Kathy Boaz-Chavez

Kathy Boaz-Chavez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with six years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, and depression. Kathy also works with people facing abandonment, attachment concerns, isolation and life purpose questions. She speaks English and offers care to people based in Texas.

Kathy uses straightforward conversation to help people sort through overwhelming feelings. Sessions often start by naming what feels most urgent and then trying small changes that can lessen intense moments. She draws from client-centered work to listen closely and from cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking patterns.

Kathy also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotion regulation skills. Mindfulness practices are offered as brief exercises to steady attention and reduce reactivity. Existential ideas are part of discussions when people are questioning meaning or purpose after big life changes.

Her approach is practical and conversational. She helps people identify one or two behavioral steps to try between meetings. Progress is measured in clearer decision-making, calmer responses, and better day-to-day functioning rather than quick fixes.

People who feel stuck in work or life, or who are navigating mood or trauma-related difficulties, may find her methods useful. To begin, readers are asked to use the site process to complete a short questionnaire and schedule an initial session. Fees vary by location and use a cancelable subscription model.

Therapeutic approaches and working online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people can clarify what matters to them. It helps when someone needs space to speak without being led and to arrive at their own decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and uses practical exercises to shift unhelpful thoughts and reactions. That approach is useful for anxiety, mood shifts, and recurring negative beliefs. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skill-building for emotion regulation and coping during intense moments, which can help with overwhelming feelings and panic.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kathy will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to try based on their goals and day-to-day needs. She adapts the plan if an approach does not feel like the right fit.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online care can make it easier to schedule sessions around work or family demands, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that fits a weekday break. It can also let people use mindfulness or skill practices between meetings to reinforce changes made in sessions.
