Marcela Garcia, LCPC

Marcela Garcia is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) practicing in Nevada with 15 years of experience supporting adults and families through difficult life transitions. She works with depression, anxiety, stress, relationship and family concerns, grief and loss, caregiving and dementia-related challenges, and issues related to self-esteem. Her practice also addresses deeper patterns such as abandonment and attachment concerns, family of origin dynamics, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, and struggles around life purpose and midlife change.

Marcela begins by taking time to understand each person’s story and goals for therapy, then collaborates to tailor interventions that best fit individual needs. She uses active listening and compassionate support as foundations for care, believing that people are the experts of their own lives and that their strengths can be leveraged to overcome challenges. Clients can expect a strengths-based, respectful approach that honors each person’s experience while exploring practical ways to move forward.

Recognizing that seeking help is a courageous step, Marcela aims to create a space where clients feel heard and valued as they pursue a more fulfilling and balanced life. She emphasizes partnership in the therapeutic process and looks forward to supporting clients as they identify goals and build on their resilience.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Marcela uses client-centered therapy to build a collaborative and respectful relationship that begins with listening to each person’s story and priorities; this approach helps people feel understood and supports self-directed growth. She also employs cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and developing practical skills to manage symptoms like anxiety, depression, and stress. In addition, Marcela integrates elements of dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) when needed - DBT teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills useful for intense emotions and relationship challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Marcela works together with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Treatment plans are adapted over time so therapy remains relevant and effective for each person.

Online therapy with Marcela is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexible options that fit different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access consistent care from licensed professionals while balancing work, family, and caregiving responsibilities, allowing clients to focus on progress in ways that suit their daily lives.
