Callie BaqueroLMFT

Callie Baquero is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) who helps people build everyday coping skills. She works in a calm, straightforward way to reduce stress and manage anxiety, and she supports people facing depression, relationship strain, body image and parenting concerns. Callie often emphasizes simple, practical steps that can fit into a busy life.

Callie uses mindfulness and a mind-body focus to help clients notice patterns that get in the way. She encourages using skills people already have and practicing small changes that add up. Her background includes nine years of clinical work in Florida, and she blends clinical tools with a practical interest in movement and breathing.

Sessions tend to center on present-moment skills and learning new ways to respond to strong emotions. Callie draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques to teach skills for managing urges, regulating emotion, and clarifying values. She also supports work on eating and food-related concerns, postpartum depression, and self-worth.

Outside of clinical tools, Callie brings a movement-based perspective from her work as a pilates instructor. She often links breathing and posture to emotional regulation and encourages routines that support both body and mind. This approach aims to help people feel steadier through life changes such as divorce, grief, or new parenting roles.

People who choose Callie can expect a practical, nonjudgmental space to practice new habits. She helps clients set small goals, try tools between sessions, and notice what changes over time.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Callie uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice difficult thoughts and still act in line with what matters to them. ACT emphasizes values, present-moment awareness, and small steps toward a meaningful life.

She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT tools are practical skills that help when emotions feel overwhelming or when relationships become strained.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose which techniques make sense based on goals, circumstances, and what feels comfortable. That collaborative process includes trying tools in session and adjusting as needed.

Session formats are not listed here, so confirm available options before booking to know whether online meetings are offered. Many people find online sessions helpful because they can fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel time, or allow a shorter check-in when schedules are tight. Online work can make it easier to practice skills between sessions and to bring real-life issues into discussion without changing plans.
