Callie Baquero

Callie Baquero is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in Florida who focuses on practical support for everyday stress and life changes. She helps people who are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, parenting challenges, body image and eating concerns. Her work often centers on women's issues and young adult concerns when those come up in sessions.

Callie uses mindfulness and a mind-body perspective to help people notice the skills they already have. She talks through simple coping steps, grounding practices, and ways to manage impulsivity or strong emotions. Sessions emphasize learning tools that can be used between appointments.

Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. That means helping people notice thoughts without being ruled by them and building skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. She weaves those ideas into practical strategies that match daily life.

Callie also brings a background as a Pilates instructor into her work. This informs her attention to the connection between breath, movement, and mood. Clients can expect a focus on small, body-centered practices alongside talk-based work.

Across nine years of practice she aims to offer a nonjudgmental space where clients can experiment with new habits. The goal is to make everyday coping easier and to support clearer thinking about relationships, grief, addiction concerns, and self-esteem. She encourages steady progress rather than quick fixes.

How ACT and DBT shape online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions that match what matters, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches concrete skills for handling strong emotions, improving relationships, and reducing impulsive reactions. Its focus on emotion regulation and distress tolerance can be useful for managing panic, intense mood swings, or crises of control.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick skills and exercises that fit their goals and preferences. Together they will try strategies, adjust what does not help, and build a plan that feels doable in day-to-day life.

If you prefer online care, confirm the specific session options before booking since the biography does not list formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce the need to travel. They can also let people practice grounding and mindfulness in familiar routines while still getting guidance from a licensed professional.
