About Marcela

Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 3 years of clinical experience, Marcela Hernandez Garcia helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes. She speaks English and Spanish and works with adults dealing with mood and coping concerns. Her practice emphasizes practical conversations and realistic steps people can use between sessions.

Marcela focuses on clear, direct dialogue about what is happening now and what a person wants to change. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and develops a treatment plan based on each person's goals. Sessions cover problem identification, skill building, and short-term strategies to reduce distress.

She also addresses relationship and social stresses that affect daily life, such as blended family issues, communication problems, workplace challenges, and isolation or loneliness. Additional areas include substance use concerns, forgiveness, guilt and shame, immigration-related stress, prejudice and discrimination, jealousy, and questions about life purpose and self-love.

Marcela adapts language and pacing for English- and Spanish-speaking clients. Her approach is straightforward: set a goal, try an intervention, and check progress. People can expect clear explanations of steps to try between sessions and regular review of what is working.

To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Cost varies with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. International clients are not accepted at this time.

Approaches explained and what online sessions involve

Marcela uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical skill building. One common approach is straightforward cognitive work that helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and practice different responses. This method can help with anxiety, low mood, and self-critical thinking.

Another typical focus is behavioral strategies that change daily routines and reactions. These techniques involve small experiments and new habits to reduce anger, manage stress, and improve confidence. They are useful when someone needs concrete steps to feel steadier day to day.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Marcela will discuss options, try an approach for a period, and adjust based on how a person responds. She figures out what fits with each client's goals, needs, and preferences rather than assuming one method will work for everyone.

Confirm current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, cut travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people join from different locations within the therapist's service area, while the therapist and client decide together how sessions will be scheduled and structured.
