Fluent in English and Spanish, Marcela provides therapy that honors cultural and personal identities while helping clients develop skills to manage symptoms and move toward their goals.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Marcela uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT typically involves learning practical skills to reduce symptoms of anxiety, stress, and low mood and to improve everyday functioning.

She also offers Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), an approach that supports processing and reducing the emotional intensity of distressing memories and experiences. EMDR can be helpful for people who continue to feel impacted by past events and want a structured method to work through those memories.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Marcela will work with each client to understand their needs, goals, and preferences and will recommend or adapt methods accordingly so treatment fits the individual.

Online therapy with Marcela is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited local options. These remote options make it easier to access consistent care from a licensed professional and to maintain progress while balancing work, family, or other commitments.
