Marilyn Garcia

Marilyn Garcia is a licensed social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, self-esteem concerns, and career difficulties. She speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps that can make day-to-day life easier. Her style is warm and respectful, and she emphasizes careful listening while shaping goals with each person.

Marilyn uses straightforward conversation to help people name problems and set small, achievable goals. She draws on Client-Centered techniques to follow each person's priorities, and uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Solution-Focused methods support quick, concrete changes when clients want short-term progress.

With seven years of professional experience, Marilyn has worked across different settings and brings that background into sessions. She adapts the pace and focus based on what a person needs in the moment. She also supports people dealing with panic attacks, social anxiety, post-traumatic stress, and workplace stress.

Marilyn holds LICSW and LISW credentials and practices in New York. Sessions are conducted in English, and she is not taking international clients. Costs vary by location and therapist availability, and services use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Marilyn uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person's priorities and to create a respectful space for talking through concerns. That approach focuses on listening, reflecting what matters to the client, and letting goals emerge from their own values.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT helps when anxiety, panic, or workplace worries get in the way by teaching practical strategies to test unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Marilyn will work collaboratively to figure out what fits best based on each person's needs, goals, and preferences. She often blends elements from different methods so sessions match what someone wants to change and how quickly they want to move.

Session options are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online formats before booking. Many people find online work helpful for fitting therapy into a busy week, shortening commutes, or checking in during a lunch break. Online sessions can also make it easier to practice coping skills in everyday contexts and to keep progress moving between meetings.
