Ivonne Garcia, Licensed Clinical Social Worker

Do you feel trapped in patterns of anxiety, guilt, or chronic people-pleasing? Is it overwhelming to say no, set healthy boundaries, or focus on your own needs? I understand how hard it can be to prioritize yourself and release old habits that impact self-esteem and relationships. I offer online therapy in FL and NC, helping adults manage anxiety, perfectionism, trauma, and codependency using evidence-based techniques. Together, we’ll strengthen emotional regulation, enhance communication, and build resilience so you can reconnect with yourself and create the confident, fulfilling life you deserve. I help adults struggling with anxiety, guilt, and people-pleasing break free from unhelpful cycles and build healthier boundaries. Using a collaborative and evidence-based approach, I draw from CBT Therapy and Psychodynamic Therapy to support lasting change. Together, we’ll help you reduce anxiety, increase confidence and improve your relationships. Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it alone. I provide a warm, supportive space to navigate anxiety, stress, past trauma, and relationship challenges. Together, we’ll strengthen your boundaries, increase self-worth, and help you reconnect with yourself so you can create more balance, clarity, and fulfillment in your life.

My current office hours are Monday through Thursday from 9 AM EST to 3 PM EST. I offer virtual sessions for clients in North Carolina and Florida. I accept most insurance plans, however if your plan is not in-network with my practice, I can provide a superbill for clients using out-of-network benefits, which may support reimbursement. Please check with your insurance provider for details about your benefits. If you are interested in connecting to set up a free consultation, please call or email me. I am very responsive and I will contact you within 24 hours. A free consultation will be scheduled before our first session to discuss what you are looking for in a therapist and confirm that we both feel comfortable moving forward with an intake session. During your first session, we will explore your current needs and work together to identify your main goals for therapy. We will discuss the challenges you’re facing and collaborate on a plan to address them in a way that feels manageable and meaningful for you. Many clients begin to notice gradual relief from symptoms within the first few weeks, with continued progress over time, though each person’s journey is unique.
