Evidence-Based Skills for Real Life, From Anywhere
Paula Garcia draws from evidence-based therapeutic techniques, including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), to help clients build practical skills they can use between sessions. DBT focuses on balancing acceptance and change, often through mindfulness, emotion regulation strategies, and healthier communication - tools that can be especially helpful for anxiety, stress, relationship conflict, and mood-related concerns.Mindfulness skills can support clients in noticing thoughts and feelings without getting pulled into them, which may be useful when dealing with panic symptoms, social anxiety, or overwhelm. Communication skills work can help clients practice clearer boundaries and more effective ways of expressing needs, which can be valuable in relationships and during periods of life adjustment.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Paula works collaboratively with clients to identify what they want to improve and then shapes the work around their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the focus as therapy unfolds.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. This range of options can make it easier to fit support into a busy schedule, continue work while traveling within the US, and choose the format that feels most comfortable week to week.
