About Virgen
Virgen Garcia Figueroa is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida with 10 years of experience. She speaks English and Spanish and helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem, grief, bipolar disorder, depression, life changes, and ADHD.
She works in a direct, conversational way. Sessions use reflective questions and practical steps to reduce symptoms and build skills. Conversations focus on what is happening now and what can change in daily life.
Her approach draws on client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, motivational interviewing, narrative work, and solution-focused practices. That mix is used to address negative self-talk, substance use, mood problems, and the effects of past trauma.
She adapts the pace to each person. Some sessions emphasize skill-building and behavior change. Others focus on making sense of difficult experiences and rewriting personal stories that get in the way of functioning.
Virgen aims to help people leave sessions with clear steps they can try between meetings. She recommends follow-up work and regular check-ins to track progress. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session using the See online therapy options button.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a therapeutic relationship. It helps people feel understood and guides conversations toward their priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts influence behavior and mood and uses exercises to change unhelpful thinking and habits. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, concerns, and daily routine. Early sessions are used to try techniques and then adjust the plan based on what helps.
Confirm the current session options before booking as formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow quicker check-ins between in-person visits. They also let people pick quieter times for meetings, use fewer screens when bandwidth is limited, or choose shorter sessions for focused skill practice.
