Virgen Garcia Figueroa

Virgen Garcia Figueroa is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-C, LCSW) practicing in Florida who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and the upheaval that comes with major life changes. She speaks English and Spanish and aims to make conversations feel approachable and direct. Virgen greets concerns like low self-esteem, trauma, grief, anger, bipolar disorder, and ADHD with steady, practical support.

Her style is warm and interactive. She uses reflective questions and listens closely to understand what matters most to each person. Sessions focus on clear goals and steps a person can try between meetings. That practical focus is meant to help people notice small changes that add up.

Virgen draws on several therapy approaches such as client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, motivational interviewing, and narrative ideas. She tailors those methods to the issue at hand rather than applying a single formula. The conversation and plan change as needs and goals evolve.

With ten years of experience, Virgen combines straightforward feedback with patience. She says finding the right pace matters, and she adapts to how someone responds in the room. People who want a respectful, goal-minded partner for navigating life transitions often choose this approach.

To begin, she asks people to share what they hope to change and what feels most hard right now. From there, Virgen and the person map out practical next steps and measurable goals to guide the work together.

Approaches that guide online sessions and what they do

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s lead. The therapist offers empathy and reflection to help someone clarify what they want to change and to build motivation. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. It works well for anxiety, depression, and day-to-day stress by breaking problems into manageable steps. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, teaches practical skills for managing strong emotions and improving how someone handles conflict or distress.

Deciding which approach to use is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they try strategies and adjust the plan as they learn what fits best for the individual.

Session formats are not listed in the provided biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow for a quicker check-in when life becomes hectic. Some people prefer shorter or more frequent meetings for practical issues, while others use longer sessions to process deeper concerns. The therapist will discuss what works logistically and clinically to help sessions fit into everyday life.
