Monica Lopez Garcia, M.A., LMFT, C-CATP

Hi there! I'm Monica, an experienced licensed marriage and family therapist in California dedicated to helping individual adults cope with anxiety, stress, depression, life transitions, loss, and low self-confidence.

I offer a safe, judgment-free space where you can talk openly, feel heard, and begin to make sense of what you’re experiencing. With over 30 years of counseling experience, I help clients learn practical coping skills, manage difficult emotions, navigate life transitions, and build confidence from the inside out. While I welcome anyone seeking support, my heart is in working with women, especially those facing challenging life transitions or feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves.

Using a strengths-based perspective, I use a wide range of evidenced-based approaches such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Humanistic, Person-Centered Therapy, & Positive Psychology to assist clients with making positive steps in improving their mental health and level of functioning. I work from a variety of approaches and match the style that will best fit your needs.

Reaching out for counseling takes courage. If you’re ready to take that first step, I invite you to reach out. I would be honored to support you on your journey to healing.
