About Tania

Tania Garcia is an LCSW practicing in Florida with 18 years of clinical experience. She draws on a blend of evidence-informed methods to help people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting challenges, grief, and other life transitions.

Background and approach

Comfortable working in both English and Spanish, she aims to create a welcoming space where practical strategies and personal reflection work together to produce sustainable change. Her style combines structured techniques with empathic listening: clients can expect cognitive-behavioral tools alongside person-centered support and emotion-focused perspectives when appropriate.

She accepts international clients and offers flexible session formats to fit different schedules and needs.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online

Client-centered therapy centers the person and their experience, emphasizing empathetic listening and collaboration to help clients explore values, strengths, and choices. This approach supports issues like depression, self-esteem, and life transitions by creating space for reflection and personal agency.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and skill-building. CBT is often used for anxiety, stress, mood concerns, and coping with life changes because it provides concrete tools clients can practice between sessions.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) targets emotional patterns in relationships and helps partners or family members build more supported, responsive bonds. It is useful when improving communication, resolving conflict, or addressing attachment-related distress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to determine which methods best match their goals, symptoms, and preferences, and may integrate elements from multiple models as needed to tailor care.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit consistent care into busy lives. These options allow clients to access licensed professionals from different locations, schedule sessions that suit their routines, and use a mix of real-time and asynchronous communication to support ongoing progress.
