About Mary Katherine Garcia

Mary Katherine Garcia is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who brings 9 years of experience supporting adults as they face challenges, build resilience, and create meaningful change. She emphasizes the idea that growth often comes from doing hard things, and she helps clients reconnect with their own strength and capability while moving through life transitions, stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship concerns, and self-esteem struggles.

Her work is rooted in the belief that each client is the expert on their own life. Rather than directing the process, she collaborates closely with clients, walking alongside them as they identify what matters most and access their inner wisdom. Using a parts-work perspective, she helps people understand the different sides of themselves - including protective patterns, painful emotions, and personal strengths - so they can relate to their experiences with greater clarity and compassion. Over time, this deeper self-awareness can open the door to new choices, healthier coping, and a more grounded sense of self. Throughout therapy, she aims to honor each person’s unique journey and recognize progress as it unfolds.

Mary Katherine Garcia integrates structured, skills-based methods with a warm, collaborative style to help clients better understand themselves and move forward with intention.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It can be especially useful for stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem concerns, and day-to-day coping by helping clients notice unhelpful patterns and practice more workable alternatives. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds practical tools for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and healthier communication, supporting clients who feel overwhelmed by intense emotions or stuck in reactive cycles. Trauma-Focused Therapy offers a supportive framework for working through the impact of difficult experiences at a pace that feels manageable, with attention to stabilizing skills and meaning-making.

Finding the right fit is part of the process. Mary Katherine Garcia works collaboratively with clients to tailor therapy to their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time as clarity and momentum build.

Online therapy also makes it easier to stay consistent. Clients can choose video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing support to fit into busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, and changing energy levels.
