About career therapy for people in Sunnyvale
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 Sunnyvale can work with a therapist whose books would otherwise be out of reach.
811 therapists match this page, all of whom name career 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.

Common questions
Can I get career coaching or therapy online if I live in Sunnyvale?
Yes. Therapists licensed in California can provide online services to clients in Sunnyvale. When comparing profiles, look for therapists who specifically mention career-related work, such as career transitions, job stress, or professional identity. Confirm the communication methods they use and whether they state experience with issues like burnout or workplace conflict.
How do I choose a therapist who understands my industry or career stage?
Look for therapists who list industry experience, specialties, or client populations that match your situation. Read descriptions of their approach to career work—some emphasize skills like resume transition, others focus on values clarification or leadership development. You can often compare therapeutic modalities and stated areas of focus to find a closer fit.
What should I expect when I start career-focused therapy online?
Expect an initial assessment of your goals, strengths, and stressors related to work. Therapists may use goal-setting, skills training, or exploration of values and identity. They often work on boundaries, coping strategies, and decision-making. The exact process varies by clinician, so use profiles to compare how each therapist describes their career-related methods.
