Enrique Garcia , LCSW

Enrique Garcia is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in California with ten years of professional experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, family challenges, and parenting concerns. He works with clients facing depression and LGBT-related issues and brings a calm, nonjudgmental presence to sessions. He is fluent in English and Spanish and integrates that bilingual capacity into therapeutic work when helpful.

He draws on a range of clinical approaches - including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered methods, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, and Narrative Therapy - to shape treatment that fits each individual. Enrique pays close attention to attachment concerns, separation and divorce, guilt and shame, impulsivity, isolation, financial worries, panic symptoms, post-traumatic stress, self-worth, social anxiety, and workplace stress, tailoring interventions to address the concerns clients bring to therapy.

Respect, sensitivity, and compassion guide his practice, and he collaborates with people to create a treatment plan that reflects their goals and values. He recognizes that beginning therapy takes courage and affirms the step of reaching out as an important part of the healing process.

Approaches for Online Therapy and Flexible Care

Enrique often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify their values and take meaningful steps toward a life they want despite difficult thoughts or feelings. ACT is practical for stress, anxiety, and challenges around identity and life transitions.

Client-Centered Therapy is another core approach he employs, emphasizing empathic listening and collaboration so clients feel heard and understood while they explore personal goals and relationships. This approach supports work on family conflict, parenting, and self-worth.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety, panic, and depression and improve coping in workplace and social situations.

Finding the right method is part of the therapeutic process, and Enrique collaborates with each person to determine which approaches best match their needs, goals, and preferences. He adjusts techniques over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit sessions into busy lives, and access licensed professionals from home or other convenient locations.
