About Kathy
Kathy Garza is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas. She helps people who are feeling stressed, anxious, depressed, overwhelmed by trauma or abuse, or worn down by compassion fatigue. Kathy focuses on building confidence and practical skills so people can manage day-to-day struggles more clearly.
She uses straightforward, goal-focused conversations that identify what is getting in the way and what can change. Sessions often look at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems stuck and then practice new ways of responding.
How Kathy works
Kathy encourages small, doable steps so progress is steady and noticeable. Kathy has three years of professional experience as an LPC in Texas. That work has included helping people dealing with panic, post-traumatic stress, grief, and feelings of emptiness.
She also supports people navigating adoption and foster care concerns, caregiver stress, chronic illness, immigration-related challenges, and communication problems. In the room she centers the person telling their story and looks for strengths to build on. She aims to make therapy practical, approachable, and tailored to each person’s life.
Kathy works in English and uses methods grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques. To begin, she asks about what matters most right now and helps create a plan that fits daily routines.

Evidence-based techniques for online healing
She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing unhelpful thinking and behaviors. One common approach examines how thoughts influence feelings and actions, then practices new thinking and coping skills to reduce anxiety and depression. This method is useful for panic attacks, worry, low mood, and self-esteem concerns.Another helpful approach involves breaking down trauma responses and building step-by-step strategies to manage symptoms. It emphasizes grounding skills, pacing, and rehearsal of safer responses so people feel more stable day to day. This work can help with post-traumatic stress, abuse recovery, and compassion fatigue effects.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to concerns, discuss options, and tailor techniques to match each person’s goals and preferences. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for in-depth conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging let people send notes or brief updates between sessions and can fit into busy days. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into everyday life.
