Callie Baquero , LMFT

Callie Baquero brings a practical, mind-body centered approach to therapy, helping people build consistent coping skills for everyday life. She encourages clients to notice and use the tools they already have, guiding them to be more present and to respond to challenges with greater clarity and calm. Callie often references the John Milton line "The mind is its own place and in itself can make a heaven of hell, a hell of heaven" to illustrate how perspective and practice shape experience.

Her work emphasizes mindfulness and the integration of mental and physical well-being. As a licensed LMFT - Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist - she supports individuals and couples through relationship concerns, eating and food-related issues, depression, anxiety, and women's health matters. Callie aims to offer an empathetic, nonjudgmental space where clients can practice new ways of thinking and managing emotions until those skills become more automatic.

In addition to her clinical training, Callie is a pilates instructor and incorporates a strong mind-body connection into her sessions. She believes that mental, spiritual, and physical health are interconnected, and she helps clients cultivate self-compassion and practical strategies to move toward healthier, more balanced lives.

Integrating ACT and DBT into Online Care

Callie Baquero uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck in them, and to identify core values that guide meaningful action - this approach is useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. She also incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially helpful for intense emotions, relationship conflicts, and impulsivity.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Callie works with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress unfolds so therapy feels practical and personalized.

Online therapy offers flexible access to care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, maintain continuity during life changes, and practice skills in real time between meetings with licensed professionals and therapists who can support the process.
