Getting to know Lauren Garcia

I understand that engaging in therapy, especially if it's the first time, can feel intimidating. You've taken the first step by being here, on this page, and I'd like to introduce myself to help you feel a little more comfortable. I am a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor. I have over 15 years of experience working with adolescents, teens, and adults having trouble with anxiety, stress management, depression, relationships, and more. My clients often come to me feeling overwhelmed or anxious about experiences, past or present, in their life. They are eager to understand these feelings and make positive change, but may not yet have the tools needed to do this. The modalities I use most often are CBT and Person-centered. With CBT, we will explore unhelpful thoughts that may be contributing to behaviors. I will support you in challenging these thoughts, learn self-help strategies, and make positive changes in problem behaviors. The Person-centered approach has 3 core tenets: unconditional positive regard, empathy, and congruence. Using Person-centered (or Client-centered) therapy, I honor my client as the expert in their life & support them in exploring their thoughts and feelings. This allows clients to find solutions with my support of their efforts. In our first session, we will start with introductions and begin talking about what has brought you to therapy at this time. We will talk about what you would like to work on and how that will look. I understand and respect that it might take some time for you to feel safe sharing your story. When you are ready, I will be there to listen and honored that you chose to share it with me. I look forward to meeting with you soon.
