About Marcela
Marcela Hernandez Garcia is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with three years of professional experience. She works with common struggles like stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. Marcela also addresses concerns related to guilt and shame, addiction, and adjustment after immigration. She offers sessions in English and Spanish.
Her approach is straightforward and practical. Conversations focus on what feels most urgent and on small, doable steps. She adapts discussions and plans to fit each person’s situation rather than using one fixed method.
Marcela draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people notice patterns, change unhelpful thoughts, and try different behaviors. Sessions can include talking through difficult feelings, setting short-term goals, and practicing new coping skills between meetings. She pays attention to cultural background and the realities of everyday life.
Clients who come with guilt, shame, or troubles around forgiveness can expect direct attention to those feelings. Marcela helps people explore where the feelings come from and how they affect daily choices. The work is paced to what the person can manage at home and at work.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The subscription for sessions can be canceled at any time, and fees vary with location. Marcela does not accept international clients, and sessions are offered in English and Spanish.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online sessions
Many of Marcela's methods come from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on thoughts, behaviors, and practical skills. One common approach helps people notice and reframe unhelpful thoughts so those thoughts have less influence over mood and actions. This can help with anxiety, guilt, and low self-esteem. Another approach emphasizes behavioral experiments and small actions to test new ways of coping. That method supports change by trying short tasks between sessions to see what works in daily life.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Marcela collaborates with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals and preferences. She adjusts the plan over time based on what is most helpful and what the person can manage between meetings.

Licensed professionals can use the online setting to focus on skill-building, processing difficult feelings like shame or guilt, and tracking progress across sessions.
