About Marcela

Dr. Marcela Mejia is a bilingual psychologist who speaks English and Spanish. She has practiced clinical psychology for 25 years and works from Florida.

She aims to help people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, addiction, ADHD, or major life changes. She keeps sessions focused on practical goals and teamwork. Sessions are collaborative - the client and therapist set priorities together.

She emphasizes developing coping skills that can be used between meetings to manage day-to-day challenges.

Background and approach

Her approach blends several well-known methods, including cognitive behavioral work and acceptance-based ideas. She also uses client-centered and emotionally-focused techniques to explore relationships and communication. This mix helps address mood, trauma, and intimacy-related concerns in straightforward ways.

Over a long career she has worked in clinics and independent practice and has supported people facing many kinds of struggles. That experience informs how she assesses each person’s current emotional and mental state before setting a plan. She pays attention to life context and practical obstacles as she helps people move forward.

Dr. Mejia describes therapy as a partnership where trust matters. She offers a calm, supportive presence while helping clients build skills and regain a sense of hope.

Her goal is to help people make choices that lead to healthier, more satisfying lives.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

This therapist uses cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered methods to help people manage symptoms and make changes. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety or depressive patterns. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and building a trusting relationship so clients can explore their concerns at their own pace.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the process. The therapist works together with each person to identify goals and choose techniques that match those goals and preferences. That collaborative process means plans can shift as needs change.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video lets you have a face-to-face conversation when visual connection matters. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth or movement is limited. Live chat and messaging are useful for short check-ins, tracking progress, or getting support between longer sessions. These options offer flexibility so people can keep therapy consistent while managing work, caregiving, and other responsibilities.
