About Marcela
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 11 years of experience, Marcela Gonzales helps adults managing anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, and life transitions. She offers virtual appointments and works with people across a range of concerns including LGBT issues, self-esteem, anger, and coping with change.
Marcela has worked in schools, hospitals, correctional settings, and community mental health. That variety shaped a practical approach to therapy. She focuses on concrete skills and strategies clients can use between sessions. Sessions emphasize clear goals and steady progress rather than vague promises.
Her practice includes attention to trauma and abuse, grief, and relationship concerns. She also supports people facing chronic illness, caregiver stress, aging and geriatric issues, and body image problems. Additional focus areas listed include first responder issues, domestic violence, and gender dysphoria among others.
Marcela uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and frames work as skill-building and coaching when useful. She aims to help people recognize patterns, practice new responses, and reduce symptoms that interfere with daily life. Short-term problem solving and longer-term work are both part of her offerings.
Sessions are available virtually; a range of insurance plans is accepted. The practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online options button.

How evidence-based techniques are used in virtual sessions
Marcela uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques aimed at practical change. For trauma-related concerns she focuses on stabilizing skills and coping strategies that reduce distress and increase safety in daily life. For mood and anxiety issues she works on identifying unhelpful thinking and on behavioral steps that rebuild activity and routine.These approaches are described plainly and adjusted in collaboration with each person. Marcela discusses options, explains what to expect from different techniques, and helps clients choose methods that match their goals and preferences. Decisions about pace and focus are made together during early sessions.
Practical benefits of virtual appointments include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and reducing travel time. Virtual work can make it easier to check in during a lunch break, attend from home when energy is low, or keep therapy consistent during life transitions. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Licensed professionals can guide how to use online sessions effectively for skill practice and short-term check-ins.
