Flexible Support Just Minutes Away
Carpinteria is a peaceful coastal town known for its relaxed pace, small-town feel, and beautiful ocean views. Locals and visitors alike enjoy walks along the bluffs, stops at the Seal Sanctuary, and browsing the shops and farmers markets downtown. While the city is a wonderful place to live and raise a family, it can sometimes be challenging to find certain services locally.
And while there are some great Carpinteria therapists, you might find that many offer only virtual sessions. At Riviera Therapy in nearby Santa Barbara, we provide both in-person and online therapy – giving you flexible options for your schedule, lifestyle, and comfort.
Some clients prefer to meet face-to-face, while others appreciate the convenience of working with an online therapist from home. At Riviera Therapy, you can choose either format – or alternate between them – as needed.
Our downtown Santa Barbara office is located just a short drive away and offers street and plenty of free parking. It’s an accessible option for those in Carpinteria seeking professional help and a wider range of counseling services than may be available locally.
Some Ways We Can Help
Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, or navigating a challenging time in your life, our therapists are here to support your growth. We work with clients on a wide range of issues, including:
Individual Therapy
Support for trauma, anger management, unresolved issues from the past, low motivation, and emotional pain. Our therapists help you build effective coping skills, restore function, and improve your overall well being.
Couples and Marriage Counseling
For couples dealing with troubled relationships, communication struggles, or disconnection, we offer couples therapy and marriage counseling guided by licensed professionals. Our team uses various modalities, including psychodynamic therapy, to support more connected and satisfying relationships.
Family Therapy
We work with families experiencing conflicts, life transitions, and communication breakdowns. A licensed family therapist can help your household build healthier ways of relating and functioning together.
Therapy for Children and Teens
Younger clients often need support navigating emotions, stress, and school or peer-related issues. Our therapists offer thoughtful, age-appropriate support to help kids and teens develop resilience, confidence, and better emotional regulation.
Online Therapy
Many clients prefer the convenience of virtual therapy. Virtual sessions allow you to receive support from a licensed therapist without the need to commute. Virtual therapy offers the same level of professionalism and confidentiality as in-person sessions, and it’s a great fit for individuals, couples, and families with busy schedules or mobility concerns. Our therapists are licensed to provide online therapy throughout the entire state or country, depending on local regulations and licensure requirements.
