David Garcia

David Garcia is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 15 years of clinical experience. He works with adults who are facing career shifts, grief, relationship strain, and other life changes. He also supports people coping with anxiety, depression, stress, and questions about life purpose.

He frames problems as coming from relationships, life events, opportunities, barriers, and the settings where people live and work. He helps clients map those influences and spot personal strengths they can use. Sessions focus on practical steps rather than abstract theory.

Garcia draws on humanistic, client-centered principles while using solution-focused and cognitive behavioral methods when useful. That means conversations are collaborative and goal-oriented, with attention to thoughts, behaviors, and small experiments that can change daily life. He aims to be direct and adaptable to each person’s situation.

His background includes work in public agencies, nonprofit organizations, higher education, and corporate settings. That range gives him experience with career transitions, students navigating school, and adults handling major life shifts. He has spent much of his practice helping people manage caregiver stress, aging concerns, and coping with chronic illness.

Clients can expect clear, practical strategies and steps to try between sessions. He guides people through identifying options, testing what helps, and adjusting plans as they learn more. The focus is on usable tools for real-world problems rather than long, open-ended talk.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and collaboration. The therapist follows the client’s pace, reflects what matters, and helps people clarify values and priorities. This approach is useful for people who feel unsure about what matters next and need thoughtful, respectful conversation.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact. It helps with anxiety, depression, and stress by identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new ways of responding. Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on small, achievable changes and builds on existing strengths to create forward momentum.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, and then shape sessions together in a collaborative way. That shared planning helps decide when to use exploratory conversation, behavioral experiments, or brief problem-solving.

Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Many people choose online work because it can fit into a busy week, shorten travel time, or make it easier to have a brief check-in during a work break. Talk through scheduling and practical preferences when you arrange the first appointment so sessions can fit into everyday life.
