About Marcela
Dr. Marcela Mejia is a bilingual psychologist who offers calm, practical support for people facing anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. She works with adults and adolescents and speaks English and Spanish.
Her approach is team-based: she and the client set clear goals and work together to reach them. Dr. Mejia has practiced clinical psychology for 25 years in clinic and independent practice settings across Florida and Virginia.
She combines talk therapy with skill-building so people can manage symptoms and reclaim everyday functioning.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on concrete steps, like coping techniques, communication skills, and planning for change. Her work draws on several therapeutic approaches, such as cognitive behavioral strategies, emotionally focused work, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. She also uses client-centered methods to keep sessions grounded in each person’s priorities.
Gottman Method is part of the toolkit she references for relationship concerns. Clients can expect a steady, compassionate presence that emphasizes practical tools. The therapist pays attention to the whole person, including medical, social, and emotional factors that affect wellbeing.
This helps shape treatment plans that fit real daily life. Dr. Mejia supports issues including addictions, grief, parenting stress, body image, career concerns, ADHD, bipolar mood patterns, and caregiver strain.
Her goal is to help people reduce distress, strengthen coping, and move toward a more balanced life.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Gottman Method work focuses on improving communication and reducing conflict in close relationships by practicing specific interaction skills and building emotional connection; it can help people who want clearer communication and less reactivity. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) centers on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match personal values, which helps with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns and improve daily functioning.Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will collaborate with each person to identify goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust the plan as progress is seen. This is a team effort where client preferences and life demands help guide which strategies are used.
Online sessions can take place via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful when visual cues and joint exercises are needed, phone sessions work well with lower bandwidth or for brief check-ins, live chat can be a convenient option for written back-and-forth, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make scheduling easier and help therapy fit into busy days.
