More about Virgen
- 7 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
My name is Virgen Garcia. I am Licensed Clinical Social Worker licensed in Florida with 7 years of experience as a therapist. I graduated with my Masters in Social Work from Barry University in Miami, Florida. I speak both English and Spanish. I use different approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, solution focused therapy, client-centered, and motivational interviewing. I have experience working with individuals struggling with negative self-talk, low self-esteem, substance use, depression, anxiety, and history of trauma.
My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in meeting the client where they are and using reflective questions to guide sessions and change. I believe in treating everyone with respect and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes great courage to seek help to start your process for change, self-discovery, and healing. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support you.
I look forward to working with you.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

I love her
smart and caring
She is absolutely wonderful and I am hopeful and excited to continue to work with her on getting better everyday!
Dr. Garcia has been extremely helpful in managing my anxiety and my low self esteem. She is very interactive and provides me with actual tools, not just running the motions with me and asking me how I feel. The work I've done with her in a short amount of time is work that's already having a positive outcome in my life. I'm very grateful.
Virgen is an amazing counselor who understands her clients, she has done so much to help me over the past few weeks. I really appreciate her.
