About Amoreena
Amoreena Berg is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 18 years of experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, or life changes.
Background and approach
She also supports people dealing with relationship strain, parenting challenges, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, career transitions, and issues related to LGBT identity and bipolar disorder. Her style is warm and compassionate.
Sessions are collaborative and practical. She focuses on helping clients manage emotions and develop skills they can use right away.
Amoreena uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to teach concrete coping strategies. She balances talking about the past with building tools for present challenges.
The work is often hands-on, with specific exercises and steps to try between sessions. She has worked in many settings beyond independent practice, including schools, residential homes, and outpatient treatment programs.
That variety shaped her ability to adapt techniques to different needs and lifestyles. Amoreena earned a degree from the University of California, Santa Barbara and a master’s in psychology from Golden Gate University.
Outside of work she enjoys photography, exercise, and time with her family and dogs.
Therapeutic techniques and online care
Amoreena draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills people can use right away. One common approach she uses teaches emotion regulation and stress management skills to reduce anxiety and improve sleep; clients learn step-by-step techniques to soothe strong feelings and structure daily routines. Another approach emphasizes problem-solving and behavioral strategies to address depression, low motivation, and career or relationship concerns; it breaks larger problems into small, manageable steps and tests what works.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She collaborates with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences, and adjusts plans based on what helps most. Clients are invited to try strategies in real life and report back so therapy stays practical and goal-focused.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, brief skill coaching, or fitting support into a busy day. These options give flexibility to schedule sessions around work, school, and family life.
