About Tania

Tania Garcia is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 18 years of experience. She guides people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward. Tania speaks English and Spanish and works from Florida while also accepting international clients.

Her style is straightforward and warm. She creates a calm space where people can talk about stress, anxiety, anger, grief, relationship tension, or parenting strain. Sessions often focus on practical steps to reduce daily stress and gain clearer thinking about life choices.

In therapy she blends client-centered listening with practical tools. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) skills help spot unhelpful thinking and change behavior. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) ideas support understanding strong feelings in relationships.

Tania also draws on existential ideas to help people find meaning during life transitions. She works with concerns like self-esteem, eating and body image, ADHD, blended family issues, adoption and foster care topics, caregiver stress, and divorce or separation. She can help people address family-of-origin issues and communication problems.

Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, select the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability. Confirm current session options before booking to ensure they fit your needs.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building trust. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflecting what matters most and helping people feel heard before making changes. This approach is useful for stress, low self-esteem, and grief.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches simple skills to test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and anger in day-to-day life. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and name strong emotions, especially in relationships, and find new ways to connect and communicate.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan as needed. This collaborative process helps find what actually works for the person's life and schedule.

Confirm current session formats before booking because the biography does not specify them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or travel. It can also let someone do a shorter check-in by phone or avoid video when bandwidth is limited. The focus is on practical ways to bring therapeutic tools into everyday routines.
