About Zeree

Zeree Adams is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with 17 years of experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, bipolar disorder, depression, and life transitions. Her approach centers on practical steps people can use day to day.

In session she treats problems in plain language. She listens to what each person is actually facing and helps them identify small changes that make life more manageable. She uses exercises and conversations that focus on behavior, thinking patterns, and coping skills rather than long explanations.

She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and try different responses. Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools are used for emotion regulation and managing intense feelings. Mindfulness practices help slow down racing thoughts, and Internal Family Systems work can help people understand different parts of themselves that push and pull.

Zeree aims to make sessions practical. She helps people set clear goals, try out new ways of handling social situations, and build confidence in speaking up or meeting new people. When progress feels slow, she breaks goals into smaller steps and measures what helps.

Her California LMFT credential is listed up front, and she works in English. People who want to begin are asked to use the site steps to match and schedule an initial session, so paperwork and planning are clear before the first meeting.

How her approaches translate to online work

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. Online sessions can use worksheets, role plays, and homework to practice new responses to stressful social situations or anxiety triggers.

DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, offers concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. Those skills can be taught and practiced in session and then applied between meetings to manage intense feelings or improve communication in social settings.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and notice thoughts without immediately acting on them. These short practices can be used before speaking in public or entering a social situation to lower immediate tension.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose which methods to try based on needs, goals, and what feels comfortable. Plans are adjusted if something isn’t helping, so clients help shape the process.

Please confirm the therapist’s current online session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and make it simpler to continue regular work on skills between meetings.
