About Marcela
Marcela Fernandez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 13 years of experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, depression, coping with life changes, relationship and family concerns, parenting challenges, self-esteem, career questions, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. Sessions are conducted in English and she does not accept international clients.
Marcela focuses on creating a space where people can talk about hard feelings without judgment. She encourages straightforward conversation about what is happening now and what is most pressing. Her approach is practical and down-to-earth, aimed at helping people notice patterns and try manageable changes.
In session she listens for how guilt, shame, and past experiences shape current choices. She helps people sort through grief, trauma, and caregiver stress so they can make clearer decisions day to day. When family history, adoption or attachment issues come up, she works with those threads alongside other concerns.
Marcela also supports those facing chronic illness, first responder stress, or blended family dynamics. She helps with body image, eating or food-related worries, and commitment or relationship strain. Career and parenting topics are part of her practice as well.
Her work is informed by evidence-based therapeutic techniques and practical problem solving. Marcela asks questions, reflects what she hears, and helps people test small adjustments between sessions. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session through the site.
How evidence-based techniques translate to online sessions
Marcela uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address things like trauma, anxiety, and grief. For trauma and abuse she focuses on helping people track how past events affect current reactions and daily routines. This involves naming triggers, building grounding steps, and practicing small shifts that reduce reactivity.She also works with approaches suited to anxiety and depression that break problems into manageable parts. That can mean spotting unhelpful thinking patterns, testing alternative behaviors, and setting short, achievable goals between sessions. These methods aim to make big problems feel more controllable in day-to-day life.
Finding the right mix of techniques is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods that seem most likely to help. The plan can change as progress or obstacles become clearer.
