Background and approach
This might mean short-term problem solving or a longer path to understanding long-standing patterns. Her work often addresses attachment and abandonment concerns, caregiving strain, family of origin issues, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. She also helps people facing guilt, shame, midlife questions, and financial stressors.
Hospice and end-of-life counseling are among the areas she can support. Marcela uses approaches that emphasize the client’s perspective and active skills practice. She offers tools for managing anxious thoughts, regulating strong emotions, and setting achievable goals.
The focus is on real-world change that can be practiced between sessions. People who choose her can expect calm, direct listening and collaboration on clear steps forward. She highlights strengths and builds on what already works in someone’s life.
Marcela aims to help people move toward more stable mood and clearer relationships in ways that fit their daily routines.
How Marcela’s Approaches Work Online
Marcela often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, with clear exercises to practice between meetings that help reduce anxious thinking. Client-Centered Therapy centers on the person’s experience and priorities, giving space to be heard while the therapist helps clarify goals and next steps.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotional regulation and distress tolerance when strong feelings are present. DBT skills teach concrete techniques to manage intense emotions and improve interpersonal responses in stressful moments.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose or combine methods based on a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. Initial sessions are used to learn what matters most and to try approaches that fit the client's life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people read facial cues and practice skills in real time, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, skill coaching, or when a written record of tools and steps is helpful. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules.
