Marcela Garcia , LCPC

Marcela Garcia is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) based in Nevada with 15 years of professional counseling experience. She works with people navigating depression, stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, and grief, and she brings particular experience supporting caregivers and those facing dementia-related challenges. Her practice also addresses issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, family-of-origin concerns, guilt and shame, isolation, and questions about life purpose and midlife transitions.

Marcela begins by learning each person’s story and clarifying their goals for therapy, then collaborates to tailor interventions that fit individual needs. She emphasizes attentive listening and consistent support, grounded in the belief that each person is the expert on their own life and carries strengths that can help them move through challenges. Marcela draws on structured approaches when helpful while keeping the relationship and the client’s priorities central to the work. Taking the first step toward greater fulfillment often requires courage, and she aims to highlight strengths and offer practical guidance as clients pursue meaningful change.

She provides services in both English and Spanish and holds Nevada licensure as an LCPC, supporting people from diverse backgrounds through thoughtful, goal-oriented care.

Approaches That Guide Online Care

Marcela Garcia integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) into her online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on building a respectful, empathic relationship and helping people explore their own goals and values - it is useful for improving self-understanding and strengthening motivation for change. CBT is a skills-based approach that helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, often benefiting those managing anxiety, depression, and stress. DBT combines acceptance and change strategies and teaches practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving relationships, which can be especially helpful for intense emotions and relationship conflicts.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Marcela works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts strategies over time so the work remains relevant and effective.

Online therapy with Marcela is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and access for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to fit consistent care into daily life while maintaining the same therapeutic focus and professional support as in-person work.
