About Mary
Mary Katherine Garcia, LPC, is a Licensed Professional Counselor licensed in Arizona with nine years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and parenting concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and life changes. She describes her role as walking alongside clients while they identify and use their own strengths.
Garcia uses parts work to help people recognize different aspects of themselves. She talks through how those parts show up in relationships, parenting, and everyday stress. Sessions also address attachment issues, communication problems, control struggles, guilt, shame, and isolation.
Her approach blends several practical methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts affect feelings and actions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy adds skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps clarify and shift patterns that affect close relationships.
She also uses narrative and trauma-focused techniques to help people rewrite painful stories and process difficult events. The work includes identifying patterns, practicing new skills, and testing small changes between sessions. Progress is measured in concrete steps rather than abstract goals.
Sessions aim to be direct and collaborative. Garcia asks about what matters most to the client, sets short-term goals, and adjusts methods based on what helps. People can expect clear discussion, focused skill building, and attention to what they already do well.
