About Marcela

Dr. Marcela Mejia is a bilingual psychologist who works with people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anger, or major life changes. She speaks English and Spanish and practices in Florida and Virginia.

Patients often come with anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, or relationship concerns. With 25 years of experience, she prefers a team approach where therapist and client set clear goals together. Sessions focus on learning coping skills, managing strong emotions like anger, and rebuilding everyday functioning.

Background and approach

She aims to create a warm, supportive space so people can talk honestly and make steady progress. Her work draws from several practical methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot and change unhelpful thought patterns.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and meeting people where they are. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages identifying values and taking small committed steps toward them. Dr.

Mejia also uses techniques from Emotionally-Focused and Existential approaches when feelings or life meaning need attention. She assesses each person’s situation and tailors the plan to their needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all method. The focus is on usable tools that fit daily life.

Her goal is to help people reduce suffering, regain hope, and make healthier choices. She supports parents, workers, and others facing transitions by teaching skills to manage mood, strengthen communication, and handle stress. If someone wants a steady, collaborative process, she aims to be a calm guide through it.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and still act in line with what matters to them, which can help with anger, anxiety, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy teaches concrete skills to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, useful for depression, anxiety, and addiction issues. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes active listening and creating a trusting, empathic relationship so people feel heard and understood while they work on change.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, preferences, and everyday demands. That collaborative planning can include trying different techniques and adjusting as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video calls let people use face-to-face interaction from a chosen location, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can fit short check-ins between other commitments. These options help people keep consistency, fit therapy into a busy week, and use the format that feels most comfortable for them.
