Mabel Castro, LCSW

Mabel Castro is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with ten years of clinical experience. She practices from Florida and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. Mabel named her practice Meraki Therapy to reflect the care and effort she brings to each session.

In early meetings she will help clients identify what is getting in the way of feeling better. She describes herself as non-judgmental and easy to talk to so people can share their story without pressure. Her style mixes practical exercises with listening and support.

Mabel uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which often includes brief homework to try new ways of thinking and acting between sessions. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Mindfulness techniques to help people notice thoughts and choose values-based action.

Her background spans work with a wide range of concerns, including trauma, addictions, compassion fatigue, intimacy-related issues, and challenges tied to caregiving or blended families. She also helps people facing aging and geriatric issues, fertility and fatherhood stress, and problems related to infidelity or separation.

Mabel offers telehealth sessions and aims to respond to client messages within 24 hours. People who prefer a practical, down-to-earth approach that blends conversation with concrete tasks may find her approach a good match.

How Mabel’s approaches translate to online therapy

Online sessions often use techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and practice new behaviors. CBT sessions tend to include clear skills and short homework assignments that fit well into day-to-day life.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is another part of her toolkit. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that align with personal values, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life changes. Mindfulness practices she uses teach simple ways to become aware of the present moment and reduce habitual reactivity.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals and try methods that match their needs and preferences. Adjustments are made over time based on what is helpful.

The profile notes availability for telehealth, so confirm current session options before booking. Online delivery can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and support steady progress through regular meetings and between-session tasks.
