Who is Ariel Escobedo, LCSW? Ariel Escobedo is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a private practice in Southeast Los Angeles County. He works with young adults and adults who want to improve their mental health and overall well-being. Many of his clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed by stress, experiencing low mood, or struggling with anxiety related to relationships, work, or life transitions. Ariel values a collaborative therapeutic process in which clients help guide their treatment. His approach integrates Internal Family Systems, attachment-based therapy, strengths-based perspectives, and other complementary frameworks.

Ariel encourages clients to look more deeply into their emotional reactions, thought patterns, and behaviors to develop greater self-understanding. He also teaches practical coping strategies—including mindfulness practices—to help clients manage stress and regain a sense of balance when they feel overwhelmed. Ariel earned his Master’s degree from the University of Southern California in 2002. Since then, he has gained extensive clinical experience across a variety of mental health settings. He has been in private practice since 2021 and has been licensed as a mental health clinician in California since December 2007 and in Nevada since October 2025.
