About Brenda
Brenda Garcia is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with 10 years of experience. She supports adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and family concerns, grief, addictions, and challenges such as ADHD and bipolar disorder.
She uses plain conversation to help people name what feels hard and figure out practical next steps. Sessions focus on understanding emotions and behaviors, while looking at patterns that keep problems repeating. Brenda emphasizes collaboration and steady pacing rather than quick fixes.
Her approach draws on several psychotherapy styles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thinking and test new ways of responding. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters and commit to actions that reflect those values. Client-Centered work keeps the person's perspective central during conversations.
Brenda also brings psychodynamic ideas into longer conversations to look at history and repeated relationship patterns. Solution-Focused techniques help set small, achievable goals when someone needs immediate relief or structure.
She offers therapy in English and Spanish. Fees vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step are used to set up the first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches shape online sessions
Brenda uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy as core tools in her work. CBT helps people identify thought patterns that feed stress or anxiety and practice new ways of responding. ACT supports clients in clarifying what matters to them and committing to small actions that reflect those values.She treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. The therapist and client review symptoms, goals, and daily routines and then test methods to see what fits. Adjustments are made over time so sessions stay practical and relevant to home life.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove the need to travel.
