About Maricela
As a first-generation Latina, Maricela brings an awareness of generational and cultural influences to her therapeutic work. She encourages careful exploration of family history and cultural context as a way to better understand identity and patterns that affect wellbeing. That perspective informs her gentle, strengths-based approach and her commitment to making each client feel that their story matters.
Maricela believes the person in therapy is the expert in their own life and partners with clients to increase self-awareness and foster healing. She combines clinical training with compassion to support people navigating grief, guilt and shame, isolation, social anxiety, and other concerns, helping them move toward recovery and meaningful change.
Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Maricela Nunez integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy into her online practice. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and social phobia. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and practical strategies to manage stress, rumination, and feelings of isolation.
She also brings trauma-focused principles into her work, helping clients explore and process the effects of past traumatic experiences at a pace that feels manageable. These approaches are applied with attention to cultural and generational influences, especially when grief, guilt, or shame are present.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Maricela works with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made. Licensed professionals, including therapists, can offer a range of techniques and will guide clients toward approaches that fit their situation.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions may take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - which can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to access care from home or elsewhere. This variety allows Maricela to tailor interactions to what works best for each client while maintaining therapeutic continuity.
