Callie Baquero , LMFT

Callie Baquero is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who helps people develop practical coping skills for everyday life. She emphasizes mindfulness and guides clients to recognize strengths and tools they already possess, encouraging sustainable habits that support emotional well-being. Callie often references the John Milton line "The mind is its own place and in itself can make a heaven of hell, a hell of heaven" to illustrate how perspective and inner work shape experience.

Her clinical focus includes women's issues, eating disorders, depression, anxiety, and marital or relationship concerns. In sessions she creates an empathetic, nonjudgmental space where clients can practice presence, challenge negative thinking, and build greater resilience. Callie frames therapy as a collaborative process, offering steady support while helping individuals move toward greater self-reliance.

In addition to her clinical work, Callie is a Pilates instructor and integrates a mind-body orientation into her approach. She believes that mental, emotional, and physical well-being are interconnected, and she incorporates this understanding into treatment to foster balance and self-compassion across life domains.

ACT and DBT-Informed Online Therapy Options

Callie uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify their values and learn practical ways to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while taking steps toward a meaningful life. ACT is useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions when moving forward matters more than eliminating discomfort.

She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to teach emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT techniques can be especially helpful for managing intense emotions, impulsivity, and relationship challenges.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Callie works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as therapy progresses so the work remains relevant and practical.

Online therapy with Callie is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules and differing comfort levels. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals and maintain consistent care from wherever clients are located, while accommodating varying communication styles and time constraints.
