Licensed clinical social worker Lauren Spinelli brings more than twelve years of clinical experience and over 17,000 hours of therapy and coaching to Good Talk Therapy, a psychotherapy practice based near Crown Point Dr Park in San Diego, CA 92109. She holds California license LCSW 82862 and earned her master's degree in clinical mental health from Boston College. What sets her practice apart is walk-and-talk therapy, an approach that moves sessions outdoors along the Pacific Beach shoreline and Mission Bay trails, combining light exercise, fresh air, and evidence-based psychotherapy into a single session. Clients working through anxiety or life transitions often pair these outdoor sessions with restorative bodywork at Bodywork by Masha, a complementary wellness provider in the Pacific Beach area. Spinelli specializes in anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, relationship challenges, life transitions, self-esteem, and perfectionism, tailoring evidence-based methods and action-oriented solutions to each individual. She offers virtual therapy throughout the state of California in addition to her in-person walk-and-talk format, making her accessible to clients well beyond San Diego County. Reviewers consistently praise her warmth, insight, and ability to create a nonjudgmental space, and her Google profile reflects a perfect 5.0-star average across 19 reviews. Those exploring the Crown Point neighborhood before or after a session can enjoy waterfront dining at Cafe Athena, a Mediterranean restaurant overlooking Mission Bay. Spinelli provides a complimentary 15-minute consultation for prospective clients and is available seven days a week from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m.
