About Carmen

Dr. Carmen Pulido helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, and challenges such as sleep problems, anger, and low self-esteem. She is a licensed psychologist in Texas - TX Psychologist 37321 - and California - CA Psychologist 24207.

Dr. Pulido speaks English and Spanish and brings 14 years of clinical experience to her work. Parents reading this will find clear, practical guidance rather than academic jargon.

Her approach starts with understanding what led to current habits and reactions.

Background and approach

She uses familiar tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness and acceptance strategies help people manage upsetting thoughts and strong emotions. Motivational interviewing supports change when someone feels stuck.

Sessions focus on small, doable steps that fit daily life. Dr. Pulido pays attention to attachment and family of origin issues when they affect mood or relationships.

She also addresses addiction and substance use with practical strategies tailored to each person. Over her career she has worked with professionals and others navigating career shifts, grief, and midlife transitions. That background informs a straightforward style that balances insight with action.

The goal is clearer choices and better day-to-day functioning. People can expect a collaborative process. Together they identify goals, try out new ways of coping, and adjust plans as progress happens.

Dr. Pulido aims to make therapy useful and understandable for busy lives.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts without letting them control action. It focuses on what matters to the person and small steps toward a meaningful life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels unsure about change by exploring reasons for and against it in a nonjudgmental way.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dr. Pulido will discuss goals, preferences, and life demands and then try methods that fit the situation. She treats therapy as a collaboration and adjusts techniques as progress is made.

Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations when an in-person visit is hard. Phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging provide more flexible options for check-ins or when someone needs shorter, frequent contact. These formats let people access licensed professionals from home or work and continue therapy through life changes.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
