About anger therapy for people in Berkeley
Everyone listed on this page holds a licence to practise in California and works online. That matters more than it sounds: a licence is issued by the state, not by a city, so a therapist is available to anyone in California regardless of how far away they are. Someone in Berkeley can work with a therapist whose books would otherwise be out of reach.
885 therapists match this page, all of whom name anger among the areas they work with. Fifteen are shown above. The list changes between pages, so it is worth looking at more than one if none of these feels like a fit.
What to compare
- Credential. LMFT, LCSW and LPCC are different training routes to the same licensed practice. None outranks the others; they shape emphasis rather than quality.
- Years in practice. Shown for every therapist here. More experience is not automatically better, but it is a fair proxy for how much of a given problem someone has seen.
- What else they work with. A therapist whose other focus areas overlap with your situation is usually a better starting point than one whose listed areas stop at the single thing you searched for.
- Approach. CBT, psychodynamic, solution-focused and the rest describe how sessions tend to run. If you have tried therapy before and it did not suit you, changing approach is often more useful than changing therapist.
- Language. Shown where a therapist offers sessions in more than English.
How online sessions work
Sessions run by video or by messaging, arranged through our partner platform rather than booked directly with the therapist. There is no travel and no waiting room, which for most people is the difference between starting and not starting. Pricing is set by the platform and shown before you commit.
Therapy in Berkeley
Berkeley has a population of about 124,321. Local in-person availability varies and waiting lists are common, which is part of why state-wide online practice has grown. Nothing on this page depends on a therapist being near you.
Common questions
Can an online therapist help me manage sudden outbursts of anger?
Yes, many therapists who work with anger offer online sessions focused on identifying triggers, developing coping strategies, and practicing de-escalation skills. You can ask a therapist about their approach to crisis moments, short-term stabilization techniques, and how they support practice between sessions to reduce the frequency and intensity of outbursts.
What should I look for in a therapist who treats anger issues?
Look for clinicians who list anger, impulse control, or emotional regulation among their specialties. Check their stated therapy approaches, such as CBT, DBT, or trauma-informed care, and whether they mention work with relationships or co-occurring issues like anxiety or substance use. Also compare session formats, languages, and any notes about working with adolescents or adults.
How do I know if a therapist is available to clients in Berkeley?
Profiles note whether a therapist is available to clients in Berkeley. Because licenses are statewide in California, therapists licensed here can offer online services to people in Berkeley. If availability isn’t clear, contact the clinician directly through the directory to confirm they are accepting new clients in your area and to ask about scheduling.
