About Virgen
Virgen Garcia Figueroa is a licensed clinician in Florida who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and addictive behaviors. She also supports people coping with trauma, grief, anger, bipolar symptoms, low self-esteem, ADHD, and life transitions. She speaks English and Spanish and brings ten years of experience to her work.
Her style is warm and interactive. She meets people where they are and uses reflective questions to guide conversations. Sessions are tailored to each person's goals and needs rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan.
Background and approach
She draws on several practical approaches. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers skills for emotional regulation and managing strong feelings.
Client-centered methods keep the person's own priorities and perspective at the center of the work. She also uses motivational interviewing to support readiness for change and narrative techniques to help people reframe their stories. These methods are combined to address concrete problems like negative self-talk, substance use, or overwhelming anxiety.
People can expect a respectful, compassionate tone in sessions and a focus on small, achievable steps. The therapist works with each person to build skills, track progress, and adjust the plan as needs shift. Virgen welcomes clients who are ready to take active steps toward change.
Approaches that translate well to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's own goals and perspective; the therapist follows the client's lead and creates a respectful, supportive space for change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical strategies to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes skills for managing intense emotions and improving coping, which can be useful for stress, anxiety, and mood instability.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose and adjust methods based on a person's problems, goals, and preferences. That means trying strategies, checking what helps, and shifting focus when different tools are needed.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide flexibility for different situations. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and skills practice. Phone sessions can fit into a work break or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, tracking progress, or when writing feels easier than talking. These options make it simpler to fit care into a busy life while continuing steady therapeutic work.
