About Corrie

Corrie O'Toole is a seasoned California therapist with 40 years of professional experience who brings steady, practical support to people facing a wide range of life challenges. She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) - CA LCSW 12317 - and offers clinical work addressing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and depression. Her practice also encompasses issues such as addictions, parenting struggles, eating and sleeping problems, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and work and career difficulties.

Corrie has particular expertise in couples therapy and in helping individuals and families navigate complex emotional experiences. She emphasizes an open, nonjudgmental environment where thoughts and feelings can be explored honestly, and where clients are treated with respect and empathy. Corrie combines relational and evidence-informed approaches to help clients clarify goals, build skills, and restore connection.

Recognizing that seeking help requires courage, she supports each person through the early steps of change and toward a more fulfilling, balanced life. Her approach is collaborative, attentive to individual circumstances, and focused on practical strategies that align with each client’s values and priorities.

Relationship-Focused and Mindfulness-Based Online Therapy

The Gottman Method concentrates on improving communication, conflict management, and emotional connection in couples. It uses structured tools and exercises to help partners understand patterns, strengthen friendship, and rebuild trust, often supporting couples working through recurring disagreements or disconnection.

Imago Relationship Therapy explores how early experiences shape expectations in intimate relationships and guides partners to communicate with curiosity and empathy. This approach helps couples address underlying hurts, improve listening, and create new ways of relating that reduce reactivity and increase partnership.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance of thoughts and feelings, which can reduce stress, support emotion regulation, and enhance coping for anxiety, grief, and chronic pain. Practices are simple and adaptable to daily life and therapeutic work.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Corrie works with clients to identify goals, preferences, and the methods that best fit their situation, adjusting techniques as progress and needs evolve.

Online sessions - by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - offer flexibility for busy schedules and for clients who live far from a therapist. These options make it easier to maintain regular sessions, integrate therapy into daily routines, and access professional support from different locations.
