Callie Baquero

Callie Baquero, LMFT, helps people build practical coping skills for day-to-day life. She focuses on calming anxiety, managing stress, and navigating life transitions in ways that feel doable. Her style is calm and straightforward, aimed at parents and adults who need real tools more than labels.

Callie uses mindfulness and attention to the mind-body link to help clients notice what they already do well. She offers concrete strategies for negative thoughts, eating and body-image concerns, and relationship strain. Sessions often blend talk with simple exercises that connect breath, movement, and awareness.

With nine years of clinical experience, Callie works with concerns such as depression, grief, intimacy-related issues, addiction, and parenting challenges. She also focuses on issues that often follow major changes, like divorce, postpartum depression, and struggles common to young adults. Her approach adapts to each person's goals rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan.

Callie brings a nonjudgmental presence to sessions and aims to be a steady support while clients practice new skills. Her background as a pilates instructor influences how she integrates physical awareness into emotional work. This can help clients feel more grounded when emotions run high.

Clients can expect practical steps they can use between sessions. Callie encourages small, steady changes that make daily life feel more manageable. She works from Florida and offers services in English, including to international clients.

How ACT and DBT Inform Online Work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, invites people to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It emphasizes values-based action, which can help when navigating life changes and decisions.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and more effective communication. Those skills can be useful for managing anxiety, impulsivity, and relationship tensions.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work together with each person to choose which techniques fit their goals and needs. Sessions are collaborative, with options adjusted over time as progress and preferences become clearer.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy weeks, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some people also find it simpler to practice mindfulness and body-awareness exercises from a familiar setting. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and DBT skills to remote sessions so clients can apply tools between meetings and during everyday life.
