Mabel Castro is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Florida and Pennsylvania with ten years of clinical experience. She works with a wide range of clients who face stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, life transitions, compassion fatigue, addictions, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related concerns.
She founded Meraki Therapy to reflect a belief in bringing creativity, soul and passion to therapeutic work - the word Meraki captures that intention. In the opening sessions Mabel focuses on uncovering the root issues that are getting in the way of a client’s well-being, taking a non-judgmental and approachable stance so clients can feel comfortable sharing their stories.
Mabel uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as her primary approach, and clients can expect practical exercises and homework that promote self-reflection and skill-building. She is currently available for telehealth appointments, including phone sessions and live chat, and aims to respond to clients within 24 hours. Transparent communication is important to her practice and helps form a strong therapeutic alliance.
Many people ask whether remote therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or managing life transitions, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.
A major advantage of remote care is flexibility - individuals can connect in the format that works best for them, whether by video call, phone session, live chat, or in-app messaging. This makes it easier to fit therapeutic support into a busy schedule.
All sessions are provided by licensed professionals, and clients have the option to switch therapists if they seek a different fit. Online therapy offers an accessible way to address everyday mental health needs while preserving the structure and therapeutic techniques found in conventional care.
