About Enrique
Enrique Garcia is a licensed social worker who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and family or parenting concerns. He speaks English and Spanish and works from California. His approach is respectful and compassionate, and he aims to make the first steps feel manageable for a worried parent or caregiver.
He uses plain conversation to identify what matters most to each family. Sessions center on real-life problems like parenting challenges, relationship strain at home, or the stress that comes from work and money pressures.
Background and approach
Enrique adapts the pace and focus to fit each household rather than applying one fixed method. Enrique draws on several evidence-informed methods to guide sessions. He uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice thoughts without getting stuck in them.
He also applies Client-Centered techniques that prioritize listening and building a trusting relationship. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are brought in when practical steps or changes in thinking can reduce symptoms such as panic attacks or social anxiety. Narrative methods help families reframe difficult stories, including divorce or attachment struggles, into clearer next steps.
Across his work he attends to emotions like guilt, shame, and isolation while addressing concrete issues like impulsivity and financial stress. With about ten years of clinical experience and a California LCSW credential, he offers straightforward, empathetic care tailored to family and parenting worries.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online family support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice stressful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. Online work can use brief exercises and values-focused goals to reduce avoidance and improve daily parenting choices. Client-Centered Therapy centers on deep listening and empathy, which works well over video or phone when the therapist focuses on building trust and understanding the family's perspective.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy offers concrete tools for changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, useful for panic attacks, social anxiety, or depression. CBT techniques adapt cleanly to video sessions and can be practiced between meetings with short assignments and check-ins via messaging.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Enrique collaborates with families to decide which methods fit their needs and goals, adjusting the plan as things change. He treats the decision as a team effort, combining what feels helpful with what actually fits each household's schedule and preferences.
Online therapy lets families connect from home using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. That flexibility can make it easier to balance school, work, and caregiving while getting consistent support. These formats also allow for shorter check-ins and practical follow-up between sessions to keep progress moving forward.
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.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
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.
