About Brenda
Brenda Garcia is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people cope with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, ADHD, and life changes. She offers a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about painful feelings and begin to make sense of them. She listens first and follows the person’s lead to understand what matters most.
Sessions focus on practical steps as well as understanding patterns that keep problems going. Brenda encourages small changes that fit into daily life so progress feels manageable.
Background and approach
Her work draws on several approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. She also uses client-centered and psychodynamic ideas to understand emotions and relationships. Solution-focused techniques are used when people want targeted strategies and short-term plans.
Brenda brings ten years of experience to sessions and pays attention to struggles like addiction, trauma, eating concerns, impulsivity, bipolar mood swings, and relationship or communication problems. She supports people working through caregiver stress, attachment and abandonment issues, and forgiveness or shame-related concerns. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.
Brenda practices from Florida and provides therapy by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging so people can choose what fits their routine. Starting is simple: complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time to meet.
Practical approaches for online therapy and fit
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then commit to actions that reflect what matters. This approach can support anxiety, depression, and challenges like ADHD when focus and values help guide daily choices.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses clear, structured steps to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and is helpful for anxiety, mood concerns, and coping with stress.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide whether to emphasize skill-building, emotional exploration, or short-term solution work and can adjust that plan over time.
Online therapy offers practical options like video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people read facial expressions and use screen-based tools, phone works well when internet quality is low or for a focused check-in, and chat or messaging can fit quick check-ins or shorter exchanges between sessions. These formats make it easier to connect from different places and schedules while still working on concrete strategies and personal goals.
