My name is Virgen Garcia. I am Licensed Clinical Social Worker licensed in Florida with 7 years of experience as a therapist. I graduated with my Masters in Social Work from Barry University in Miami, Florida. I speak both English and Spanish. I use different approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, solution focused therapy, client-centered, and motivational interviewing. I have experience working with individuals struggling with negative self-talk, low self-esteem, substance use, depression, anxiety, and history of trauma. It takes great courage to seek help to start your process for change, self-discovery, and healing. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support you. I look forward to working with you.
My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in meeting the client where they are and using reflective questions to guide sessions and change. I believe in treating everyone with respect and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
When working with me you can expect me to use different approaches such as Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy. You can expect to learn some skills and be encouraged to implement these skills during your daily life. At times I may provide worksheets which I feel may be beneficial for you to work on and for us to discuss.
All clients are different even when presenting with the same symptoms or diagnosis. Therefore, I always tailor my sessions based on the client not the presenting problems. During my years in practice I have become comfortable with many presenting problems such as anxiety, grief, depression, self-worth, trauma, and substance use.
