About Marcela
Marcela spends time learning each person’s story before suggesting ways to move forward. She treats clients as the experts in their own lives and highlights strengths people already have. Sessions commonly involve talking through current problems, practicing new skills, and setting small, manageable goals.
Her background includes 15 years of counseling experience supporting issues like caregiver stress, family conflict, attachment wounds, and feelings of emptiness. She also helps with life-purpose questions, financial stress, jealousy, and forgiveness work.
Marcela draws on several practical approaches to tailor sessions to each person. She uses client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and solution-focused methods to build short-term steps. Motivational interviewing and dialectical behavior tools may appear when they match a person’s goals.
Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. Marcela emphasizes steady progress and real-world changes, helping people take the next steps toward more satisfying daily life.

Approaches that guide online work and choice
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building trust. The therapist follows each person’s lead, reflects what matters, and helps clarify goals and strengths. This approach is useful when someone needs a caring space to make sense of big life shifts.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. It uses practical exercises to notice unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress. Solution-Focused Therapy narrows in on small, concrete steps and what is already working now to create quick momentum.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That decision is made together and can change as progress is made.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. In practice, online sessions can make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or travel. They can allow shorter check-ins, reduce commute time, and help people practice skills in daily life without rearranging the whole day.
