About Orlando
Orlando Garcia is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in Florida with 29 years of clinical experience. He focuses on relationship problems, stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and family of origin concerns. He works in English and Spanish and helps adults think through persistent patterns that began in childhood.
Orlando’s approach blends practical talk and exercises. He uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow what matters most to the person and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. He also draws on Mindfulness and Psychodynamic ideas to look at long-standing patterns and feelings that repeat in relationships.
In sessions he tends to be direct and focused on clear steps. Clients often work on changing small daily habits, improving communication, and testing different ways of responding to stressful situations. He includes short, concrete skill practice and reflection between meetings.
Orlando regularly addresses parenting concerns, blended family issues, and attachment-related patterns that trace back to family roles and expectations. He also works with substance and behavioral addictions, grief, anger, and life transitions. He helps people spot old coping habits and try other solutions that fit their current life.
He asks new clients to complete an intake so sessions can focus on priorities from the first meeting. Orlando combines structured techniques with listening to what matters most to the client. That mix is aimed at moving from insight to actionable changes.
How approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the client. Online sessions using this approach emphasize the client’s goals and use conversation to clarify priorities and next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and tests small changes. In an online setting CBT often includes brief homework, thought records, and practical experiments between meetings to check what changes help.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and practical constraints and then suggest which approaches to try. That decision is collaborative and can be adjusted as sessions progress.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow focused check-ins that match a workday break. Some people prefer audio for lower bandwidth or not being on camera, while others choose video for face-to-face interaction; Orlando will help match a format to daily life and the work you want to do.
