Getting to know Margarita Garcia-Moreira

My name is Margarita (Magui) Garcia-Moreira, and I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT) based in San Diego, CA, working with clients statewide via telehealth. I hold a Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of San Diego. I specialize in working with women experiencing anxiety, stress, and depression, using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to help my clients make progress and start feeling empowered and loved. My approach to therapy varies based on each client’s individual needs. I typically use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy, as both modalities help clients find quicker relief from emotional dysregulation and regain self-control. My focus is on empowering women to love and accept themselves by developing stronger confidence and self-esteem. I find these key elements essential in managing depression, anxiety disorders, and traumatic experiences. My communication style is calm, accommodating, and personable. I want my clients to feel comfortable sharing anything with me, and I pride myself on my ability to listen without judgment. Being bilingual and bicultural, I sometimes speak Spanglish as needed and accepted by the client. I decided to become a therapist because I enjoy helping others achieve self-acceptance. While I have experience working with children and families to develop healthier boundaries and communication, I realized my true passion lies in empowering women to feel strong, capable, and confident in achieving self-sufficiency and self-love. My goal-setting approach is collaborative, focusing on defining what you want to accomplish during our time together. This often begins by building trust and helping you feel comfortable with what it means to be in therapy.
