Marcela Garcia , LCPC

Marcela Garcia is a licensed clinical professional counselor in Nevada who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, and family challenges. She greets clients with a calm, straightforward approach and aims to make the first steps feel manageable. Marcela speaks English and Spanish and brings 15 years of counseling experience to each session.

She begins by listening closely to a person's story and hearing what matters most to them. From there she works together with the client to set clear goals and choose methods that match those goals. Marcela emphasizes practical tools and steady support rather than long lists of jargon.

Her work covers a broad range of concerns that often overlap, such as attachment and abandonment worries, caregiver stress, family of origin issues, loneliness, and life transitions. She also addresses issues like guilt, shame, forgiveness, and questions about life purpose and money stress. Marcela adapts her approach based on what each person needs in the moment.

Therapy sessions include listening, asking helpful questions, and teaching coping skills that people can use between appointments. She draws on approaches such as client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior ideas, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused strategies. This mix helps people practice new ways of thinking and behaving while staying grounded in their own values.

Marcela focuses on meeting people where they are and highlighting their strengths. She aims to make therapy a collaborative process so clients feel heard, understood, and more equipped to move forward.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead so they feel understood and respected; it helps when someone needs space to tell their story and find their own answers. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify patterns of thinking and behavior that keep stress, anxiety, or low mood going, and then practices small, concrete changes to those patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers skills for managing strong emotions, tolerating distress, and improving relationships when feelings feel overwhelming.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adapt the plan as progress is made or new needs arise.

Online formats can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be simpler for quick check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief updates, skill coaching, or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options offer flexibility so therapy can happen around work, caregiving, or other commitments.
