About Virgen
Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-C, LCSW) with 10 years of experience. Virgen Garcia Figueroa helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem, grief, bipolar disorder, depression, coping with life changes, and ADHD. She conducts sessions in English and Spanish and is based in Florida.
Virgen uses practical, conversation-based methods. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to focus on the person's perspective. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking and change behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Motivational Interviewing are part of her approach when emotion regulation or motivation is a concern. Narrative and Solution-Focused techniques are used to reframe problems and set concrete steps.
In session she listens, asks reflective questions, and works with the client to set short-term goals. Sessions prioritize clear skills practice and straightforward strategies that can be used between meetings. Progress is tracked through small, measurable steps rather than vague plans.
She graduated with a Master of Social Work from Barry University in Miami, Florida. Her credentials include LCSW in Florida and Texas and LCSW-C in Maryland. These licenses reflect her professional standing across states and inform how she manages cases and referrals.
People choosing to work with her can expect bilingual care and a mix of talk therapy and skills work. Before booking, confirm current session formats and scheduling details through the platform's booking process.

How her methods translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding the person's perspective and tailoring conversations to what matters most to them. Online sessions can use this approach to keep discussions grounded in the client's immediate concerns and priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and then tests practical alternatives. Over video or phone, CBT can include worksheet work, behavioral experiments, and homework to practice new skills between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. Those skills can be taught incrementally and rehearsed during remote meetings to handle strong emotions and high-stress moments.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She will discuss needs, goals, and preferences with the client and adjust methods as those needs become clearer. Clients and therapist decide together what to try first and how to measure progress.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can help fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time, enabling shorter check-ins around work or school, or allowing audio-only conversations when video is not convenient. Ask about available session lengths and formats when you schedule to match therapy to your routine.
