About Neska
Neska Garcia is a licensed mental health counselor with a decade of professional experience, practicing in Florida and licensed to provide care in both New York and Florida (FL LMHC MH24519, NY LMHC 008493).
Background and approach
She focuses on helping people manage common and complex concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, and ADHD, while also addressing related issues such as panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, impulsivity, and multicultural challenges.
Her approach blends evidence-informed tools to match each person's needs, drawing on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside motivational and narrative techniques to shape practical strategies and personal insight. She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and works collaboratively to tailor conversations and treatment plans to the individual's circumstances.
Neska also has experience with relationship work and with topics tied to abandonment, blended family dynamics, disruptive mood dysregulation, self-love, sexual assault recovery, women's concerns, and young adult issues. Clients choose her for guidance through transitions and painful experiences, and for support in building more satisfying ways of coping and relating.
She frames seeking help as a courageous step and positions herself as a partner in empowering change rather than prescribing a one-size-fits-all solution.
Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms like anxiety, panic, and depression; it often involves practical exercises and skills practice between sessions. Motivational Interviewing helps people explore their own reasons for change and strengthen commitment to goals, which can be useful when facing ambivalence around behavior or lifestyle shifts. Narrative Therapy invites clients to examine the stories they tell about themselves and their relationships, opening space to reframe experiences and emphasize strengths.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs and preferences. Together they will try strategies, reflect on what helps, and adjust the plan as goals evolve to ensure therapy remains responsive and relevant.
Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, and daily obligations, and they allow licensed professionals to deliver tailored interventions using the clinical approaches above.
