About Marcela
Marcela Garcia is a licensed counselor (LCPC) based in Nevada who helps people facing depression, anxiety, stress, grief, and relationship or family strain. She speaks English and Spanish and emphasizes listening first so each person feels heard. Her focus is practical and strengths-based, aimed at helping people move toward clearer goals and better day-to-day coping.
She begins by getting to know a person's story and what they want from therapy. From there she collaborates with the person to choose approaches that match their needs. Those approaches may include client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, motivational interviewing, or solution-focused steps depending on the situation.
Marcela draws on 15 years of clinical experience to guide conversations about grief, caregiving stress, attachment and family-of-origin issues, feelings of emptiness or shame, and life transitions like midlife concerns or questions about purpose. She also addresses practical stressors such as money worries and multicultural concerns.
Sessions emphasize active listening, clear goal-setting, and teaching skills that can be used between appointments. She supports work on forgiveness, reducing loneliness or jealousy, and coping with hospice or end-of-life situations. Her style is collaborative and grounded in everyday language so people can use what they learn right away.
People who want a therapist who prioritizes their perspective and builds practical plans may find her approach helpful. She encourages small steps and highlights individual strengths during the work toward better routines and relationships.
