Callie Baquero, LMFT

Callie Baquero, LMFT, focuses on helping people build practical coping skills for daily life. She uses a down-to-earth, mindful approach to help clients notice what is already working and practice new ways to respond to stress, anxiety, relationship strain, and addictions. Her style is patient and nonjudgmental, aimed at helping people feel steadier and more capable.

Callie brings nine years of clinical experience and blends talk therapy with attention to body awareness. She often guides clients to slow down, notice sensations, and connect those experiences to thoughts and behaviors. That mind-body emphasis comes in part from her background as a pilates instructor and shapes how she frames self-care exercises and movement-informed practices.

Sessions typically include skill teaching, gentle reality-testing of troubling thoughts, and short practices to try between meetings. Callie leans on techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help people tolerate hard feelings, clarify values, and build everyday routines that support recovery and growth.

She helps people dealing with depression, eating and food-related issues, body image concerns, parenting pressures, relationship and intimacy challenges, grief, and life transitions. First responder stress, postpartum depression, jealousy, impulsivity, and self-esteem work are also within her focus areas.

Callie works with adults across age ranges and is based in Florida. Sessions are offered in English, and she is open to working with international clients through the platform. To begin, follow the site steps to match and schedule a session.

How ACT and DBT Inform Online Sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people name what matters most to them and take small steps toward those values. It uses mindfulness and practical exercises to reduce the hold of painful thoughts and increase committed action. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. DBT tools can be useful when strong feelings, impulsivity, or relationship conflicts interfere with daily life.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which skills and exercises fit their goals and daily routine. That conversation guides whether more ACT-focused values work or DBT skills become the emphasis.

The practical advantages of online therapy include fitting sessions into busy schedules and being able to connect from different locations. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm the available options on the booking page before scheduling. Online sessions can make it easier to add short check-ins, practice grounding exercises between meetings, and keep therapy consistent during life transitions.
