Kathy Garza

Kathy Garza is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with three years of professional experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, self-esteem struggles, and compassion fatigue. Kathy also focuses on life purpose questions and practical concerns like caregiver stress, communication problems, and panic attacks.

Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a method that looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect feelings. Sessions are straightforward and focused on concrete steps to reduce symptoms and practice different ways of responding. Clients can expect to talk through current problems, try new coping strategies, and review what helps between meetings.

Kathy emphasizes that clients know their own stories and brings attention to individual strengths. She often helps people who feel stuck after change or who are wondering what matters next in work or life. Conversations aim to be practical and grounded rather than abstract or overly theoretical.

With experience supporting caregivers, people affected by trauma, and those facing identity and immigration stressors, she offers help for both immediate coping and longer-term change. She works in English and is based in Texas.

To begin, visitors are encouraged to use the platform’s matching process to schedule a first session. The therapist uses evidence-based techniques and focuses on clear, manageable steps suited to each person’s situation.

How cognitive approaches translate to online sessions

Kathy uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test different behaviors. This approach breaks problems into smaller parts and offers practical exercises people can try between meetings, which often helps with anxiety, depression, panic, and stress.

The biography describes evidence-based therapeutic techniques broadly. That usually means working with techniques that have research support and focusing on skills that can be practiced in daily life. Kathy will work collaboratively to choose which techniques fit a person’s goals, needs, and preferences rather than imposing a single method.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as the profile does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or medical appointments. They also reduce commute time and let people continue weekly check-ins when schedules are tight. If you want to try a focused skills approach or steady check-ins while managing a busy life, discuss format and timing during the matching and scheduling steps.
