Dr. Marcela Mejia , VA Psychologist 0810007195, FL Psychologist PY10641

Dr. Marcela Mejia is a bilingual psychologist who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, and relationship concerns. She works with adults on mood problems, trauma, addictions, and challenges that can come with parenting or career change. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and conducted from Florida where she is licensed to practice.

With 25 years of clinical experience, she draws on practical approaches to help people manage symptoms and reach concrete goals. She emphasizes teamwork in therapy and focuses on building a working relationship that supports change. Sessions center on developing coping skills, improving communication, and addressing the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going.

Her background includes work in both clinics and private practice settings. That variety has given her experience with many common mental health concerns, including depression, bipolar issues, trauma-related problems, and addiction. She pays attention to each person’s life stage and context when planning treatment.

Dr. Mejia uses several therapeutic approaches to match what a person needs. She blends structured strategies that target thinking and behavior with therapies that focus on emotions and personal values. This mix lets her tailor care to the individual and to whatever goals they bring to therapy.

People who choose her can expect a supportive, practical way of working. The aim is to reduce distress, increase skills for coping, and help people reconnect with what matters to them. She encourages small, steady changes that add up to meaningful progress.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small steps that align with those values. It can help when worry or avoidance keeps you from the life you want. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thinking and try practical experiments to change behavior and mood. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and many day-to-day struggles. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding and shifting emotional responses in close relationships and can aid with intimacy and communication issues.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your concerns, discuss which methods may help, and adjust the plan as you go. Together you set goals and choose tools that fit your needs, goals, and preferences rather than sticking to a single technique.

Online therapy offers flexibility to fit sessions into busy lives. Video calls let you work face to face when that’s helpful. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when you need a shorter check-in. Live chat or text-based messaging can support brief check-ins, homework follow-up, or ongoing coaching between longer sessions. These options make it simpler to keep momentum and practice skills in real life.
