Her career demonstrates a clear progression from PhD student at Jaume I University to her current faculty position, maintaining consistent focus on clinical psychology research and education.

Her educational background includes studies at Jaume I University (2013-2016) and the National University of Distance Education (2004-2010), where she earned her Psychology degree. This educational foundation has supported her specialization in evidence-based psychological interventions.

Dr. Díaz-García's research primarily focuses on the application of Information and Communication Technologies for mental health promotion, with particular emphasis on emotional disorders. Her work integrates emotion regulation, positive affect regulation, and transdiagnostic treatment approaches. She has developed significant expertise in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy applications, particularly in blended (online and face-to-face) formats for treating anxiety and depressive disorders. Her research demonstrates how technology can bridge gaps in mental healthcare delivery while maintaining treatment efficacy.

Analysis of her publication record reveals strong thematic consistency across 66 publications, with recent work concentrating on transdiagnostic interventions, blended therapy models, and pandemic-related mental health impacts. Her research shows increasing sophistication in methodology, progressing from basic validation studies to complex randomized controlled trials and meta-analyses. The work consistently addresses implementation challenges in mental healthcare systems while maintaining scientific rigor.

As an educator, Dr. Díaz-García has developed innovative teaching methods for psychology education, including gamification approaches using tools like Quizizz for psychopathology instruction. Her commitment to training future mental health professionals extends to developing emotion regulation skills training specifically for graduate students in health psychology.

Her research collaborations span multiple Spanish institutions, particularly with Jaume I University, indicating strong professional networks in the Spanish psychology research community. The LABPSITEC group appears to be her primary research home, focusing on technology applications in psychological science and practice.
