    About Virgen

    Virgen Garcia Figueroa is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people handle stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma, and low self-esteem. She speaks English and Spanish and draws on a range of practical approaches to support change. Virgen writes short, direct plans with clients and focuses on small steps people can try between sessions.

    She brings ten years of experience and a warm, interactive style to sessions. Virgen uses Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify goals and find their own reasons for change. She also works with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered techniques to shift unhelpful thoughts and strengthen coping skills.

    Sessions tend to be conversational and goal-focused. Virgen asks reflective questions, listens closely, and tailors the conversation to each person's pace. She emphasizes respect and compassion while helping people build manageable strategies for daily life.

    Her background includes a Master of Social Work from Barry University in Miami, Florida, and licensure as an LCSW in Texas and Florida plus an LCSW-C in Maryland. Those credentials support her clinical work across a range of concerns listed above.

    People who choose Virgen often want practical tools and straightforward support during difficult moments. She encourages gradual progress and works with each person to set realistic steps. To get started clients follow a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on the therapist's availability.

  2. How her approaches work in online therapy

    The therapist uses Motivational Interviewing to help people explore and strengthen their own motivation for change by asking open questions and reflecting back what matters most to them. This approach can be useful for addictions, ambivalence about change, and building momentum toward goals.

    She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the client's perspective and emphasizes empathy and respect. That approach helps people feel heard and supported while they sort through difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another tool she uses to identify unhelpful thought patterns and practice concrete skills for anxiety, depression, and anger.

    Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist works collaboratively to match methods to each person's needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress is made.

    The original biography does not specify which online or in-person formats are offered, so confirm available session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or family routines, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt reflective conversation, skill practice, and goal-setting to work well across different setups.
