About Lizette Garcia
Clients who work with her may be seeking greater self-awareness, tools to manage intense emotions, or strategies to regain a sense of control. Her clinical interests include eating disorders, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and trauma, and she also attends to related concerns such as attachment issues, body image, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, post-traumatic stress, self-love, and social anxiety or phobia. Over time she has found that a psychodynamic lens - exploring the roots of patterns and internal experience - complements other therapeutic techniques she uses.
She holds a belief that psychotherapy is not only for those with a formal diagnosis but for anyone willing to explore and work toward change. Her practice emphasizes curiosity, empathy, and the opportunity to invest in one’s wellbeing and quality of life.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an accepting, nonjudgmental space where a person’s own goals and insights guide the work. This approach supports self-exploration, builds self-esteem, and helps people clarify values and identity. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and patterns that influence eating and self-image. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and enhancing interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially useful for people who experience overwhelming feelings.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the therapeutic process. Lizette Garcia approaches this collaboratively - working with each person to determine which approaches best fit their needs, goals, and preferences and adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility by allowing sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to attend regular appointments, practice skills between sessions, and maintain continuity of care with licensed professionals and therapists regardless of a client’s location or schedule.
