About Marcela
Dr. Marcela Mejia is a bilingual psychologist who speaks English and Spanish. She brings 25 years of clinical experience and works from Florida and Virginia to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and life changes.
She emphasizes teamwork and practical steps to move forward. Her approach begins with listening to what matters most to the person sitting across from her. Sessions focus on clear goals and slowly building skills to manage emotions, cravings, or distressing thoughts.
Background and approach
She uses straightforward tools so people can try them between sessions and notice small changes. Dr. Mejia blends several therapy styles to match each person’s needs.
She draws on existential ideas about meaning and choice, cognitive-behavioral strategies to spot unhelpful thinking, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) techniques to clarify values and take action. She also uses client-centered skills to create a supportive space for honest conversation.
People come to her for many concerns including addiction, relationship problems, grief, parenting stress, eating struggles, ADHD, bipolar mood management, and career transitions. She pays attention to the whole picture - physical health, caregiving roles, and day-to-day demands - when shaping a plan. Her work is practical and person-focused.
She helps people develop coping skills, rebuild confidence, and make clearer choices about the life they want. If someone prefers Spanish, she offers services in that language as well.

Online support
Approach and online care that fit your life
Existential Therapy focuses on meaning, choice, and responsibility. It helps when life feels confusing or empty by guiding people to clarify what matters and make intentional decisions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches practical skills for noticing painful thoughts and feelings while taking steps toward a valued life, which can help with anxiety, depression, and motivation. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental conversation where the therapist listens deeply and reflects back what matters to the person seeking help.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Dr. Mejia will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and daily challenges, and then suggest ways of working that make sense. That collaboration helps tailor sessions so time is focused on useful, real-world change.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people see one another for longer sessions and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging provide a way to check in between appointments or when scheduling is tight. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, and other responsibilities while using the approaches above to address stress, grief, addiction, relationships, and mood concerns.
