About Maricruz
Maricruz Garcia is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York who focuses on work and wellbeing alongside everyday life struggles. She helps people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low confidence, grief, or relationship strains. Her approach centers on practical change and steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Clients often come for help with depression, coping with life changes, anger, addictions, or career-related concerns. She also pays attention to mood disorders and multicultural issues that affect how people experience work and family life. Sessions aim to reduce symptoms while building skills that last.
Maricruz uses strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) together with motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas. That mix helps people set clear goals, change unhelpful thinking, and commit to actions that match their values. She adapts tools to the situation so people can try what fits them best.
Her style is warm and nonjudgmental, and she emphasizes small, achievable steps. People who want to reframe their thinking, regain purpose, or make a change at work often find this practical focus helpful. She supports clients in building confidence and planning next steps.

How ACT and CBT guide online work and wellbeing care
Maricruz uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try practical experiments to change them. CBT is often used for anxiety, low mood, and work-related stress where patterns of thinking get in the way of progress.She also draws on acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), which focuses on clarifying values and taking committed action even when difficult feelings are present. ACT can help with life changes, grief, and building routines that match what matters most to a person.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what feels useful. Clients are invited to give feedback so sessions stay aligned with their needs and preferences.
Confirm current session formats before booking, as options are set during scheduling. Online therapy can help fit care into a busy life by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a workday break, or making it easier to meet from different locations. It can also let people continue momentum between in-person steps and apply skills directly to day-to-day routines.
