Callie Baquero , LMFT

Callie Baquero is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Florida who helps people find steadier footing during stressful seasons. She focuses on practical coping skills and mindful habits that can be used in everyday life. Callie aims to make therapy feel useful and approachable for people worried about anxiety, depression, body image, relationship strain, or changes after childbirth.

Her work centers on helping clients notice patterns and use tools they already have. She draws on mindfulness and a mind-body perspective to help people reconnect with their values and calm. Sessions often emphasize simple practices that translate into daily routines rather than abstract theories.

Callie brings nine years of clinical experience to her practice and blends therapeutic methods that encourage acceptance and present-moment awareness. She also incorporates elements that support emotional regulation and distress tolerance. This mix is aimed at helping people manage impulses, cravings, or overwhelming emotions without judgment.

Because she values movement and bodily awareness, Callie integrates a mind-body connection into many sessions. That can include breathing strategies, grounding exercises, or practices that pair physical awareness with emotional skills. Her background as a pilates instructor informs this aspect of care.

Callie works with issues commonly faced by women, including postpartum mood concerns, body image and self-love, as well as young adult challenges and grief. She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients through online formats.

How ACT and DBT translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values. Online sessions can help people practice these choices and build routines that feel meaningful. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving relationships. These skills translate well to remote formats where people can learn, practice, and use tools between sessions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try approaches that fit the problem, and adjust based on what helps. Together they decide whether ACT, DBT, or a blend works best for the person and their daily life.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules and for people who live far from providers. Video calls let therapists observe facial cues and body language, phone sessions work when lower bandwidth or a shorter check-in is needed, and live chat or text-based messaging allow quick check-ins or ongoing written support. These options make it easier to integrate skill practice into real-world moments and to get help when life is hectic.
