About Mabel

Mabel Castro is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with ten years of experience supporting people through depression, anxiety, and relationship struggles. She practices in Florida and focuses on helping clients facing stress, low self-esteem, addiction concerns, and trauma. Mabel emphasizes an approachable style so people feel comfortable sharing hard pieces of their story.

In early sessions she helps people identify what feels stuck and what they want to change. She listens without judgment and asks straightforward questions to get at patterns that keep causing pain.

Background and approach

Sessions often include practical steps to try between meetings so progress continues outside the session time. Her work draws on Narrative Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, among other approaches. That means she helps people tell and reframe the stories they live by, while also testing new behaviors and thinking patterns.

Mindfulness and Acceptance and Commitment ideas may be used to help manage strong emotions. Mabel gives direct, compassionate feedback and prefers clear communication about goals and preferences. She is comfortable using short exercises, reflective listening, and planning tools that feel doable for busy lives.

Her approach aims to be collaborative so each person shapes how therapy moves forward. Sessions are offered by phone, video, live chat, and text-based messaging. People interested in beginning are invited to follow the standard start steps to match with her and schedule a time that works.

Online session options

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Many clients find Narrative Therapy useful because it focuses on the stories people tell about themselves; changing those stories can reduce shame and open up new choices. Narrative work often helps with relationship struggles, identity questions, and processing past hurts.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and actions interact. In CBT people try small experiments and homework between sessions to test new behaviors and change unhelpful thinking. This approach can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and daily life. That means checking in and adjusting the plan if something isn’t helpful.

Online therapy makes attending sessions more flexible. Video calls let for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging work well for brief check-ins or when typing feels easier than talking. These formats help fit therapy into busy schedules and allow ongoing support between meetings.
