Getting to know Hugo Garcia

Hi there, I'm Hugo! My name is Hugo Garcia, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Monterey, California, working with people across the state via Telehealth. I earned my Master's in Social Work from California State University, Monterey Bay, and my Bachelor's degree from the University of California, Los Angeles. I work with English- and Spanish-speaking adults and specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, and stress related to life transitions. I use Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and other therapeutic techniques to understand my clients, their life situations, and what matters most to them. This helps me support them as we work together to integrate the past, enjoy the present, and hope for the best in the future. My approach My approach to therapy centers on each person's needs and preferences, focusing on identifying and utilizing their strengths and motivations. Together, we work toward feeling hopeful and empowered to reach their therapy goals. I create a safe, honest, and supportive space where clients feel understood, motivated, and comfortable sharing their thoughts and feelings. This environment helps reduce emotional distress and supports setting and achieving meaningful goals. My focus In my experience, my style and approach have been especially helpful for adults facing challenging situations or life transitions, as well as those who have experienced trauma earlier in life. Many clients I've worked with have dealt with stress, depression, anxiety, or other psychological distress. I collaborate with them to navigate difficulties, identify strengths and motivations, learn and practice techniques to manage distress, and feel empowered to pursue their goals in therapy. My communication style My communication style is collaborative, accepting, and respectful.
