About Zeree

Zeree Adams is a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 17 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, depression, and coping with life changes. Zeree frames clients as experts in their own stories and draws on their strengths during therapy.

She uses straightforward talk therapy with practical skills. Sessions often include noticing thought patterns, trying new coping strategies, and practicing emotional regulation. Zeree brings approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, and parts work into conversations to help people clarify what they want to change.

Clients who feel burdened by guilt, shame, or long-standing self-criticism may find sessions aimed at understanding those feelings useful. Work can include tracing how those feelings started, testing unhelpful beliefs, and building small experiments to act differently in daily life. Zeree helps people name where strong emotions come from and how they affect choices.

She also supports people dealing with identity and attachment questions, issues tied to adoption or foster care, caregiver stress, and body image concerns. Practical problem solving and steady check-ins are a common part of her approach. The goal in sessions is clearer thinking and more options, not quick fixes.

To begin, Zeree asks people to describe their current struggle and what matters most to them. From there she and the person work out which tools to try and how to fit them into everyday life.

Therapeutic approaches and working online

Zeree commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness as core tools. CBT looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches practical steps to test and change unhelpful thinking. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase awareness of present-moment experience.

She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills to help with emotion regulation and distress tolerance. DBT-based skills are concrete tools for managing intense feelings, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and grounding during crises.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Zeree collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their goals and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made. That means trying ideas, checking how they land, and changing course when needed.

Confirm the exact online session options before booking because formats were not specified in the biography. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine, allow shorter check-ins when helpful, and reduce travel time. Discussing session length, camera use, and scheduling needs helps shape practical arrangements that fit everyday life.
