About David
David Garcia is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 15 years of experience helping people sort through big life changes. He works from Texas and focuses on practical ways to move forward when stress, loss, or uncertainty feel overwhelming. He views problems as linked to relationships, life events, and the systems people live in.
Sessions emphasize understanding those influences, naming strengths, and building small, manageable steps. David aims for a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can speak frankly about what matters to them.
How David works
His work often centers on grief, depression, anxiety, and self-esteem. He also supports people dealing with career shifts, caregiving strain, aging concerns, and the fallout from divorce or separation. He brings experience from public, nonprofit, higher education, and corporate settings to those conversations.
David draws on Client-Centered, Cognitive Behavioral, and Solution-Focused approaches to guide sessions. That means he listens first, helps reframe unhelpful thoughts, and focuses on concrete solutions that fit a person's life. The pace and goals are set together so work stays relevant and realistic.
People who prefer a straightforward, collaborative style tend to do well with him. He offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. To begin, a short matching questionnaire helps connect practical needs with the right next step.

Online support options
Approaches that translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's experience. The therapist follows the client's lead, offers empathy, and helps people clarify what matters most and where to begin. This approach is useful when someone needs space to process grief, identity concerns, or major life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test them against real-life evidence. It also introduces simple behavior changes to reduce anxiety and lift mood. CBT often works well for stress, worry, and mood concerns and adapts easily to video or phone sessions for skill practice between meetings.
Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on strengths and small steps that move a person toward their goals. Sessions focus on what is already working and build brief, achievable plans. That pragmatic focus helps when people need quick tools to manage transitions or immediate problems.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, preferences, and daily life. Together they set priorities and adjust the plan as needs evolve.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited; live chat or text-based messaging fit brief check-ins or people with tight schedules. These options make it simpler to keep momentum between sessions and fit therapy into a busy life.
