How Marcela works
Her approach mixes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at thoughts and actions that keep problems going, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing for trauma-related symptoms. She uses those methods to help reduce intense reactions and to build more helpful patterns. Common topics she addresses include attachment issues, body image, communication problems, guilt and shame, and feelings of isolation.
She also helps with forgiveness work, finding life purpose, exploring sexuality, and women's issues. Work stress and problems with motivation are part of her practice too. Marcela tailors the plan to what each person wants to achieve.
She encourages small, doable changes alongside deeper emotional work. Getting started begins with a brief matching questionnaire and scheduling a session that fits the client's availability.

Approaches used online and how they help
Marcela uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thought patterns and test small behavior changes that can reduce distress. CBT sessions often include practical exercises and homework to try between meetings, useful for anxiety, stress, and self-esteem work.She also incorporates Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, a method that helps process distressing memories and reduce their intensity. EMDR is applied when past events continue to cause strong reactions or interfere with daily life.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Marcela will discuss your goals, symptoms, and preferences and suggest techniques that fit your situation. Together you can adjust methods as you learn what works best for you.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can support quick check-ins or ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule and to keep momentum between appointments.
