About Kathy
Kathy Garza is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people manage stress and anxiety. She offers straightforward support for depression, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, compassion fatigue, and panic attacks. Kathy writes and listens with a practical focus so people can take small steps forward.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. Kathy helps clients notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try different behaviors to reduce distress.
Background and approach
Sessions are goal-oriented and rooted in everyday skills people can use between meetings. Kathy also brings experience supporting people dealing with caregiving strain, chronic illness or pain, adoption and foster care concerns, and immigration-related stress. She helps clients facing guilt, shame, isolation, control struggles, and communication problems.
Her work includes addressing post-traumatic stress and recovery after domestic violence. Clients can expect practical tools, gentle challenge, and collaborative planning. Kathy emphasizes the client’s own strengths and choices when setting goals.
She aims to make progress feel manageable, one step at a time. With three years of professional experience, she offers multiple session formats so people can pick what fits their life. Sessions are provided in English and scheduled to match client needs.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
Practical approaches for online anxiety care
Many clients find Cognitive Behavioral Therapy useful for anxiety and panic because it shows how thoughts and actions influence feelings. This approach teaches concrete techniques for managing worry, facing feared situations gradually, and breaking cycles of avoidance. Evidence-based techniques for trauma and post-traumatic stress focus on stabilizing symptoms, building grounding skills, and creating predictable coping steps to reduce intense reactions.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about symptoms, goals, and daily demands, then try techniques that match those needs. Adjustments happen over time so the plan fits the person’s pace and preferences rather than following a fixed script.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are a good fit when bandwidth or camera use is difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between sessions, get brief coaching, or fit a short appointment into a busy day. These options help people keep therapy consistent while managing work, caregiving, or health limits.
