About Patricia
Patricia De La Garza is a licensed professional counselor with ten years of experience helping adults manage stress and anxiety. She meets people where they are and focuses on practical steps that reduce daily distress. Her style is respectful and curious, and she aims to help clients feel more capable and confident in handling life’s challenges.
Patricia looks for the thought patterns, emotional reactions, and behaviors that keep problems going.
Background and approach
She and the client work together to build simple, usable skills for coping with panic, low mood, and social anxiety. Sessions are collaborative and grounded in clear goals rather than abstract theory. Her approach emphasizes real-world tools for managing anger, improving self-esteem, and navigating life changes.
She helps people practice new ways of thinking and acting, then adapts those practices to each person’s routines and values. Progress is measured by what actually changes day to day. Patricia also addresses longer-term personality and attachment concerns when they affect current functioning.
She brings steady curiosity to issues such as avoidant or dependent patterns, and supports clients exploring life purpose and relationships to themselves. Sessions with Patricia use plain language and focused exercises. Parents reading on a phone can expect short, direct conversations about steps to try between sessions.
The aim is practical support that fits into a busy life and builds skills clients can use right away.
Practical approaches for anxiety and mood online
Many of Patricia’s sessions focus on evidence-based techniques that target thinking patterns and behaviors that keep anxiety and low mood going. She teaches cognitive strategies that help people notice and test unhelpful thoughts so they have clearer choices about how to respond. These techniques are useful for panic, social anxiety, and persistent worry.She also works with behavioral strategies that build new habits and reduce avoidance. That can include paced exposure to feared situations, short behavioral experiments, and step-by-step plans to handle overwhelming emotions. These tools help with anger management, panic attacks, and improving everyday functioning.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Patricia will discuss different options with each person and adapt methods to fit their values, goals, and daily life. She works together with clients to find what feels most helpful and adjusts the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video works well for longer weekly sessions and face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for shorter check-ins, quick skill reminders, or when writing feels easier than talking. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent with a busy schedule.
