Marcela Hernandez Garcia , LPC

Marcela Hernandez Garcia is a Texas-licensed LPC with three years of professional counseling experience. As a Licensed Professional Counselor - a mental health professional credential that authorizes practice in Texas - she works with adults facing stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, motivation struggles, and depression. She also supports people coping with life changes and transitions, tailoring conversations and treatment plans to meet each person’s unique needs.

Marcela approaches therapy with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, creating a space where clients can explore difficult emotions and develop practical coping skills. Her work extends to blended family concerns, communication difficulties, substance use issues, struggles with forgiveness, and feelings of guilt and shame. She is also attentive to multicultural issues such as immigration experiences, prejudice and discrimination, and the particular pressures that affect young adults and workplace wellbeing.

Fluent in English and Spanish, Marcela adapts her style to fit individual preferences and goals. She recognizes that beginning therapy takes courage and affirms clients for taking that first step, offering supportive, evidence-informed care aimed at helping people move toward clearer purpose and greater self-compassion.

Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care

Marcela uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that emphasize practical skills and personal insight. One common focus is skills-based work that helps clients build emotional regulation, stress management, and coping tools for anxiety, anger, and depressive symptoms. These strategies help people manage immediate distress and develop routines that support daily functioning.

She also employs problem-focused and exploratory techniques to identify unhelpful patterns in thinking and behavior and to improve communication within relationships and blended families. This approach supports clients working through life transitions, motivation challenges, and issues related to forgiveness, guilt, or cultural stressors.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Marcela collaborates with each client to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and personal preferences. Together they track progress and adjust methods as goals evolve.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - allowing clients to access care from home, during breaks, or while managing busy schedules. This range of options makes it easier to maintain consistency in treatment and to receive support in ways that suit individual lifestyles.
