Karla Garcia-Velez

Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

Welcome! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), and I have been practicing social work for over 10 years. I have worked with individuals who are suffering from anxiety, depression, self-esteem concerns, grief, chronic illness, caregiver stress, life transitions, and many more.

I believe in assessing each person’s needs individually and adjusting my counseling modalities to fit that individual. Every person is unique and should be treated as such. Many perspectives influence my practice, such as solution focused, strength based, systems, somatic and cognitive behavioral. I will draw upon one or more of these, depending on your specific needs.

I believe it takes strength to reach out for help, and I commend you on taking that step. I believe a client-therapist relationship requires trust and mutual respect to create the change or achieve the outcome that you desire. I will first build that foundation and then will guide you in reaching the goals you wish to achieve. I will also help guide you in deciding your goals based on your individual needs and concerns.

I look forward to meeting you and assisting you through this process.

Is Online Therapy the Right Fit for Your Needs?

Many people ask whether meeting with a therapist online truly helps. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person care.

A major benefit is flexibility – clients can choose the communication method that best fits their lifestyle, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility often makes it easier to maintain consistent appointments and integrate therapy into a busy routine.

Licensed professionals provide care through these formats, and clients may switch therapists if they decide a different fit would be better. For many people, online therapy offers an accessible, adaptable way to pursue mental health and personal growth.
