Daniel Garcia, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Daniel!

My focus is to help you reach your therapy goals by working with you to find skills that work to reduce symptoms. I can tailor your experience based on your needs and create a supportive space where you feel heard and understood.

My focus

I am open to working with clients of all ages, from young children to older adults. My goal is always to build a strong, trusting relationship where clients feel safe, supported, and comfortable expressing themselves. I've been fortunate to witness meaningful growth in clients through that sense of emotional safety.

My approach

I integrate several evidence-based therapy modalities to meet the individual needs of each client. These include CBT, DBT, EMDR, Solution-Focused Therapy, Play Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, and Gestalt approaches. I believe flexibility in therapeutic style allows for a more personalized and effective healing process.

My communication style

I offer a warm, calm, and consistent presence in sessions, creating an inviting and non-judgmental space. I believe in meeting clients where they are emotionally and adjusting my communication style to fit their needs. Building trust through openness and authenticity is a top priority for me.

My journey to mental healthcare

From a very young age, I felt a calling to help others and support those in emotional pain. That passion guided me into the field of mental health, where I've found deep fulfillment and purpose. I feel privileged to walk alongside clients as they work toward healing and growth.

My goals for you

Therapy goals are most meaningful when they come from the client, so I take a collaborative approach to setting them. I help you clarify what matters most and how you want to grow, heal, or change. Together, we'll develop a roadmap that feels both motivating and achievable.

Our first session

In our first session, you can expect to feel welcomed, heard, and respected. We'll spend time getting to know one another and discussing what brings you to therapy. I hope that you leave the session feeling supported, understood, and confident in the process ahead.
