Callie Baquero, LMFT

Callie Baquero, LMFT, focuses on helping people find steadier footing when life feels overwhelming. She meets clients where they are and helps them build coping skills for day-to-day stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, parenting challenges, and grief. Her style is down-to-earth and practical, aimed at small steps that add up over time.

Callie emphasizes mindfulness and a mind-body connection in her work. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and values-based action. Sessions often include concrete tools people can use between meetings.

Her background includes nine years of clinical experience and training as a pilates instructor, which informs her attention to how movement and breath relate to emotional states. She uses that perspective to help clients notice physical cues and develop healthier routines. Callie lists her credential as Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, and practices in Florida.

People come to Callie for many concerns, including depression, self-esteem, eating and body image issues, postpartum depression, impulsivity, jealousy, addictions, and intimacy-related struggles. She also works with young adult issues, women’s issues, divorce and separation topics, and first responder issues. The goal is practical change - feeling more able to manage daily life and make choices that match personal values.

When someone wants to begin, Callie asks them to pick a few immediate priorities and then practices small experiments together. That approach helps people test new ways of coping and notice what works in their everyday life.

How ACT and DBT inform online therapy with Callie

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, emphasizes identifying personal values and taking small, meaningful actions that match those values. It helps people move past stuck thinking and focus on what matters in daily life.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Those tools are useful when anxiety, impulsivity, or relationship conflicts make everyday functioning harder.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to choose which skills and exercises to prioritize based on goals, preferences, and how issues show up day to day. Sessions often include practice assignments and short experiments to try between meetings so clients can see what helps.

Confirm the specific session options before booking so you know how meetings are scheduled. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when a shorter touchpoint is helpful. It also makes it possible to continue work even when life is in flux, while the therapist and client adjust the pace and methods to suit everyday routines.
