and improve daily functioning.

Krista has worked with a wide range of concerns over three decades. That includes depression, bipolar disorder, sleep problems, intimacy issues, and coping with life changes. She also brings experience with learning disabilities, neurodiversity, and special education-related parenting dynamics.

Clients who live around someone else’s drinking, struggle with people-pleasing, or feel lost in relationships often seek help for codependency-related patterns. Krista helps people identify those dynamics and practice clearer boundaries and communication skills without judgment.

She uses straightforward, evidence-based techniques and sometimes adds light humor during sessions. The work is collaborative: setting goals together, checking progress, and adjusting strategies as needed.
