Virgen Garcia Figueroa

Virgen Garcia Figueroa is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people manage stress, anger, anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, and low self-esteem. She offers support for coping with life changes, grief, bipolar concerns, and ADHD. She speaks English and Spanish and brings ten years of experience to her work in Florida.

Her sessions are warm and interactive. She listens closely and uses reflective questions to help people notice patterns. Conversations are tailored to each person’s needs rather than following a one-size-fits-all script.

Virgen combines practical tools with steady support. She draws on client-centered work to keep the person’s priorities first. She adds techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to challenge unhelpful thoughts and from dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotion regulation skills.

She also uses motivational interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change and narrative therapy to reframe difficult life stories. These approaches are selected to match real goals, like reducing anger outbursts, managing cravings, or easing anxiety before a big life change.

Her style emphasizes respect and compassion. Sessions focus on small, realistic steps that fit everyday life. Virgen encourages people to try practical strategies between meetings and to adjust plans as progress happens.

How her approaches work in online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s goals and perspective. The therapist listens without judgment and helps guide conversations based on what matters most to the client. This approach is useful when someone needs a space to sort priorities, build motivation, or feel heard.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, teaches practical ways to change thinking and behavior. It breaks problems into manageable steps, like noticing a thought, testing it, and trying a new action. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, anger, and managing ADHD-related routines.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose techniques that match their goals, preferences, and life situation. That might mean combining client-centered listening with CBT skill-building or using motivational interviewing to boost readiness for change.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days and reduce travel time. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when needed or longer sessions for skill practice, depending on what the therapist and client agree is helpful. Session formats are not listed here, so confirm the current options before booking. The emphasis is on creating practical plans that fit everyday life and support gradual progress.
