About Marcela
Marcela Garcia welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, or changes in relationships and family life. She introduces herself plainly and listens first to understand each person’s story, strengths, and goals. Marcela uses that information to shape sessions that match what each person actually needs.
Marcela holds an NV LCPC, which means she is licensed in Nevada as a clinical professional counselor. She has fifteen years of experience helping people cope with depression, caregiver strain, and the emotional toll of illness and loss.
Background and approach
She also supports work on attachment concerns, family-of-origin issues, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. In sessions she combines clear tools with a respectful, person-focused manner. She draws on cognitive behavioral strategies to spot and change unhelpful thinking.
She uses solution-focused techniques to set small, achievable goals. Dialectical behavior ideas help when emotions feel intense or overwhelming. Marcela speaks English and Spanish and pays attention to cultural background when it matters to a person’s concerns.
She frames therapy as a partnership where the client’s priorities lead the way. Her aim is to make progress practical and steady. People who choose her work together on concrete steps for daily life, from managing anxious thoughts to navigating family conflict and grief.
Marcela supports parents and caregivers through role strain and end-of-life challenges, helping them find clearer choices and small routines that ease pressure.
Therapeutic approaches that translate online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person’s story before deciding what to try. It helps people feel heard and lets sessions reflect their goals and pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches simple ways to notice patterns of thinking that fuel anxiety or low mood and then practice alternatives to change daily behavior and feelings. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving coping during crisis moments.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust as needed. That shared decision-making helps make each session useful and relevant to real-life problems.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging makes it easier to fit help into a busy life. Video lets people use visual cues and longer conversation time. Phone can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging suit quick check-ins, brief coaching, or when written reflection helps. These options offer flexibility so people can work on stress, family concerns, grief, or anxiety in ways that fit their schedules and daily routines.
