About Marcela
Dr. Marcela Mejia is a bilingual psychologist practicing in Florida with 25 years of clinical experience.
Background and approach
She works with adults and adolescents on a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, trauma, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, grief, and self-esteem. Fluent in English and Spanish, she integrates practical strategies with a compassionate, collaborative stance so clients can address immediate problems while also building longer-term coping skills.
Her approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with acceptance-based and client-centered methods, and she also draws on emotionally-focused and existential perspectives when appropriate. Dr.
Mejia emphasizes a team-oriented therapeutic alliance, setting clear goals and tailoring interventions to each person’s needs and cultural background. Her practice pays attention to co-occurring challenges such as chronic illness, caregiver stress, ADHD, and career or life-transition difficulties.
Available via multiple online session formats, she aims to create a supportive space where clients learn strategies to manage symptoms, improve communication, and regain a sense of agency. Dr.
Mejia’s training and long-standing clinical work in Florida and Virginia inform a flexible, strengths-based practice designed to help people move toward healthier, more authentic lives.
Approaches that guide online care and practical change
Dr. Marcela Mejia uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and to develop practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress-related symptoms. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is also part of her toolkit, offering techniques to clarify personal values and build psychological flexibility when coping with difficult emotions and life transitions. Client-centered methods inform her overall stance, emphasizing empathy and collaboration so each person’s perspective shapes the pace and focus of treatment.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She works with clients to explore which methods feel most relevant to their goals and adjusts interventions over time, combining strategies when that best serves the individual’s needs and preferences.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide flexibility for scheduling and different styles of engagement. These formats make it easier to access ongoing care from Florida and to maintain continuity during life changes, while allowing therapists and clients to focus on skill-building, emotional processing, and practical problem solving in ways that fit each client’s routine.
