About Edgar
Edgar Dario Rondon is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California with eight years of professional experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, LGBTQ+ related concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression, and lists social anxiety and phobia among his areas of focus.
He speaks both English and Spanish. Sessions begin with straightforward conversation about what is most pressing. He aims to make it easier to name what feels difficult and decide what to try next.
In sessions he listens for patterns that keep problems repeating. He works with people to test small changes and notice what happens. That can include practicing ways to handle panic or fear in social situations, learning steps to manage seasonal mood shifts, or talking through experiences of injustice and discrimination.
His approach is practical and action-focused. Sessions often include short exercises, clear feedback, and check-ins on progress. He helps people set small, measurable goals so they can see whether a strategy is working.
Edgar also supports people dealing with issues related to HIV/AIDS, sexuality, emptiness, life purpose, and self-love. He encourages realistic steps and regular follow-up. To begin, he asks people to describe current struggles and what they hope to change.
How therapeutic approaches and online sessions fit together
Edgar lists evidence-based therapeutic techniques as his orientation. Two common, practical approaches he often uses are cognitive strategies and exposure-type work. Cognitive strategies focus on spotting unhelpful thoughts, testing whether they are accurate, and trying alternative ways of thinking; these methods often help with anxiety, panic symptoms, and low mood. Exposure-type work involves gradual, planned practice facing feared situations in small steps so reactions can be observed and managed, which is useful for social anxiety and specific phobias.Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. He works with each person to decide which techniques match their goals, current stressors, and how much time they can commit. Changes are reviewed regularly and plans are adjusted together if something is not helping.
The practical advantages of online work can include fitting sessions into a busy week and keeping appointments that might otherwise be hard to reach. This can make it easier to use short weekly check-ins or longer sessions when needed. The exact session formats available should be confirmed before booking, as the biography does not specify formats. Edgar helps people match a session rhythm to daily life so therapy can be sustained alongside work and other commitments.
