About Deyanira
Deyanira Garcia is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who helps people manage anxiety, stress, grief, depression, and trauma. She meets people where they are and focuses on building trust so someone can tell their story and feel heard. Sessions are conversational and practical, aimed at reducing symptoms and improving day-to-day coping.
She begins by listening and asking clear, intentional questions to understand thoughts, feelings, and values. That helps surface unaddressed emotions and patterns that keep someone stuck.
Background and approach
Deyanira then works with each person to challenge unhelpful narratives and build concrete skills for managing stress and strong emotions. Her background includes six years of clinical work in California supporting children and adults affected by trauma, abuse, neglect, and other life stressors.
She has experience helping young children with early emotional and behavioral signs as well as older children and adults who have experienced traumatic events. Her clinical perspective is informed by this range of experience. In sessions she focuses on pacing treatment to the person’s needs and goals.
Early meetings are used to share history, set goals, and practice a few coping tools. Over time she helps people process difficult experiences and strengthen self-care, communication, and emotional regulation skills. Deyanira provides services in English and Spanish and offers multiple online formats.
She emphasizes collaboration and respects each person’s pace while helping them take practical steps toward feeling better.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques are used in sessions to help people manage anxiety and trauma. One approach focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and narratives. This involves noticing automatic thoughts, testing them against real-world evidence, and practicing alternative ways of thinking to reduce worry and rumination. It can help with anxiety, depressive thinking, and self-criticism.Another common approach centers on processing strong emotions and past experiences. This work helps people tell their story, name the feelings tied to events, and gradually make different meaning of those memories. It supports recovery from trauma, grief, and other painful experiences.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. Methods may be adjusted over time based on what is helpful and what a person prefers.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care flexible. Video works well when visual cues matter, phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit sessions into work, school, or home routines and to keep therapy consistent over time.
